My husband and I are staying in Manarola in Cinque Terre for 5 nights in April 2024. We have booked a flight that leaves Florence late morning on April 9th. Can someone recommend a driver who can take us there? Using a car and driver seems more efficient than either the bus or train when flying out of Florence. Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Travelling that route with a car and driver is likely going to be very expensive! A Google search shows lots of limo services in La Spezia. You could start by getting a quote from this one - https://italianlimousinenetwork.com/?gclid=EAIaIQobChMI2cuuyaXvgAMVgBCtBh1m3Q7pEAMYASAAEgLTNvD_BwE .
Travel by train on that route is very easy. I checked a few solutions using an arbitrary date, and travel time is only about three hours (depending on which departure you choose), with two changes in La Spezia and Pisa Centrale, arriving Firenze SMN. As I recall there's a "people mover" that goes from there to the airport. This provides some information - https://florencetips.com/airport-transfers.html .
It's good that you're getting an early start on the planning.

Not a people mover but a light rail trolley connects Florence SMN station to the airport.
