My name is Lynn and I am a mother of two children in college. I have lived in Austin for 28 years and had been a stay at home mom. I have plenty experience in the field of children know matter what age or stage your child is approaching. I am a very warm hearted energetic person who enjoys helping others! I benefit from exercising whether it’s at the gym or outdoors, working in the yard or walking with the dogs, children or neighbors. I had been a volunteer at St. David’s Hospital, NAMC 2017-2023 at the main entrance front registration desk. I was also a part time nanny for a baby boy from July 2022-November 2022 until he reached eight months when he entered daycare. January -March 2023 I was helping many families with one -time temporary nanny jobs. April-December 2023 I nannied for a two year old boy and a four year old girl. In January-July 2024 my clientele kept me very busy with kids of all ages. August-December 2024 I nannied a four month old until he started daycare in 2025. Since January 2025, I have been nannying for a family with a four month old until she starts daycare in September 2025. Now that my kids are in college, I have a flexible schedule and love to spend time with the young ones.

Hi my name is Davi, I grew up in rural Texas, but now find myself living in Austin. I’m the oldest of 3 so as I grew up, I helped my mom manage our household. I’ve been babysitting and taking care of children for almost as long. Starting the summer of my 6th grade year (2006) I stayed with 2 boys ages 8&6. Since then, I’ve babysat/nannied for many families with multiple children (and animals). The last family I nannied for had a newborn who I had most of the day and then I had her 3 brothers when they were out of school. I believe kids should not sit in front of screens all day, so I try to get them to use their imaginations as much as possible. I’m very hands on and am down for anything from play dough to baking (age appropriate of course). My mom taught Pre-K for 20+ years so I’m aware of things that kids need to do in development such as crawling before they walk, touching their toes with their opposite hand, and that they need to be able to do things at their pace, even if they make a mess, so they can learn.

ABOUT ME I am 37 year old female and a graduate of St. Edward’s University. I moved back from NY 5 years ago. I am currently running my own mobile spray tanning and work in fitness in the afternoons/weekend mornings. I am looking for a new family to babysit for in the mornings a few days a week or babysit on call for date nights (Wednesday or Sunday evenings)! Please send me a message if this sounds like a good fit! I enjoy spending time outdoors, swimming, dancing, and playing the piano. In the past few years I have babysat for a family in West Austin. I have come to love this family and even spend time with the mother when we both have free time! Most of the experiences listed below are long term nanny jobs I have had. I have sat for about 3 different families while in college. EXPERIENCE 2008-2012 The Disorbo Family I met the Disorbo family when I moved to Austin for school. I have been sitting for them ever since. They have four kids. A 12 year old girl, an 8 year old boy, 10 year old boy, and 4 year old boy. They also have a dog I look after. The kids are wonderful! I play different games with the kids, encourage them to go on walks or we walk to different trails. I get them fed and to bed. I also help them with homework if there is a need. This has been one of my greatest babysitting experiences. The kids and parents are so sweet. My parents have even become friends with the Dirobo’s over the years. June ’03-August ‘06 Judge Ditta’s Family For the Ditta family, I babysat 3 girls on a very regular basis, before I left Houston for college. The children were 2, 4, and 6 years old whenever I first babysat them. I helped the kids understand their homework, took them to dance practice, prepared their meals, cleaned up around the house, and put them to bed. I had a blast playing games, house, dancing around, swimming, and doing arts and crafts with the girls. I usually babysat them on weekends until one or two in the morning. I don’t mind staying up late! May ‘02- August ‘06 Fernandez Family When I started babysitting for the Fernandez family their daughter was seven. Allergic to cats. Fine with dogs.

Hey there, families! My name is Lyra, and I hail from the land of breakfast tacos and live music, Austin, Texas. I am currently a Neuroscience and Psychology student at the UT Austin, which means I know exactly how to get inside your kids' heads! Just kidding...or am I? When it comes to children, I bring a unique blend of experience, creativity, and love. I've worked with kids of all ages - from infants to teenagers, and even those with special needs. I've coached, tutored, mentored, and played with them all! My passion is engaging kids in imaginative and creative play, especially activities that challenge them both physically and mentally. I've got a background in theatre and acting, which means I can lead the kids in a game of "let's pretend," or even act out some of their favorite stories. And let's not forget my love for reading - I'm happy to help your little ones get lost in a good book, or even write their own stories! Now, let's get down to business. Safety is my top priority, and that's why I am Health Care Provider CPR & First Aid Certified. So, if the kiddos scrape their knees or bump their heads, I'll be ready to handle it with ease. Overall, I am thrilled to bring my skills, experience, and personality to your family. Let's work together to create a fun, safe, and engaging environment for your children. I look forward to meeting you!
