Taylor is absolutely wonderful. She shows up on time, and always brings something to do with the kids. She even cleans the house when the kids have been put to bed. She’s incredibly kind and sweet and an excellent babysitter. I would highly recommend her to anyone. We love Taylor!

As the youngest of six children with a massive family, I have spent a lifetime naturally caring for nieces and nephews of all ages—from newborns to preteens. This lifelong hands-on experience, combined with my strong educational background, allows me to create a safe, engaging, and structured environment where children can thrive. I am a fully licensed driver with a clean record and a former certified lifeguard, meaning your children's safety and well-being are always my highest priorities whether we are at home or on the go. Open to housekeeping and housesitting

Melanie did a wonderful job watching my 1-year-old for a week. She was so sweet with both my kids and my baby was in good hands. Melanie was also really helpful in tidying up after my little one. I would recommend her!

Hi my name is Alexis. I am 38 years old. I graduated from Stephen F. Austin State University. My major was Accounting. I attended Grand Canyon University and earned my masters in accounting. I love children and interacting with them. I have a 12-year-old son and we have so much fun. I homeschool my son on my own and it’s the best decision I have ever made. Having my son and all the experiences we have encountered have made me more aware when dealing with other people children. My son comes with me and he is self efficient and only ask questions when needed and when it’s time to eat breakfast and lunch. I babysat for other families starting around the year 2005 when I became a senior in high school. While I was in college, I tutored people all the time. I love helping people, whether it is minor or major. The reason that I feel that I would be a great asset to your family is for the simple fact that I am a parent and understanding and know where parents are coming from. I also can help with school work and light house cleaning when needed. I am always on time and I am a self starter. I come prepared to have fun with the children and be your second set of helping hands. My mother has her own cleaning service and I am her right hand. Which incidentally turned me into a clean freak. My schedule is open and flexible to the "T". I will utilize my abilities and knowledge to make my days with your child or children fun educational and memorable. Well, hopefully I will hear from you soon and get to talk to you more.

Hi! My name is Monica, and I’m currently an undergraduate student at the University of St. Thomas majoring in Psychology and Biology and I’m on the pre-med track. From a young age, I’ve had a passion for caring for children. I began by helping my mom, who worked as a nanny, and by assisting in raising my two younger sisters. Over the years, I’ve gained experience working with children of all age, from newborns to teenagers. I have worked in babysitting, summer programs, and after-school care at Poe and Baker Elementary with the Little Heroes program. I’ve looked after different families, like taking care of a families with only one child to bigger families of six kids, and I truly enjoy forming connections with each child I meet. I am CPR certified, have my own transportation, and am comfortable with tasks such as diaper changes, meal preparation, and homework help. Children bring so much joy into my life, and I strive to bring that same joy, safety, and care into theirs. I’d be honored to support your family and get to know your little ones! Please message me for my resumes or any references letters you might need!!

Hello Families! Cassidy here, ready to provide thorough, loving, and professional care for families in need of some extra support. I am a passionate and caring nanny with over 5 years of experience working with children in multiple settings, from private nannying and babysitting to daycare and children’s fitness instruction. I love being a nanny because it allows me to build meaningful, trusting relationships with children and their families. The fulfillment I gain from supporting children as they grow, learn, and develop into their best selves is truly rewarding. I have gained valuable experience working in a daycare setting, where I specialized in infant and toddler care. Additionally, I spent time as a children’s gym instructor, fostering physical activity and encouraging a healthy lifestyle for young children. I am currently working as a registered behavioral therapist. These experiences have strengthened my ability to adapt to each child’s needs and create a fun, structured environment. I have received extensive training in child management, time management, and communication from various businesses, which has allowed me to efficiently handle the day-to-day demands of childcare while maintaining a calm and nurturing approach. My personal experiences with families has also given me the opportunity to understand the unique dynamics and needs of each household. With my skills in infant and toddler care, I’m well-equipped to manage all aspects of childcare, ensuring that children feel supported, safe, and loved in my care.

Hi, I’m Na’Jaria. I’m currently in school for nursing I graduate next year (2023) very excited about that. I’ve been babysitting for about two years now. I’ve always been great with kids, I even thought about opening a small little daycare. I’m the oldest in my household so I started off babysitting my little siblings then it went to my cousins and then friends of the family etc. The parents have always loved me because I’m very dedicated to what I’m doing, I love to have fun and I love to teach. My second child I babysat didn’t know how to write his name so I made a bet with his mom that I could teach him in two weeks and I did it in one. I knew that babysitting was the perfect side job for me to do because I love doing it. I can’t wait to meet my new future kiddies <3

Diamond I.
- 15 years paid experience

Hi! I’m Diamond 32 years young with 2 beautiful children ages 11 and 6— an outgoing, creative, big-kid-at-heart who truly loves working with children. I’ve been caring for kids since high school, starting with babysitting for neighbors on weekends and evenings. From there I worked in daycare environments, supported families as an in-home sitter, and of course gained plenty of hands-on experience raising my own children. I’m comfortable with all ages — newborns, toddlers, school-age kids, and teens. I’m the “fun aunt” type who can get on the floor and play, use my imagination, and keep kids entertained with crafts, games, outdoor activities, and creative learning moments. At the same time, I value structure, safety, and routines, and I make sure children feel secure, heard, and supported. Parents describe me as patient, dependable, and easy to communicate with. I’m great with multitasking, keeping schedules on track, and creating a positive environment where kids can learn, explore, and have fun. If you’re looking for a sitter or nanny who brings both experience and personality, I’d love to help care for your family!
