Find experienced babysitters in Driftwood, TX

Hi there! My name is Sophia, and I have an extensive background working with children of all ages in various settings. I am currently a Court-Appointed Special Advocate (CASA). I partner with the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services and CPS to advocate for the best interests of children in the foster care system. My current case includes 4 siblings ages 10-17. On weekends, I work at local churches providing Sunday daycare to infants, toddlers, pre-K, and elementary school children. Previously, I worked in a special needs classroom with children ages K-3 grade for two years before I became a part-time nanny for little 2 girls for three years. Since then, I have taken on childcare opportunities for family, friends, and clients of SitterCity (families), SitterTree (churches), KiddieCorp (corporate conferences). I have a love for reading, arts and crafts, imaginative play, and listening to little ones that simply want an audience for their wildest stories and ideas. Some of my favorite activities include nature walk BINGO with the task of finding specific items along our route, acting out our favorite books or movies complete with costumes if we can, and building something together like LEGOs, a fort, etc. When I'm not working with kiddos, I’m a Director at a nonprofit helping women in LATAM become homeowners and build generational wealth.

My name is Rachel Hillyer, I am 22 years old. I was born and raised in Houston,Tx . I spent the past year living in San Marcos and have loved and enjoyed it but there’s nothing like home! I will be moving back late December and can start working December 29th. I’ve been nannying for about 5 years now and am looking for a full time nanny job at most 5 days a week. I am also open to occasional weekend gigs. I’ve babysat for families in the church growing up and I also come from a huge family with 40+ cousins, so as you can imagine I have experience there too.

I have always enjoyed working with children which is essentially why I chose to pursue a degree in early childhood education. I am currently completing my last year at TXST university, while working on my teacher's certification as well. I am very patient and kind when working with any child. I continuously look for ways to educate children while still maintaining a sense of being in a fun and safe environment. I have plenty of energy, therefore I am more than equipped to handle whatever situations I may encounter. I always maintain a sense of respect for the parents I work for and make sure to have a secure sense of faith that I will adequately care for their children. I make sure that my time spent with any child is always engaging and educational to the best of my ability. I am CPR and first aid certified for children of all ages. I know how to deal with situations of distress with children and always maintain a sense of security and safety in order to ensure that any child I am caring for is aware that they are in a safe environment at all times.

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!

Hi! My name is Maria. I’m from Colombia, I’m 23 years old I’m someone responsible, kind, caring, lovely. I love spend time with kids. I have 5 years of experience working like a nanny/ babysitter. I started taking care of girl since she was 1 month old until she was 3 years old, after that I was an Au pair for 3 kids for a year. They were 8 months, 3 years and 5 years when I started with them. And my last job was being and au pair for three kids again pair of twins they were 1 year old and 3 years old girl.

Several years ago I discovered my passion for participating in the blossoming of sweet, young lives. Over the years I’ve gathered experience working personally with families for long or short term periods all over DFW, a majority of my time at a Montessori’s and daycares in S. TX, as well as fun parents nights out! This has allowed me to work with a huge variety of children ranging anywhere from 3 mo.-12 years. That includes unwell/ill children, multiple areas of children on the spectrum, outdoor & food allergies, sensory disorders, and many other special care needs. That exposure has helped me develop countless tips and tricks, to not only help engage and educate little ones, but also make parenthood just a little bit easier :)
