Sophia O.

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.

Sophia is absolutely wonderful! We felt so comfortable having her watch our 11 month old, along with our dog who is not the easiest to navigate. From the very beginning, she was very thorough with excellent communication, asking all the right questions to make sure she was prepared for any scenario. She also brings a warmth into the home that instantly puts you at ease, which is often tricky when leaving your baby with someone you don't know. We typically only have sitters come at night after our baby has gone to sleep, but Sophia is someone I would feel completely comfortable having watch during the day and putting down for bed if needed. We are so happy to have found her and can't wait for her to come back again.

Perla is much more than a supervisor; she is an active participant in a child’s growth. During her time with our daughter, she focused on: • Developmental Play: Engaging in plenty of tummy time and floor play to encourage reaching and rolling. • Sensory Discovery: Using music, high-contrast books, and "baby-talk" to stimulate early language and visual skills. • Routine Consistency: Expertly managing bottle feedings and nap schedules, ensuring our daughter felt secure and well-rested. 100% Recommend her she Amazing!!!

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!

I am a bilingual (Spanish and English) certified educational assistant who loves teaching and caring for children. My first year educating started in 2021 being the substitute of English professors and teaching aged groups (12-14yo). At the same time I started a certification of educational assistance which by middle of 2022 it allowed me to become into a full time kindergarten teacher (2-5yo) with responsibilities such as potty training, being self dependent, regulate their emotions. 2 years after I became into the au pair of 3 children (4, 6, 10yo). Living the experience I was in charge of waking up the children, bath them, make snacks and meals, wash clothes and fold laundry, drive them to school and extracurricular activities.

Alyssa is a rare gem, and we are so lucky to have had her help look after our two little boys! Our older son (age 3) has special needs, our younger son has severe food allergies, and we are high-risk for covid 19, so we are a family that places pretty high demands on a caregiver. Alyssa is outstanding: capable, mature, gracious, responsible, patient, and a joy to be around for the whole family. Could not recommend more highly!
