I am excited to connect with a family seeking a full-time, long-term nanny who can grow alongside them! With over 21 years of professional experience, I have had the privilege of working with families with a wide range of chilcare needs. My responsibilities have included establishing developmentally appropriate daily schedules and routines, which includes a wide range of fun activities. Engaging with little ones through playtime, music, singing, and reading brings me much joy and delight. Whether it’s a fun day at the park, a trip to the library, or organizing play dates, I believe in creating enriching experiences for children. I have a strong ability to understand and to meet the needs of children while ensuring that they follow developmentally appropriate daily routines. I bring a wealth of knowledge about calming techniques, gained from reading, listening to parents, and from my own extensive experience. I also assist families dealing with a child's medical or unique developmental needs in managing medicine regimens, feeding schedules, including tube feeding as needed. My broad understanding of childcare also means that I am committed to supporting the entire family. I will assist you with household tasks, ensuring everything in your household runs smoothly, which is something working parents greatly appreciate. From tidying up to taking care of the children's clothes, I believe in creating an organized and loving environment. As a caring, mature, and dedicated childcare professional, your family's interests will always be my priority. In addition to being a proud mom of two amazing adult children, I am passionate about using my gifts and talents to serve at my church and give back to the community, locally and internationally. In the words of my long-term employer, Ms. S: “Margaret is reliable and dedicated, and was a gift to our family during the four full years she served with us.” I look forward to hearing from you!

Hello, My name is Diana! I am 22 years old and I am a fluent Spanish speaker as well. Kids of any age have always been my passion. I have such a high passion for kids which brings me motivation on finishing off college to be an elementary/middle school Science teacher! I need one more year to get my teaching certification. YAY!! My experience with kids began when I was 15 years old. I always took care of family relatives, babies and toddlers on the weekends which built my passion for kids ever since. I also worked at an after-school program/care in Plano Tx called PASAR. PASAR is Plano ISD's after-school care program for students in grades Pre-K through grade 5. My duties and responsibilities were to give children snacks on snack time, take the students out to the school playground, provide fun activities such as crafting, coloring, board games, play basketball or volleyball etc. I would also even help students with any questions they had with homework. I would have assigned a group of 50 kids to watch over for and it was my full responsibility till parents came to pick them up. I am currently a substitute in Wylie ISD in Wylie Tx. I have been substituting for 3 years to gain experience for my future teaching career. I have been subbing for all ages including high school. I am well known with every school campus by school administration. I carry good relationships with administrators and staff and trust me with students! They know that kids are my passion and that I try my very best to make learning fun! I am a person that can get along with anyone! I am very social and always happy around kids.

Rahela T.
- 10 years paid experience

My name is Rahela Torno, and I want to tell you why you’ll be glad I’m taking care of your children. I have over ten years paid experience, including families with children ranging from newborn to nine years old. I have great child skills combined with ability to expose children to new cultural experiences. My most recent position is with a mom of two boys – a newborn and just under three years old. She is a professional analyst working from home, so I have to be conscious of her need for undisturbed work time throughout the day. From 8 am to 4 pm, the children spend their time playing games, enjoying age-appropriate activities, and having homemade lunches. My client often expresses her appreciation for my adaptability, enthusiasm, and ability to handle any situation. My prior clients were a professional family with two children which grew to three while we were together. In addition to the activities above, I was responsible for picking up the older boy from pre-school, and when the third child was born, helping with infant care, and taking care of the two older boys when one of the parents wasn’t home. I normally worked afternoons/early evenings Monday thru Friday, and occasionally took on a Friday or Saturday evening when the couple wanted a “date night”. I think that children are central to a happy family life, and I practice love and positive reinforcement techniques when caring for my charges. I appreciate any potential client taking the time to consider my application. I believe that children, starting from newborn, need freedom to explore from a feeling of being loved and protected. I enjoy sharing new discoveries with children and encouraging them to grow and learn in happiness. You can contact me with any questions. I would love to work with your family and get to know your children. I have certified in both Infant First Aid and CPR

I am a retired psychologist and worked with children throughout my 30 years of counseling. While this did not entail "caring" for children, it did require being able to talk to and understand them at a very deep level. I have been professionally carring for children since 2017. Most of my experience with children has been to raise my own two who are now a paramedic and a public school teacher and I have been having my 3 grand children come visit with me on weekends from infancy to now. The eldest is 13 years old. I also was a girl scout leader for 10 years when the girls were 5 years old until they were 15. I took them camping on weekends and on two trips, one out of state and one out of the country. I spent one year as a first grade teacher for Dallas Independent School District. I am definitely a fun babysitter. I even bring my own board games if the kids are old enough. I am very responsible. I am healthy and active. I do not miss work and can get down on the floor to play with the kids. I treat children with kindness and respect. I like to cook, especially healthy foods. I am comfortable with animals. I am a former lifeguard and have an accident and ticket free driver’s license. I have many 5 star reviews on some of the other sitter plataforms which I can send you if you would like. Thank you for reading this. Elaine Lemmer
