We came to Lubbock from out of town, I’m so relieved that Zye had a background check already competed and submitted it upon request quickly. My children had a wonderful time with Zye on back to back evenings. Zye even stayed an additional hour for us! My kids said they had fun and felt very safe while in Zye’s care.

Hi! My name is Ashley and I am currently a 3rd grade teacher who is off for the summer. I am very positive and energetic and love playing childhood games just as much as the kids do. I have played volleyball, basketball, and soccer growing up, and also love drawing, painting, and other crafts as well! I am available for part time help. I can drive your kids, tutor, and clean. I have been babysitting for 10 years. I volunteered in high school at summer camps, babysat, and looked after younger family members. I have now been teaching for many years and have experience with teaching 1st, 3rd, and 5th grade. Let me know if I can be of any help to your family. I am so excited to meet your kids!

Ashley helped us over her winter break with our 6-month-old and she was amazing! She was prompt every day, quickly learned how to use all our baby gear (formula, diaper, toys, etc!), and played with our son so well! He took great and long naps after her visits! I loved how much she engaged with him and let him lead the play/activities. He was so happy every morning when he saw her! We will definitely love to have Ashley back whenever she is on break! Thank you, Ashley!!

Chloe D., Babysitter in Idalou, TX 79329 with 5 years of paid experience

Hi! I'm Chloe, and I love spending time with kids and helping families out whenever I can. I have experience working with children through babysitting and as a children's dance instructor, so I'm comfortable caring for kids of different ages and personalities. I enjoy keeping kids active, entertained, and engaged through games, crafts, outdoor activities, and whatever they enjoy most. I'm responsible, dependable, and patient, and I always make sure children are safe while still having fun. Whether it's helping with homework, preparing simple meals, sticking to bedtime routines, or just being a positive role model, I'm happy to help. I understand how important it is for parents to feel comfortable leaving their children in someone else's care, and I work hard to create a fun, caring, and trustworthy environment for every family I work with.

Karen H., Babysitter in Idalou, TX 79329 with 3 years of paid experience

Hi there! My name is Karen, and I absolutely love bringing joy and care into little ones’ days! From silly games to cozy storytime, I make sure every child feels safe, loved, and entertained. With years of daycare experience, I’ve learned how to balance fun with structure. I’m CPR and First Aid certified and have earned multiple certifications through TECPDS. My experience includes working as an infant assistant teacher, substitute teacher (infant–10 years), nanny, and babysitter. This fall, I’ll also be starting the Tech Teach program as part of my elementary education degree at TTU. Not only do I have hands-on experience working with children, but I’m also continuously learning through trainings and certifications. I’m experienced, dependable, and genuinely excited to be part of your family’s support system. I can’t wait to meet you and your little ones! 🩷

Ella E., Babysitter in Idalou, TX 79329 with 1 year of paid experience

Hello! My name is Ella Alfonso, and I’ve been babysitting for family and neighbors for a few years now. Each family has been different, which has taught me how to adjust to different routines and needs, whether I’m caring for toddlers or elementary-aged kids. Growing up, I was also a competitive dancer, and that experience gave me a lot of responsibility and patience—two qualities that are super important when caring for little ones. Now, as a freshman at Texas Tech studying to become a nurse, I feel even more passionate about helping others, especially kids. I’ve learned basic first aid and plan to get my CPR certification soon because I always want to be prepared and keep the children I watch safe. I’m organized, patient, and love communicating with both kids and their parents to make sure everything runs smoothly. What I love most about babysitting is just spending time with kids. Their curiosity and energy are so contagious, and I feel like I can always connect with them, whether it’s through play or learning something new together. It's such a rewarding feeling knowing they trust me and look forward to the time we spend together.
