Find experienced babysitters in Merkel, TX

Hi! My name is Frances, and I’m a caring, patient, and dependable babysitter with extensive experience working with children of all ages. I am an elementary school teacher, currently teaching grades K–5, so I’m very familiar with children at different developmental stages, learning styles, and personalities. In addition to my professional experience, I am also a parent to a child with special needs, autism to be more specific, which has given me hands-on experience, understanding, and confidence in providing patient, attentive, and individualized care. I’m comfortable supporting children who may need extra structure, communication support, or emotional reassurance. I enjoy keeping kids engaged with age-appropriate activities like reading, crafts, games, and outdoor play, and I can help with homework, simple meals, and daily routines. My top priorities are always safety, kindness, and creating a calm, positive environment where children feel comfortable and cared for. I would love the opportunity to support your family and provide care you can trust.

I love being a sitter because I love kids, I have experience with a lot from keeping kids entertained to helping them with real life stuff like school, advice with friends, whatever is needed really, I can help with breakfast, lunch, or dinner just depending what they want cause I’m not really the cooking type but I know some basics, I’m trained in CPR & in high school I took a child development class

I have between 5-6 years of paid childcare experience but I actually have 7-8 years of experience taking care of children that’s aren’t my family’s! I first started volunteering in my church nursery at 12, and at 15 was hired on as a paid childcare employee. While doing that Sunday mornings and Wednesday evenings I also helped out Sunday evening in my church’s awanas program mentoring children and teaching them about God. When I graduated high school I got hired as a counselor at a summer Christian camp! I loved going on adventures with the little kids and playing games! When I got back home I started cosmetology school and became a part time nanny to a special needs boy. I took care of him and his 4 siblings for about 2 years until I graduated! Now I am a full time hairstylist and try to get back to see them as much as possible! Aside from doing hair I help my sister take care of her children on some evenings. I have twin nieces so I have lots of experience with twins! Recently I’ve noticed I miss working with children! My goal is to find a lifestyle where I can balance my hair career along with taking care of children and pouring my love and attention into them while giving their parents some much needed rest or time to work on their own career! I have experience with household chores and cooking. I am also good with dogs, I grew up with them all my life and now own two of my own! I also have training in first aid and CPR from when I was a camp counselor but my certification has since expired, however I am willing to get recertified if needed.

Hello, I'm Elena! I am currently going to school for teaching and I have plenty of experience working with children specifically 13 months - 2 year olds but would love working with any age! I love being a sitter because it brings joy to me and lets me be able to help parents who need it!!

I’m a proud mother of four children and loving grandmother to five energetic little boys. Raising my children mostly on my own gave me years of hands-on experience caring for kids of all ages and taught me the importance of patience, kindness, safety, and dependable care. Children have always been at the center of my life, and I truly enjoy spending time with them — whether it’s helping with routines, playing games, reading stories, or simply making them feel safe and cared for. I understand how important it is for parents to trust the person caring for their children, and I treat every child with the same love and attention I would give my own family. I’m dependable, compassionate, and experienced, and I would love the opportunity to care for your little ones.
