Howdy! In February, I was given the opportunity to relocate to the PNW. As a born and raised Texan, I am constantly in awe at the new surrounding natural features, especially the huge trees! My childcare career began about ten years ago as a weekly volunteer and eventually as lead teacher at my church. It was there I met families that would become my very first clients. As time went by, my business grew fruitfully! I also began substitute teaching within ECC and elementary schools, including special needs classrooms. In 2019, I returned to school to complete my bachelor’s degree in accounting. At this time, I babysat for my most well established families on an as-needed basis, a few of which are my references. After graduating in December 2021, I moved to Austin for my first full-time accounting position. However, a company-wide RIF impacted my position, which allowed me to Read more think boldly about my next steps. Now that I’ve relocated and settled in, I am opening my schedule up for evening and weekend childcare to supplement my income. Sunday mornings I attend and serve at my new church, so I am available after 12:00 noon. - Ten years of childcare experience as a sitter, “manny,” tutor, substitute teacher, and volunteer - Experience caring for all ages, multiples, in-home and on outings - Experience in homes and classrooms of children with special needs - Flexible childcare style to be consistent with your family’s methods - Welcoming and open-minded to all family types and beliefs - Energetic and positive attitude towards learning and play - Pet friendly and zero allergies - Safety conscious and always present in the moment - CPR and first-aid certified I’m looking forward to chatting with you about your family’s childcare needs. Feel free to send me a message any time! My family references have asked to receive a text message first, so they know to answer your phone call. Thank you!

Thomas was amazing with our son Oliver. He brought books with him and was able to keep our toddler entertained. He is really good with kids and I definitely recommend him.

Thomas is a gem! Four hours before game time (Mariners vs. Astros), our sitter fell ill and canceled. My husband and I were bummed as we had great seats. I went out on a limb and contacted Thomas. He had originally responded to our job posting, but we were already in talks with the original sitter. Thomas was able to tweak his schedule a little and come to our rescue. Our children had never had a male sitter before and our oldest was a little apprehensive when we told her about the last minute change of sitter. Well, all 3 kids woke up the next morning raving about what a great time they had with Thomas. Thomas was very engaging with the kids, attentive to our 2 senior dogs, and tidied up after dinner. I also had some reservations about hiring him at the last minute. I have always met with sitters prior to them watching the kids. But Thomas's professionalism and open communication kept my nerves a ease. The Mariners may have lost that night but we scored a home run with Thomas! We look forward to hiring him again soon!

Thomas took great care of my son. My son really likes trucks so it was nice that Thomas brought a book about trucks to read to him. Thomas was on time and interacted with my son during the entire babysitting appointment. My son is very comfortable around Thomas.

My 3yo son enjoyed the company of Thomas for the day as the two of them had a great time playing, learning math and reading together. Thomas was punctual and thoughtful. He provided great relief to help us out while both my husband and I were working/having meetings during the day. My son loved spending time with him and time flew by very fast during his stay in our house. I highly recommend hiring Thomas as the backup care.

Thomas did a great job with my son (17 months) he was very detail oriented and diligently followed any instructions I left for my toddler. When we came home, everyone was in great spirits and we appreciated the support.

Our daughter got sick and couldn’t attend school, we needed some last minute childcare help, since neither me and my husband could take the day off. I posted a job, and Thomas was one of the applicants. He was super responsive, offered references, made us feel very comfortable to move forward with the process. Next day Thomas showed up with books and toys, he was patient, easy to talk to, my daughter had a great day with him. We ended up extending it to two days, by the end of the second day our daughter asked him to come back and play together again. I would totally hire Thomas again in the future, and definitely recommend him to any family that needs childcare help!
