Perla G., Babysitter in The Colony, TX 75056 with 5 years of paid experience

Hello, My name is Perla. Spanish is my first language, and I speak a little English. I have over 5 years of experience as a babysitter. My main focus is playing with children, reading with them, and supporting their learning. If you have specific educational materials, I’m happy to work with your child using them. I can also help your child learn Spanish as a second language. I am a reliable and responsible person who gives full attention to caring for your children. I enjoy working with young kids and am calm, patient, and caring. I teach through play—focusing on the alphabet, colors, and reading books. I have cared for newborns (as young as 10 days, 5 and 6 weeks), infants, toddlers, and children up to 6 years old . I also help several families with occasional date-night babysitting. Here’s a little more about me: I Have CPR and First Aid certified TDAP vaccinated Own transportation Comfortable with pets Non-smoker References available upon request If my limited English is not a problem for you, I would love to help care for your children. I’ve worked very well with English-speaking families, and while my English is basic, I am committed and dependable. Thank you for your time. I would be happy to meet with you. Please feel free to text me if you have any questions or need references. Thank you! – Perla

We had a wonderful experience with Perla. She is incredibly responsible and experienced, especially with newborns, she took excellent care of our 2-month-old baby. From the very beginning, she made us feel at ease with her calm and nurturing presence. Communication with her was smooth and effortless, and she was always attentive to our baby’s needs. She’s not only knowledgeable about infant care but also genuinely loves working with babies, which shows in everything she does. We truly appreciated her reliability, professionalism, and the peace of mind she brought to our family. We highly recommend her to any family looking for a trustworthy and caring nanny.

Amanda S., Babysitter in The Colony, TX 75056 with 24 years of paid experience

I offer child care for children ages 0-15. I am 40 years old, a mother of two teen/adult children, and a non-smoker. I have 24+ years experience in childcare. I was previously employed with Children's World Childcare Center in Plano Texas, volunteered at Medical Center of Plano (now Medical City) in the newborn nursery. I am certified in first aid and CPR through American Red Cross. I have a clean background, clean driving record and wonderful references. I speak English, Spanish and know some ASL because I have a deaf sibling. I own my vehicle, which seats 6 children (or 4 car seats) and is fully insured. I love pets and have no allergies. I’m a decent cook, and I promise I will treat your children as my own. Please reach out if you think I may be a good match for your family.

Beth has been babysitting our 3 year old daughter for the past six months and she always manages to keep my high energy toddler entertained and happy. We love how Beth is always very active, engaged and ready to take our daughter to the playground, pool, play games in the backyard, teach her new songs or play with all the indoor toys. She also is respectful of our parenting style and our schedule getting all the meals, bath times, potty training etc. done timely, efficiently while still keeping toddler tantrums to a minimum. Overall we find Beth to be warm, friendly, punctual, reliable and someone we can trust to keep our daughter safe. She loves kids and it shows in the attentive care she provides. We are lucky and grateful to have her provide care for our family.

Makenzie N., Babysitter in The Colony, TX 75056 with 18 years of paid experience

I live in The Colony and am available to care for 1-3 children in my home most weekends. I have over 10 years experience as a nanny and many years experience as a teacher. I have a degree in art education and I currently teach for a homeschool pod in Carrollton that includes ages 6-11. I have 2 children ages 7 and 9, two cats and one sweet dog who is a young lab mix. We have an art and learning studio in our home stocked with every material imaginable. I love to facilitate art-making for children, balancing process art with skill building. My yard is mostly a rambling garden full of things for children to explore and complete with a potion kitchen, tree to climb, swings and a large stick and rock collection for creative work. We live walking distance from a pond and lake trails and love to explore nature. Screen time is minimal, scheduled and intentional.

Makenzie was great. We used her to fill in for our nanny's vacation. She was there everyday, on time and did fun stuff with the kids. We will use her again when the need comes up.

Mary was the most caring and conscientious nanny we could ever have hoped to find. She treated our daughter as if she were her own. She took care of all aspects of her care and provided her with love and affection. It was an added plus but she also taught her beginning Spanish. We are only parting ways because we are relocating due to a job transfer. We highly recommend her.
