Hello! I'm a 29 year-old college graduate living in Plano. My mom was 1 of 20 children, so I have tons of little cousins, about 40 under the age of 13 so I've been around children all my life. I have 12 years of paid babysitting experience. I've after-school nannied for two families, with 5 and 8-year-old girls. In my free time I like to pick up occasional babysitting gigs. I have a ton of experience with all ages of children, including: infants, toddlers, twins, multiples and special needs. I've watched up to 6 kids at a time. I strive to be great role-model for all the children I babysit for. I really enjoy getting to know each child and I do my best to develop a good relationship with them because they are all so different. I always look forward to working with new families. Please feel free to message me if you think I would be a good fit for you and your family!

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
