Michelle G., Babysitter in The Colony, TX 75056 with 20 years of paid experience

I have over 20 years of childcare experience. I started babysitting as a teen and then continued to work with children in a daycare setting. I went to school for early childhood education and taught 4th and 5th grade for 7 years. After that I received my master’s in counseling and am currently a school counselor in Irving ISD for ages 4-11. I love working with children and would love to work with your family

Michelle is amazing! Our three boys took to her very well! She was punctual, friendly and responsive. She made us feel really comfortable and our boys are asking when she is coming again because they enjoyed her very much

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.

Megan F., Babysitter in The Colony, TX 75056 with 12 years of paid experience

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!

Megan has been our go-to babysitter for our 2 kids for the past 2 years and has been everything we've needed and more! She's reliable, punctual, and responsive and our kids love her. She has a great deal of comfort and confidence around them, which goes a long way in them looking forward to spending time with her.

Emilia R., Babysitter in The Colony, TX 75056 with 2 years of paid experience

I’m Emilia, a bilingual college student with a warm personality and a strong passion for working with kids. I’m originally from Argentina and now live in Allen, TX, where I study Interdisciplinary Art and Design at the University of North Texas. Spending time with children brings me so much joy. I love their imagination, curiosity, and the little everyday moments, like sharing a story, creating art together, or helping them learn something new. Babysitting allows me to form genuine bonds while giving parents peace of mind. I have over two years of hands-on babysitting experience with children in Argentina. I’ve helped with everything from playtime and bedtime to preparing meals and brushing teeth. I’ve also worked as a tutor, helping students build confidence in their studies, so I’m happy to support schoolwork or reading time, too! I’m responsible, patient, creative, and a great communicator. I’m fluent in both English and Spanish, comfortable managing routines, and always focused on creating a safe and caring environment. I also have the CPR and First Aid Certification and committed to continuing to learn more about childcare and child safety.

Crystal D., Babysitter in The Colony, TX 75056 with 3 years of paid experience

Hi! I'm Crystal. I provide childcare while I'm back in college for another degree, so my availability changes based on the current semester. I've worked with children from 3 months to 11 years, but I can work with older. I can provide all child and home care necessities, such as cooking and feeding, diaper changing and bathing, dishes and laundry, etc. I will try to keep kids off screens but understand the importance they have developed for knowledge and entertainment. I don't smoke, and I have a reliable vehicle. I am comfortably with pets, CPR and First Aid certified for cats and dogs from the Red Cross, and certified from the American Heart Association for humans, due 2028. Please let me know if I can help you with your childcare needs. I look forward to hearing from you soon!

Crystal is professional, dependable, and the kids really enjoyed her night with them. She is so patient and compassionate even with our youngest who can be very much a toddler. Crystal followed all of our instructions, and even went above and beyond. We loved having her and will definitely book again soon!

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.
