- 7 miles
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.

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.

Hey there! My name is Tierra, and I'm looking to earn extra cash so I can continue to take care of my mother. I am new to babysitting for other people, as I am accustomed to babysitting for family and close friends. However, I would love to gain more experience caring for multiple children. I find bonding with children rather easier than with most adults, that may just be the introvert in me. My schedule during the week is constantly changing due to Physical Therapy for my mother, but it can be considerably flexible. I am looking to take care of any age of children either for one time or occasionally. I learned CPR in high school, and I have just received a real certification for it. I am able to do any light cleaning, laundry, prepare any snacks, or easy meals. I am also open to learning new things. I hope you consider me for the job. I would also like to mention that I have no experience with children of any disability, but I am willing to learn and love. I am also fine with any pets, unless it's like a tiger ! ;) . Thank You!

I highly recommend her! She has been wonderful with my children and immediately made them feel comfortable. She takes the time to interact with them, engage in conversation, and genuinely connect with them rather than just supervising from a distance. My kids have had nothing but positive things to say about her and always seem happy after spending time with her. She has also been incredibly flexible, accommodating, and willing to help when needed, which I truly appreciate as a busy parent. It's clear that she cares about the children she works with and creates a safe, positive, and enjoyable environment for them. I feel confident leaving my children in her care and would gladly recommend her to other families.

I have nannied for several families and worked in multiple daycares. I have a master’s degree in education with an emphasis in reading and gifted and talented. I am vaccinated for Covid, the flu, whooping cough, and RSV. I am CPR certified. I have First Aid training as well. When working in childcare, I prioritize children’s developmental growth and educational success. One of my main goals is to foster a safe environment while helping children reach developmental milestones. I love sparking curiosity and creativity in kids by exploring nature,music, and academia. Over the past few years I have created sensory and literary activities. I have always had a passion for working with children and I believe I can be a great addition to your child’s life if given the opportunity!

Shelly helped care for our baby girl for 7 weeks between returning to office and daycare beginning. She was with her between weeks 12-19 and she loved and cared for our girl every single day! She is a joy to have in the house and her love for children is apparent. She brought dozens of books every day and toys like finger puppets and sensory objects. She was monumental in her development, constantly reading books, singing and engaging with her on the floor to help with rolling and tummy time. She also helped us with bottle cleaning! We can't recommend Shelly enough and look forward to having her back to babysit in the future.

Courtney worked out great. Our son was crying when we first left, but she handled the rough start well. And when we got back, he was sitting in her lap listening to her read. It looked like they had a good time together. (Side note: She noticed right away that we prefer no shoes to been worn in our home, and she picked up on our trash/recycling system. Our own parents still haven’t figured those two things out!) We will definitely call her again when the need arises.

Krystal provided me and my special needs adult daughter, a great experience. I reached you look for a last-minute sitter and am so glad I came across Krystal. I would recommend her a thousand times to anyone. She really cares for her clients, and it shows in her work. She made me and my daughter feel comfortable with the experience. She took pictures and gave me a video update of my daughter. This made me feel as though my daughter was safe and having a good time with Krystal. I would recommend her a thousand times to anyone. Thank you again for all your help!!

Hello, My name is Diana! I am 22 years old and I am a fluent Spanish speaker as well. Kids of any age have always been my passion. I have such a high passion for kids which brings me motivation on finishing off college to be an elementary/middle school Science teacher! I need one more year to get my teaching certification. YAY!! My experience with kids began when I was 15 years old. I always took care of family relatives, babies and toddlers on the weekends which built my passion for kids ever since. I also worked at an after-school program/care in Plano Tx called PASAR. PASAR is Plano ISD's after-school care program for students in grades Pre-K through grade 5. My duties and responsibilities were to give children snacks on snack time, take the students out to the school playground, provide fun activities such as crafting, coloring, board games, play basketball or volleyball etc. I would also even help students with any questions they had with homework. I would have assigned a group of 50 kids to watch over for and it was my full responsibility till parents came to pick them up. I am currently a substitute in Wylie ISD in Wylie Tx. I have been substituting for 3 years to gain experience for my future teaching career. I have been subbing for all ages including high school. I am well known with every school campus by school administration. I carry good relationships with administrators and staff and trust me with students! They know that kids are my passion and that I try my very best to make learning fun! I am a person that can get along with anyone! I am very social and always happy around kids.

**STOP! Are you looking for a flexible, trustworthy caregiver who is also an experienced mom? I’m your girl. Nanny since 2021 and the proud mom of a 2-year-old. I am bilingual in English and Spanish. I focus on being reliable, consistent, and—most of all—caring. I provide both childcare and elder care, and I bring patience, attentiveness, and respect to every home I work in. I have plenty of references, I’m experienced with bedtime routines, and I always clean up after the day’s activities. I create a safe, supportive space for those in my care and prioritize communication and transparency with families. I truly love what I do. I enjoy building confidence, getting down on a child’s level to engage and play, and offering companionship and support for older adults. I lead by example by demonstrating good manners, respect, and strong character. I provide feedback at the end of each shift and maintain a professional, non-smoking, and respectful presence in your home. I follow each family’s preferences and guidance when it comes to discipline. I do not use punishment unless specifically instructed to do so, and instead use redirection and gentle guidance to support positive behavior. I love cooking and am happy to help with errands or light household tasks. If this sounds like a great fit, I’d love the opportunity to show you what I do best. *can only work Sunday-every other Wednesday* I only work with one family at a time so I can give it my all!
