Tariana  S., Child Care in Alvarado, TX 76009 with 7 years of paid experience

Hi! My name is Tariana, and I was born and raised in Grand Prairie. Coming from a family of five, I’m the oldest, with a sister and a brother. Currently majoring in accounting, I’m passionate about pursuing my bachelor’s degree. Outside of academics, I enjoy spending time with my family watching TV shows and movies, taking care of our beloved dog Duke, and exploring my culinary skills through cooking and baking. I have a diverse taste in music and love discovering new genres. Babysitting and pet sitting are special interests of mine—I adore spending time with young children and our sweet furry companions. Additionally, I find fulfillment in providing companionship and learning from seniors during caregiving activities. I’m eager to continue pursuing my passions in both accounting and caregiving roles. I have experience in babysitting and childcare, which includes nurturing and engaging with children of various ages. Additionally, I’ve volunteered in community programs focused on education and mentorship for kids. I also have hands-on experience with child care, pet care, and elder care, as well as tutoring and teacher assistant roles. I love working with children because of their creativity, curiosity, and the joy they bring. It’s incredibly rewarding to contribute positively to their growth and development. What sets me apart is my genuine passion for working with children, combined with my patience, creativity in activities, and ability to connect with kids on their level. I prioritize their safety and well-being while fostering an environment where they can learn and have fun.

Absolutely! Here's a thoughtful and positive review you can use or tweak as needed: --- I hired Tariana to help with our three kids during a wedding, and she was absolutely amazing! From the moment she arrived, she was warm, professional, and immediately connected with the kids. She managed the chaos of a big event with calm and grace, kept the kids entertained, safe, and happy the entire time, and was incredibly helpful throughout the evening. I was able to enjoy the wedding without worry, knowing they were in such great hands. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, kind, and capable babysitter!

Jeanne Y., Child Care in Alvarado, TX 76009 with 10 years of paid experience

Due to past experiences, from grocery shopping for the family to playing personal uber driver for the children from school to home to sports practices/games, I quickly realized while I needed to be as flexible as the job. I learned to be an advocate for the children in times where an adult needed to represent them, a nurse when one was hurt, and even a friend when one was having a bad day. As normalized as it is to be "just the nanny", being a good caregiver means just as much to me as the individual hiring me.

Peggy M., Child Care in Alvarado, TX 76009 with 6 years of paid experience

A little bit about me… I am 48 years old. I have two daughters 23 and 27 as well as two grand sond 2 yr old and 5 yrs old. I was in the apartment industry for several years but I knew that was not my calling. So I left the apartment industry and made the decision of doing what I know I was called to do and that is taking care of children. I have lot of nieces and nephews and they will tell you that Tete Peggy are their favorite lol. No matter where I am at, being in the grocery store, shopping mall, Dr office, or on an airplane kids are drawn to me. I was always told that kids can sense a great hearted person or person that has a heart of loving kids. I was a Nanny for 5 years before the pandemic. There was four different families that I worked for. I took care of a 2 mos old beautiful little girl until she turned 2 years old. I had a wonderful family that had a 8 and 13 year old boys that I picked up from school helped with homework and drove to basketball ball practice and tutoring. The third family I took care of was a single father of three beautiful children 3, 5, 8. Last but certainly not lease, I took care of my Pastor at the time, 6 months old son. I am truly passionate about children and their wellbeing.

Peggy has been an absolute blessing for our family. She has been working with us as a full time nanny to our now 4y/o son for over a year. We wouldn't give her up if it wasn't because we are moving out of state. She has extensive experience supporting kiddos with special needs, including those with Autism and Down Syndrome. She is also very kind and loving. Our little one had never bonded as well to a nanny until he met Peggy. A few things that make her stand out: Kind & Loving: She treats your child like her own family. Our little one can be difficult but she is able to manage his meltdowns with love and is able to soothe him when needed by dimming the lights, putting on calming music, doing positive affirmations, and helping him take deep breaths. Highly Experienced: She brings years of knowledge and "pro-tips" to the table.
 Rock-Solid Reliability: We never had to worry—she is consistently on time and dependable.
 Meticulous: She is incredibly clean and always leaves the house in better shape than she found it.
 We're going to miss her!
