Hello I'm Serena! I have lots of experience being a sitter, working at daycares, as a nanny and experience with caring for my nieces and nephews has taught me a lot about childcare. Childcare is something I am very passionate about! My responsibilities would be cooking/light housekeeping, crafts, homework help, etc. A few words to describe myself would be patient, problem-solving and creative. I am CPR certified and First Aid certified. I can provide my resume if needed!

Hi! My name is Lizette and I've been a sitter since high school! Occupation: I am currently a high school English teacher. I absolutely LOVE my job and have a passion for teaching. Previous Sittercity Jobs: In the summer of 2021, I was a full-time nanny for a 2-year-old boy. I watched him from 8-5:30 M-F. We went to the park every day, read, gardened, baked, made art, and played lots of baseball. I helped keep the home tidy and made sure to communicate with parents as needed. Summer of 2019, I watched a 10-month-old from 8-12pm. I was in charge of changing, entertainment, nap time, lunch, and breakfast occasionally. Personal Experience: I have two younger siblings who are twins and are eight. I’ve been helping my parents care for them since they were born! Outside of watching my siblings or cousins, I’ve also done date nights, and morning watch, and supervised game nights through a nanny agency in Austin. Through this agency, I also worked in various church nurseries, which allowed me to gain childcare experience with various ages. I have also worked at a YMCA summer camp as a counselor and child watch attendant so I know plenty of crafts if your kids like art. This job allowed me to work with kids from newborn to 12 years old. I enjoy playing outside, video games, and board games. I’m also a writer so my storytelling is pretty imaginative! If you have any more questions about me please ask. :) Other: I have been CPR and First Aid certified, but I believe they need to be renewed soon. I have my own car and will drive as needed. I’m willing to put any type of safety/car seats in the back to ensure safety. Although I’m willing to drive, I will admit I would prefer driving short distances until your kids are comfortable with me. I want them to enjoy their time with me and feel safe always. I am willing to meet before a job, so we can get to know each other. If you enjoy my care, I am also willing to be a routine sitter!

I became a caregiver because coming from a large family , I personally understand the need for a good sitter for your loved ones. I normally nanny but also babysit. I have had ages 2 months - 12 years under my care. I am CPR certified & First Aid certified as well. I love planning activities and being engaged with the children. I am always a call away, I love to stay busy so as long as I have no nannying hours lined up, I will be right over!

Hi! I’m Marina I’m the babysitter who will gladly have a tea party with stuffed animals, build the ultimate blanket fort, and read the same bedtime story for the tenth time with enthusiasm.

Hello! My name is Linda and I have a Master’s in Teaching Early Childhood through Sixth Grade (all core subjects & additional ESL certification). I have been working as a state licensed elementary teacher for 5 years, who has lovingly serviced kids of many ages, needs, and backgrounds. I have a friendly, professional, and fun personality that gets along well with kids of all ages. I’m professional but also a big kid myself who loves to share a passion for science, history, and reading. I enjoy spending time with children and felt this would be a great opportunity to offer my services during weekends, summer, and after school hours! As a professionally trained educator, I am state-background checked and finger printed to work in a public school for the state of Texas. I also am trained on providing social emotional care to children and often manage groups of up to 35 or more kids at once. Just ask about my many additional certificates, like the science of teaching reading, that I’ve earned as an educator through ongoing professional development trainings! I can also provide light cleaning, laundry, pet care, homework and tutoring help. I specialize in teaching young students how to read, write and do math - let me know ahead of time, and I can arrange to bring tutoring materials upon request based on student needs. *I’m a very active person who will play and be active with your child, especially those with high energy! I can even do gentle yoga with the children if interested upon request. If you want someone to take your child(ren) on walks, bike rides, or excursions, please let me know! During the summer (June/July), I’ll have open availability throughout the week and weekends. In my spare time, I recently started a free blog & podcast to read classic and interesting texts out loud to children, to promote literacy, and to offer reading tips and articles for parents. I’m excited to share that with friends and family soon!
