Michelle B., Child Care in Leander, TX 78641 with 8 years of paid experience

Dear Families, My name is Michelle Banchs, and I am excited about the opportunity to provide childcare or companionship for your loved ones. As both a mother of two and someone with professional childcare experience, I understand the importance of creating a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment where children and seniors alike feel valued and cared for. I previously worked at Bravo Arts Academy in Utah, where I gained hands-on professional experience guiding children in their growth, creativity, and daily routines. In addition, I currently volunteer in the children’s ministry at my church, which has allowed me to expand my skills working with kids of various ages in a supportive and structured setting. These experiences, along with raising my own children, have equipped me with patience, flexibility, and the ability to connect with people on a personal level. I am also passionate about offering companionship for seniors. I believe kindness, attentiveness, and trust are at the heart of quality care, and I approach each opportunity with a sense of responsibility and genuine compassion. I would love the chance to support your family and bring peace of mind by caring for your children or providing companionship for your elderly loved one. Thank you for considering me, and I look forward to the opportunity to meet and discuss how I can be of service. Warm regards, Michelle Banchs

Zeima g M., Child Care in Leander, TX 78641 with 5 years of paid experience

Why Do I Love Being a Sitter? I love being a sitter because it gives me the chance to create a safe, nurturing, and fun environment for children. As a mother of one daughter who is now out of state attending dental school, I’ve always found caring for children incredibly fulfilling. Having just one child has made me treasure the opportunity to nurture and connect with kids, which is why babysitting feels so rewarding to me. Building trust with both children and parents is something I deeply value. What Experience Do I Have? I have extensive experience caring for children and also have a background in caring for the elderly, which has taught me patience, empathy, and responsibility. I’ve worked with children of all ages, from infants to school-aged kids, and I’m confident in managing their daily routines, ensuring their safety, and making their day enjoyable. What Skills and Training Do I Have? I am fluent in Spanish and enjoy incorporating it into caregiving, whether it’s helping bilingual families or teaching children basic words. While I’m still improving my English, I can communicate well and ensure clear understanding with both children and parents. I’m currently working on reactivating my CPR certification to ensure I’m always prepared. My skills include safely driving kids to and from school or activities, engaging in creative play, and assisting with light housework to help keep things running smoothly at home. I’m excited to bring dedication, care, and enthusiasm to your family!

Kamryn  S., Child Care in Leander, TX 78641 with 7 years of paid experience

Hello my name is Kamryn Shoffstall, I am 26 years old and have 5 years experience working professionally within childcare facilities and 8 years babysitting. I also have nanny experience within my own home while living upon a military base and out of my current home for a year and a half. I have had extensive background checks and maintain a clean driving record. I am CPR and first aid certified. I have my own transportation and can pick up and drop off if needed. I know how hard it can be to find trustworthy people to care for your children, I am here to help you out! I know this is different but I prefer doing care out of my own home as my home is set up to accommodate more children including my own. I have a 4 year old girl and 11 month old girl. We have a kid friendly home with toys and activities for all age ranges. We do have stairs but have baby gates at top and bottom. Our upstairs is a loft like area that is full of toys, a whiteboard and learning posters. There is also a bathroom and bedroom that is not regularly used. This room could be used for naps or rest time. We have baby locked cabinets in the kitchen and a potty seat for small children.
