Find local child care providers in Martindale, TX

I have always enjoyed working with children which is essentially why I chose to pursue a degree in early childhood education. I am currently completing my last year at TXST university, while working on my teacher's certification as well. I am very patient and kind when working with any child. I continuously look for ways to educate children while still maintaining a sense of being in a fun and safe environment. I have plenty of energy, therefore I am more than equipped to handle whatever situations I may encounter. I always maintain a sense of respect for the parents I work for and make sure to have a secure sense of faith that I will adequately care for their children. I make sure that my time spent with any child is always engaging and educational to the best of my ability. I am CPR and first aid certified for children of all ages. I know how to deal with situations of distress with children and always maintain a sense of security and safety in order to ensure that any child I am caring for is aware that they are in a safe environment at all times.

Howdy! I am a Licensed Specialist in School Psychology with a passion for working with children and ensuring adequate child development. I have over 10 years of experience babysitting/nannying. I believe that kids should be able to express themselves creatively and physically (as in not stay in the house all day). English is my first language, but I can speak and understand basic Spanish as well. As for my caregiving philosophy, it mostly depends on the parents. My mission is to ensure that the child's needs are always met. I am quite active and love spending time outside and/or playing games. I pride myself on being creative and accommodating, and have yet to meet a kiddo that would say different :). Additionally, I have experience working with newborns, toddlers, and teens. I also have experience working with kids that have developmental delay and/or Autism. I am CPR, First Aid, and AED certified. I am also comfortable with animals (dogs, cats, birds, etc.)

Hi there! My name is Sophia, and I have an extensive background working with children of all ages in various settings. I am currently a Court-Appointed Special Advocate (CASA). I partner with the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services and CPS to advocate for the best interests of children in the foster care system. My current case includes 4 siblings ages 10-17. On weekends, I work at local churches providing Sunday daycare to infants, toddlers, pre-K, and elementary school children.

Since then, I have taken on childcare opportunities for family, friends, and clients of SitterCity (families), SitterTree (churches), KiddieCorp (corporate conferences). I have a love for reading, arts and crafts, imaginative play, and listening to little ones that simply want an audience for their wildest stories and ideas. Some of my favorite activities include nature walk BINGO with the task of finding specific items along our route, acting out our favorite books or movies complete with costumes if we can, and building something together like LEGOs, a fort, etc. When I'm not working with kiddos, I’m a Director at a nonprofit helping women in LATAM become homeowners and build generational wealth.

Several years ago I discovered my passion for participating in the blossoming of sweet, young lives. Over the years I’ve gathered experience working personally with families for long or short term periods all over DFW, a majority of my time at a Montessori’s and daycares in S. TX, as well as fun parents nights out! This has allowed me to work with a huge variety of children ranging anywhere from 3 mo.-12 years. That includes unwell/ill children, multiple areas of children on the spectrum, outdoor & food allergies, sensory disorders, and many other special care needs. That exposure has helped me develop countless tips and tricks, to not only help engage and educate little ones, but also make parenthood just a little bit easier :)

I come from a big family so children were always in the equation. From a young age I learned to not only take care of myself but of my siblings as well. I've always had a love for children and started babysitting at the age of 15, watching a family friends children who were 3 and 5. I tend to bond with children very easily and see myself as a child at heart. At the age of 17 I started working at Urban Air which allowed me to develop more kid-friendly techniques. I believe that I a very capable of fulfilling any job that comes my way. After graduating, I moved to San Marcos for college and ended up finding an after school program job.

Since then I’ve been reached out to by parents to help with babysitting past campers . I have a deep love for children and plan to work with them more in the future!
