Beth has been babysitting our 3 year old daughter for the past six months and she always manages to keep my high energy toddler entertained and happy. We love how Beth is always very active, engaged and ready to take our daughter to the playground, pool, play games in the backyard, teach her new songs or play with all the indoor toys. She also is respectful of our parenting style and our schedule getting all the meals, bath times, potty training etc. done timely, efficiently while still keeping toddler tantrums to a minimum. Overall we find Beth to be warm, friendly, punctual, reliable and someone we can trust to keep our daughter safe. She loves kids and it shows in the attentive care she provides. We are lucky and grateful to have her provide care for our family.

- < 1 mile
I live in The Colony and am available to care for 1-3 children in my home most weekends. I have over 10 years experience as a nanny and many years experience as a teacher. I have a degree in art education and I currently teach for a homeschool pod in Carrollton that includes ages 6-11. I have 2 children ages 7 and 9, two cats and one sweet dog who is a young lab mix. We have an art and learning studio in our home stocked with every material imaginable. I love to facilitate art-making for children, balancing process art with skill building. My yard is mostly a rambling garden full of things for children to explore and complete with a potion kitchen, tree to climb, swings and a large stick and rock collection for creative work. We live walking distance from a pond and lake trails and love to explore nature. Screen time is minimal, scheduled and intentional.

Makenzie was great. We used her to fill in for our nanny's vacation. She was there everyday, on time and did fun stuff with the kids. We will use her again when the need comes up.

I offer child care for children ages 0-15. I am 40 years old, a mother of two teen/adult children, and a non-smoker. I have 24+ years experience in childcare. I was previously employed with Children's World Childcare Center in Plano Texas, volunteered at Medical Center of Plano (now Medical City) in the newborn nursery. I am certified in first aid and CPR through American Red Cross. I have a clean background, clean driving record and wonderful references. I speak English, Spanish and know some ASL because I have a deaf sibling. I own my vehicle, which seats 6 children (or 4 car seats) and is fully insured. I love pets and have no allergies. I’m a decent cook, and I promise I will treat your children as my own. Please reach out if you think I may be a good match for your family.

We had a wonderful experience with Perla. She is incredibly responsible and experienced, especially with newborns, she took excellent care of our 2-month-old baby. From the very beginning, she made us feel at ease with her calm and nurturing presence. Communication with her was smooth and effortless, and she was always attentive to our baby’s needs. She’s not only knowledgeable about infant care but also genuinely loves working with babies, which shows in everything she does. We truly appreciated her reliability, professionalism, and the peace of mind she brought to our family. We highly recommend her to any family looking for a trustworthy and caring nanny.

Mary was the most caring and conscientious nanny we could ever have hoped to find. She treated our daughter as if she were her own. She took care of all aspects of her care and provided her with love and affection. It was an added plus but she also taught her beginning Spanish. We are only parting ways because we are relocating due to a job transfer. We highly recommend her.

Hi! I'm Crystal. I provide childcare while I'm back in college for another degree, so my availability changes based on the current semester. I've worked with children from 3 months to 11 years, but I can work with older. I can provide all child and home care necessities, such as cooking and feeding, diaper changing and bathing, dishes and laundry, etc. I will try to keep kids off screens but understand the importance they have developed for knowledge and entertainment. I don't smoke, and I have a reliable vehicle. I am comfortably with pets, CPR and First Aid certified for cats and dogs from the Red Cross, and certified from the American Heart Association for humans, due 2028. Please let me know if I can help you with your childcare needs. I look forward to hearing from you soon!

Crystal is professional, dependable, and the kids really enjoyed her night with them. She is so patient and compassionate even with our youngest who can be very much a toddler.
