Hey there, families! My name is Lyra, and I hail from the land of breakfast tacos and live music, Austin, Texas. I am currently a Neuroscience and Psychology student at the UT Austin, which means I know exactly how to get inside your kids' heads! Just kidding...or am I? When it comes to children, I bring a unique blend of experience, creativity, and love. I've worked with kids of all ages - from infants to teenagers, and even those with special needs. I've coached, tutored, mentored, and played with them all! My passion is engaging kids in imaginative and creative play, especially activities that challenge them both physically and mentally. I've got a background in theatre and acting, which means I can lead the kids in a game of "let's pretend," or even act out some of their favorite stories. And let's not forget my love for reading - I'm happy to help your little ones get lost in a good book, or even write their own stories! Now, let's get down to business. Safety is my top priority, and that's why I am Health Care Provider CPR & First Aid Certified. So, if the kiddos scrape their knees or bump their heads, I'll be ready to handle it with ease. Overall, I am thrilled to bring my skills, experience, and personality to your family. Let's work together to create a fun, safe, and engaging environment for your children. I look forward to meeting you!

Robin was great with our two daughters, we will happily have her sit whenever we can! She is always professional in our interactions, quick to respond, organized, provides detailed responses and is completely dependable. She's fantastic with the kids, very good at engaging them, brings ideas and activities, and is highly interactive with them. Would recommend her to anyone!

🦋 Howdy, y’all! My name is Liz and I graduated from UT Austin this May. I’m back in DFW and looking for new families! Here’s a bit about me. I grew up babysitting and working as a summer camp counselor. In January of 2023, I began teaching art classes to elementary school children through Young Rembrandts. In the summer of 2023, I took on a new role as a preschool teacher. Since then, I’ve continued my teaching with the addition of babysitting and nannying on the side. Both jobs have been a complete and total joy. I’m an engaged caretaker who can play for hours, but I always make sure to sneak in some educational content. It’s really important for me to get kids moving and learning. I love to sing, dance, play make believe, read, watch movies, cook, clean, and learn about the world around us. I make sure to keep an open line of communication with parents, as they know what’s best for their child’s health and well-being more than anyone else. I’m CPR and First Aid certified, and I also maintain certifications in SIDS prevention and SBS prevention. I also have a Food Handler’s License! Safety is of utmost importance to me. Trusting your child’s safety with another person is something that I do not take lightly. If you’re looking for a reliable babysitter in the DFW area, I’m your gal! Please contact me with any questions you may have. 🦋

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!

We have a 2-month and 18-month old. Zeima was very patient with them. We booked her for 5 hours and she sent frequent updates about the kids’ wellbeing. We all loved her and will definitely be booking her again. She’d awesome!

Hello Family, I’m Jacinda Romo, and I’m excited to share a little about myself with you! I’ve been a nanny for over six wonderful years, and I truly cherish every moment spent with children. I grew up in El Paso, Texas, where I lived for 15 years before moving to Denver, Colorado, for the next decade. Recently, I returned to Texas, and it feels so good to be back home! If you ask my loved ones, they’d describe me as dependable, kind, and organized. From a young age, I’ve always had a nurturing spirit, taking care of my two younger sisters. My youngest sister is Deaf, Autistic, and has ADHD, which taught me the importance of patience, creativity, and unconditional love. I began nannying in high school, and as word spread, I happily continued throughout college, eventually graduating from CU Boulder in May 2021. Each child I’ve cared for has held a special place in my heart, and I’ve built meaningful relationships with the more than ten families I’ve had the joy of working with. Children have a remarkable way of bringing out the best in us, and through nannying, I’ve honed my adaptability, resourcefulness, and attentiveness. My greatest joy comes from helping kids grow into kind and strong individuals. After finishing my degree, I spent three years as an Employment Specialist, where I provided training and support to youth and adults with disabilities. My heart is truly in nurturing children and uplifting underserved communities. I hold a Colorado Substitute K-12 Teacher Certification and am CPR and AED certified. I also speak Spanish and American Sign Language, which helps me connect with even more families. Thank you for taking the time to get to know me a little better. I can’t wait to embark on this journey with you and your family! Warmly, Jacinda

We were visiting Austin for a few weeks and needed some help with our daughter. What a wonderful time she had. She's four and both my husband and I, and our daughter, were instantly at ease. She had some great ideas to entertain our daughter whilst in Austin too. Jacinda would take her to parks, museums, and the library, and she also played with her so nicely at home too. Jacinda would be a great addition to any family looking for help with their little ones.

Hi! I’m a 23-year-old caregiver with over 8 years of experience nurturing children of all ages. My approach to childcare is rooted in my love for learning and the outdoors; I’m a firm believer that the best days are spent exploring nature or getting lost in a great book. Whether we’re hitting the local park or working through a new craft project, I prioritize creating a safe, engaging, and screen-free environment. I’m a 'people person' at heart and love building strong, trusting relationships with the families I work for!

Hi! My name is Emma, and I love children -- they’re our best teachers and joy-guides. I’ve cared for kids ranging from infants to adolescents, and worked as a swim coach for ages 1-12. Currently, I’m transitioning from working a corporate job (recipe editing) to building a life of peace & health. I earned my bachelor’s in psychology from UC Davis and am now working toward my studio art degree (finally following my real dreams!). Earning ECE units is also a goal this year. Being a source of nourishment for children is one of my greatest joys. My mother is an art teacher, and my father is a music teacher. I’ve seen the profound impact that a single adult can have on a child’s life, and I deeply desire to do the same. I’m a visual artist & writer, and meditation is at the center of my life. I’ve studied Ayurveda at the Shakti School, and I love reading, writing poetry, singing, gardening, traveling, and being close to the earth. My loved ones tell me that I have a very maternal, warm nature. As a highly sensitive person, I can always sense the moods and needs of other people. I deeply understand emotions and can see into the root of behaviors. Attuning to each child comes quickly to me; I believe that simply listening with love solves most emotional & behavioral storms. Please reach out to me with any questions if you feel I may be a match for your child! I hope to connect with your family soon.

Emma was wonderful to work with. She has a clear passion for kids. We were only in town for a week and she immediately was able to come in and help and mastered the kids’ routines. Can’t wait to have her back again when we are back in town!

Hi Parents! If you’re looking for a fun, energetic, dedicated young nanny, i’d like to introduce myself! I have looked after my two younger siblings since I was 8/yo & started babysitting outside of the house since the age of 16. I wanted to find a job where I could be supportive, creative, and be genuinely happy with what I was engaging my energy and time with. Last year I decided to take it to another step and be a live in nanny! I’ve have experience with the ages 2 to 12 years and up with three kids at a time. My interests are art, dance, nature, photography, I like contemplating them as much as I can when working; crafts, learning techniques/games, dancing & of course also learning and taking part of activities your children enjoy! Hope to hear from you soon, thank you!
