Octavia B., Nanny in South Houston, TX 77587 with 17 years of paid experience

Hello! I’m a Freelance Lifestyle Manager working at the intersection of travel nannying, professional organizing, household management, and personal assistance. With nearly 20 years of experience working in private homes, my career began in childcare. Naturally, it evolved as I learned to support not only children, but the many moving pieces that keep life running smoothly. Today, I provide flexible, concierge-style support for families and busy professionals based on what they need in their current season. Childcare remains one of my specialties. I have experience with children from newborns through teens and hold a degree in Social Work with a concentration in child development. My approach is Montessori-informed, child-centered, and culturally aware, encouraging independence, curiosity, creativity, and exploration. I enjoy getting to know each child’s interests and incorporating learning, cultural experiences, educational outings, and real-world discovery into our time together. My work extends far beyond traditional childcare. I can step in during busy seasons, travel, transitions, organizing projects, moves, postpartum periods, events, or simply when life requires an extra set of capable hands. Support may include childcare, travel nannying, travel preparation and planning, household management, professional organizing, personal assistance, errands, research, scheduling, and home projects. I’m especially interested in flexible, hybrid opportunities that allow me to support multiple clients through project-based sessions, temporary assignments, travel, occasional care, or recurring support. I’m also open to the right long-term hybrid position. Rather than fitting every client into the same role, I meet you where you are. Sometimes you need a nanny. Sometimes you need an organizer, house manager, personal assistant, or travel support. Sometimes you need a little of everything—and that’s where lifestyle management comes in. Talk soon!

Octavia helped us while we were in Houston for a wedding. She was absolutely fantastic! Came to our hotel with age-appropriate toys and a fun and positive attitude. We felt so comfortable leaving our kiddos in her care. Highly recommend! Hope to use her again as a travel nanny some day!

Malia R., Nanny in South Houston, TX 77587 with 15 years of paid experience

Warm, Nurturing Infant & Toddler Nanny | 15+ Years I’m a dedicated childcare provider with 15+ years of hands-on experience supporting families with infants, toddlers, and school-aged children—including multi-child households and children with autism and sensory needs. My specialty is the newborn-to-toddler stage, where consistency, emotional safety, and attentive care matter most. I’ve supported babies from as young as a few weeks old, helping establish feeding routines, sleep rhythms, and calm, structured days that support healthy development—for both the child and the parents. What sets me apart is my naturally nurturing, hands-on approach. I’m deeply engaged with the children I care for—whether that’s: . Singing and talking throughout the day to support language development . Creating calm, structured routines that help children feel secure . Getting on the floor to play, explore, and connect . Taking children on walks and outdoor time to engage with the world around them I’m not a passive caregiver. I’m present, warm, and intentional. I also bring a strong background in: . Supporting children with autism and sensory sensitivities . Emotional regulation and age-appropriate behavior guidance . Maintaining organized, clean, and smoothly run home environments My experience started early—growing up as the oldest of five (with multiple siblings on the autism spectrum), I naturally stepped into a caregiving role that shaped how I show up today: patient, attentive, and deeply compassionate. Professionally, I’ve worked in both private homes and a preschool setting, where I supported early learning, routines, and developmental milestones including potty training, early education, and social development. Families I work with can expect someone who is: . Reliable and consistent . Warm, affectionate, and engaging . Proactive and detail-oriented . Focused on creating a safe, calm, and loving environment I’m CPR & First Aid certified, have reliable transportation, and am open to long-term roles where I can build strong, trusting relationships with both children and parents.

Elizabeth has been an incredible blessing to our family. She is wonderful with my 16-month-old granddaughter and has such a natural gift for caring for young children. She is patient, loving, dependable, and always attentive to my granddaughter’s needs. From the moment she arrives, she engages her with kindness, play, and encouragement, creating a safe and happy environment where she can learn and grow. My granddaughter absolutely adores her, and it gives me complete peace of mind knowing she is in such capable and caring hands. Elizabeth is professional, trustworthy, and always goes above and beyond. I would recommend her without hesitation to any family looking for someone who truly loves children and treats them as if they were her own. We are so grateful to have her in our lives!

I hired Nicole during the summer of 2025 to care for my 10 year old autistic son both at home and while he attended camp with neurotypical kids. Nicole was great at listening to us about my son’s history and the plethora of techniques that are effective at helping him to focus on activities and engage in a neurotypical environment. She treated him as the amazing, creative boy that he is while still helping him through the social and communicative challenges that he faces with his disability. He was immediately comfortable with Nicole and trusted her to help him through everything from challenging activities at camp to having a nice balance of fun and activities at home. Nicole was superb at keeping a schedule with us and promptly communicating. Nicole was especially good at keep in touch over text during her times with our son about how he was behaving, what challenges he might be facing, and what techniques she might employ to help him cope and Adjust. 10/10 would recommend Nicole to care for kids with or without disabilities.

Yaseen D., Nanny in South Houston, TX 77587 with 4 years of paid experience

Hi! My name is Yaseen, and I’m a responsible and caring babysitter with 5 years of experience working with children of different ages. I currently work in a hospital, which has strengthened my attention to safety, cleanliness, and staying calm in any situation. I am also BLS (Basic Life Support) certified, so parents can feel confident knowing their children are in safe and prepared hands. I enjoy creating a fun, positive environment for kids while also keeping routines on track. I can help with homework, prepare simple meals, organize activities, and keep children engaged with games, crafts, or outdoor play. My goal is to make sure kids feel comfortable, supported, and entertained while their parents are away. Families often describe me as dependable, patient, and attentive. I understand how important trust is when choosing someone to care for your children, and I always treat every child with kindness and respect as if they were my own family.

Yaseen was exceptional! She was able to babysit my two kids at short notice. I have a three month old and a five year-old ,she was able to engage with my five year-old while still handling my three month old. She was on time and polite. She asked meaningfully questions. She provided photos and updates about the kids while I was at work.She did a little light cleaning in the kitchen and living room before she left. I will definitely be using her again!!!

Rachel W., Nanny in South Houston, TX 77587 with 5 years of paid experience

I have been working with children for the majority of my life, beginning with babysitting and moving through to becoming a school instructor. I started private nanny in 2019 and truly love it. I enjoy creating a bond with the families and children I work with. I love working with children and helping families because I like being someone that someone looks up and even depend on when they can’t depend on anyone else.When children love, they love so wholly and without judgement, and it can warm even the coldest of hearts. When a child bestows on you their cherished work of art, wrapping embrace, or loving words, your world gets a whole lot brighter. This is what I love to do and why. I am also cpr and first aid certified , I have references and experience with all ages but mostly ages infants to 10 years old. I have worked as a nanny, babysitter, and teacher so I have experience in all settings as well. I hope I’m a good fit for you and your family!

Saron babysat for me very last minute. She was great with my children, arrived on time and even got my toddler to sleep in his bed (he normally refuses). When I arrived home from my night out, my home was free of the mess my children made. I would book Saron again.
