Hi! I’m Carissa Hernandez. I’m 25 years old and was born and raised right here in Austin, Texas. I recently completed my bachelor’s degree at UT Austin and went on to earn my master’s from UNTHSC. While I’m currently in the process of applying to medical school, I’m looking for a part-time babysitting or nanny position to save some money during my gap year. I also previously held a CPR certification and am currently in the process of renewing it. Growing up as the oldest of five siblings (now 20, 18, 16, and 13), I’ve always been surrounded by kids and I’ve learned a lot from helping care for them! I’m familiar with hectic schedules and after-school routines to cleaning, cooking, and homework help. I’m very comfortable juggling the day-to-day needs of a busy household. In addition to caring for my siblings, I’ve babysat for several families in my neighborhood Read more over the years, with children ranging in age from 6 months to 12 years. I started babysitting in high school and continued through college. In addition to caring for my siblings, I’ve babysat for multiple families in my neighborhood over the years, with children ranging in age from 6 months to 12 years. I started babysitting in high school and continued throughout college. I also worked as a tutor at Kumon Math and Reading, where I worked with students in grades K–9 on both math and reading comprehension, helping up to 6 students at a time. I’m responsible, patient, and genuinely enjoy spending time with kids. Whether it’s helping with homework, preparing snacks, or just keeping little ones entertained, I’m here to help. Availability: -Weekdays (daytime & after school) -Select weekends -Open to part-time nanny work (a couple of days a week) or babysitting
