Hi there! I’m an undergraduate student at UT Austin studying Nutritional Sciences with a passion for working with children of all backgrounds and abilities. Having a twin with special needs has given me firsthand experience and deep understanding of the unique care and attention that children with special needs require. For the past five years, I’ve served as a leader, counselor, and caretaker for children ages 4-16, which has given me extensive experience managing different age groups and personalities. I also have significant experience caretaking for infants. My degree has provided me with vast knowledge on behaviors, feeding patterns, and developmental milestones of infants, giving me unique insight into proper infant care. As a pre-med student, I have clinical experience and medical skills that enhance my caregiving abilities. I’m trained to take vitals, use a glucometer, and provide basic medical assistance when needed. While I’m not a doctor, my pre-medical studies have given me a solid foundation in health monitoring and emergency response, making me comfortable caring for children with medical conditions or seniors requiring additional health support. My background in nutrition allows me to prepare healthy, delicious meals and snacks that kids actually enjoy, and I love involving them in cooking and baking activities that are both fun and educational. I’m also available for tutoring and homework help! I can assist with any subject for middle school and under, and I specialize in science tutoring for high school students. Whether it’s nightly reading sessions or tackling challenging assignments, I’m here to support academic success. I’m bilingual in English and Spanish and would be happy to create a Spanish immersion environment for your children if interested. I understand how valuable early language exposure can be! I have a reliable car and travel between Houston and Austin in the summer. During school, I live in central Austin, so I’m flexible with location and can easily handle pickup and drop-off duties. I’m particularly available for weekend and late-night sitting when you need it most. What sets me apart is my combination of personal experience with special needs care, professional childcare background, nutrition expertise, medical training, academic support skills, and genuine enthusiasm for helping children learn, grow, and have fun in a safe environment. I’d love to meet your family and discuss how I can support your needs!

In addition to childcare, I’m happy to provide pet care and have experience caring for dogs of different sizes and breeds. I am an experienced Rover sitter and dog owner and am comfortable taking them on walks or hanging out with them in your home. I’m also available to assist with senior care including meal preparation, errands, light housekeeping, and transportation to appointments. My goal is to create a safe, positive environment where children, pets, and older adults feel comfortable, supported, and cared for. I look forward to getting to know your family!

Hello, my name is Cinthia! I am currently a Ph.D. student in School Psychology at the University of Texas at Austin. I have a Masters degree in School Psychology from UT and a Bachelors of Arts in Psychology with minors in Education Studies and Applied Developmental Psychology from UCLA. I worked at a childcare center at UCLA with infants and toddlers for 3 years. I currently work at a community mental health clinic providing therapy to children, teens, and families. I also provide services as several elementary schools and community organizations around Austin. I love interacting, working and learning from children of all ages.

Hi! My name is Audrey, and I’m an experienced nanny and certified public school teacher with over 10 years of experience working with children in private homes and schools. I worked as a nanny while earning a B.A. in French Language and Literature in Philadelphia and again during an M.Ed program in Austin. For the last three years, I’ve worked as a French teacher both for elementary and high school students. I’m now nannying again, as well as tutoring in French. I am seeking a stable (< 30 hrs/week) nannying position, as well as occasional work, where I can become a reliable, supportive presence in a family’s life. My favorite part of this job is bonding with kids and their families. I am still in touch with many of the families I’ve worked with and really value those connections! I speak French and have lived and studied in France twice, so I would love to work with a francophone family.

Hi all! My name is Kayla, and I’m 19 years old. I go to UT Austin and am studying Education.

I love playing games, going on walks outside, cooking/baking with the kiddos, and much more! I currently do not have a car, so unfortunately I’m unable to drive kiddos to and from activities, if that’s what you’re looking for. But, I am willing to entertain and watch your kiddos, cook meals, put them to bed, etc. I can’t wait to meet new families!
