Hi! I’m a college junior (Texas Christian University, Neeley School of Business) currently home for the summer working part-time at a law office. I’m available several afternoons, and most evenings and weekends—and I’d love to help with babysitting, tutoring, pet sitting, dog walking, or running errands. I’m a reliable, nurturing, and outgoing person who truly enjoys spending time with kids and animals. I have strong communication skills and take pride in being someone families can count on. I’m very active and love being outdoors, whether that means playing games with kids, going on walks, or keeping pets engaged and happy. I have a car so I’m flexible and dependable when it comes to getting where I need to be. I have 6 years of experience and am happy to provide references upon request. Looking forward to connecting soon!

Hi - My name is Sterling, and I'm currently a student at Canada College. I am offering child care. I am good with kids, but usually babysit my aunts three kids, ages 3, 7, and 10, as well as help with their puppy. However, I've babysat kids in my family and around my neighborhood on and off since I was 16. I can also work as a household assistant and can cook, clean, and run errands. I am comfortable with animals in general, as I have two cats of my own; however, I am afraid of bigger dogs ( especially if they slobber a lot), spiders, and reptiles.
Hi! It’s a pleasure to meet you. My name is Ana, I’m 26 years old, and I have over 8 years of experience caring for children of all ages. For the past 3 years, I’ve been working in a preschool while completing my studies to become an early childhood educator. Working with children is truly my passion. I love supporting their growth, teaching through play, and creating a warm, loving, and safe environment where they can thrive. I’m patient, kind, and always attentive to each child’s individual needs. If you’re looking for someone caring, reliable, and dedicated to your child’s development, I’d love the opportunity to connect with you!
“I am the director of the preschool where Ana is employed. She has been a teacher in our infant classroom, working with children aged 6 to 18 months, for nearly two years. Throughout her time with us, Ana has consistently demonstrated exceptional care and dedication. She has a warm, playful nature that the infants respond to with joy, and she has a remarkable ability to make them laugh and feel at ease. Ana is also highly attentive, often the first to notice if a child is unwell or if something seems off. She is a dependable and hardworking member of our team, always willing to step in and support wherever needed — whether that's assisting in other classrooms or helping prepare meals. Ana’s kind and nurturing personality, combined with her strong work ethic, make her an valuable part of our staff and a truly outstanding teacher.”
