Booked by 20 families in Arlington, TX

Hello I’m Amber, a mom of 2, and I have a lot of experience working with kids 6wks-teens as a former director/owner/ educator of a licensed daycare home for over 7 years. I chose a different career path after covid but I really love kids in my core. Over the past 27yrs, I have also worked at recreation centers, 24-hr daycares, non-profits for daycare accreditation, Head Start & ECI (Early Childhood Intervention) I understand different parenting styles, living arrangements, so there's no judgement, just quality care, and the need to go with the flow of life. I'm a basketball mom as well so I figured I give this a shot too lol. I have some free time to play outside of my current part-time position and would love to help you parents out.

Amber was wonderful with my son. She adapted to him very quickly and remained attentive to his needs. Before I left, she encouraged him to come out of his bedroom and play in the living room so they could become more comfortable with each other. He slept through most of the night, and when he briefly woke up, she changed his diaper and helped him settle right back to sleep without any issues. I appreciated how calmly and independently she handled everything, and I felt comfortable knowing my son was in good hands. I would definitely book her again.

I grew up from a big family of 11. I helped my Mom raise and care my siblings. As they grew up I also help care for my nieces and nephews. Kids and Pets usually get along with me as I am a vibrant, nurturing and patient person. I love to sew, cook, dance and craft.

Khoua arrived on time, listened to all my instructions and played with my son throughout the whole time.

Hi! My name is Marcela, and I have nearly 3 years of childcare experience as an Au Pair and nanny in the United States. I have cared for children of different ages, helping with school drop-offs and pick-ups, homework, meal preparation, after-school activities, and creating a safe, fun, and positive environment. I am responsible, patient, organized, and caring. I enjoy encouraging children to be active, creative, and confident. I also have experience caring for pets, including dogs and cats, and I am comfortable assisting with light household tasks. I have a valid driver’s license and experience safely driving children to school, sports practices, camps, and other activities. I am bilingual in Spanish and English, which allows me to communicate effectively with families from diverse backgrounds and even help children learn a second language if desired. Families describe me as trustworthy, dependable, and attentive. My goal is to provide a safe, nurturing, and supportive environment where children can learn, grow, and feel happy every day.

punctual and very friendly. Would love to have Marcela come again
