Skylar $15 per hour for 1 child

I’m Skylar, and I am a senior nursing student at TCU. I am offering child care, dog sitting, and senior services. I love being a babysitter and have experience babysitting with ages 3-6 since I was 15. During the summer, I work as a camp counselor for ages 8-12 and I love caring for kids! I have planned activities, cooked, ran errands, driven to and from school, and made crafts! I have three dogs at home, so I have experience with dog sitting for the past 10 years. I love all animals and would love to care for any! I am a nursing student, so I have two years of experience of senior care. I love caring for seniors and am very comfortable with senior care.

Mikayla $20 per hour for 1 child

At 18 years old, I bring a genuine passion for helping others that truly drives me every day. Seeing people happy makes me happy, and I take great pride in creating a positive and supportive environment for those I care for. I am skilled at cooking nutritious, delicious meals, ensuring their well-being is always a priority. My experience is extensive—I have been working with children since I was very young, having raised four kids and babysat overnight and for extended periods. I treat every child with the same compassion, trust, and respect I would give my own family. My outgoing personality allows me to connect easily, while my patience and gentleness create a safe, nurturing space. At the same time, I am firm and confident enough to maintain boundaries and ensure everyone’s best interests are protected. This balance makes me a reliable and caring caregiver.

Paige $20 per hour for 1 child

I am a 23 year old college graduate currently working full-time at a Title/Law Firm. Previously, I worked as a tutor at The Confidence Group in Dallas, TX, from February 2023 to May 2024, where I supported 3rd–8th grade students in Dallas ISD through personalized lesson plans, including specialized assistance for students with special needs. From June 2017 to May 2020, I served as a Youth Golf Instructor at The First Tee in El Paso, TX, teaching children golf skills and incorporating the organization’s Core Values, such as Integrity, Sportsmanship, Courtesy, Respect, etc. Eventually I was given the responsibility of helping to plan and lead sessions for different age groups within the program, but mainly focusing on the 3-5 year old and 7-8 year old age groups. In high school, I was in a STEM program that specialized in health care/medical fields which allowed me to work hospital rotations where I gained experience in basic levels of caregiving and crisis management. Additionally, I volunteered at the Ronald McDonald House Charities, providing support to families and participating in social service efforts. For the past three years, I have babysat for one family, assisting their child with schoolwork, and for the past four years, I have provided pet sitting services—mainly for dogs—for multiple families. I am also certified in CPR and First Aid.

Ava $17 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Ava Marie. I’ll be attending UTA in the fall. I have worked in the service industry, and I’m transitioning into childcare because I love teaching kids to be creative and free in spirit! When it comes to my experience, I have helped raise my younger twin sisters my entire life. I love being playful, spending time outdoors, and being active! I am naturally a silly person that loves being around children because they are youthful and easy to inspire! I am a phenomenal role model for kids to look up to! I would love to work as a teacher in Spain or in Costa Rica! I admire the gentle parenting approach, and would love to gain some insightful parenting skills from working in different family dynamics. I am currently looking for part time work, and have flexible availability. Please let me know if you have any questions!
