I'm a very patient, kind and loving person. I can definitely say I do get attached to my kids/families I’ve to worked with. I’m a big outdoors person. Love being active and go out with the kiddos, to playgrounds & libraries for example. I’ve been a nanny/babysitting for almost 8 years now and I have been a supportive teacher in the past as well. I have experience with kids from 4 months on till up to 12/13 years old. One of my longest experiences as a nanny was working with 2 boys for 3 years - which the youngest is a sweet boy that has autism. My most recent experience that’s coming to an end has also been an almost 3 years with them. It started with a 13 month old that is now almost 4. But then he had a baby sister that I started caring for when she was 4 months old and will be turning 2 soon and both will be in school at that point and they won’t be needing me for my full time hours anymore. Which is the only reason we’re ending our work relationship and I’m now looking for a new family to work for.

*pet sitting only* Hi there! I am a 5 star rated pet sitter in the South Austin area, and I love animals! I have cared for my pets and friends/family pets since I was 12 years old. I am a reliable, friendly, and kind animal lover. I understand fully how your pet is a part of your family and should be cared for as such. I look forward to making your life a little easier by checking in on your cat or walking and visiting with your dog. I am happy to watch animals in my home or happy to watch them in their home. I have recently moved to South Austin, but I am not against still watching pets up north 🙂 Please feel free to reach out with any questions you may have. Hope to hear from you soon 😁

Caring for others has been a natural part of my life for as long as I can remember. As the oldest of three siblings, I learned early on how to nurture, support, and create a sense of safety for them. That instinct only deepened as I raised my two daughters, help care for my three grandsons, and spend over eight years working in a childcare environment. Several families have personally entrusted me with their child outside the childcare environment. I am currently a preschool teacher, and I truly enjoy going to work each day. Supporting children as they learn, grow, and express themselves is something I genuinely love. I have also had the privilege of caring for my mother during her journey with early-onset Alzheimer’s. That experience strengthened my patience, compassion, and ability to show up with steadiness during difficult seasons. Whether caring for children, seniors, or pets (I’ve never met one I didn’t connect with)! I bring warmth, reliability, and heartfelt attention to every family I work with. I would be honored to provide thoughtful, personal care whenever it’s needed.

I retired 6 years ago and moved to Austin after living in Dallas for 35 years. I raised 4 kids, 3 and under while working full time and maintaining my sanity ;-) My kids are all grown and now I have two grandkids 4 and 10 months here that I help out with when needed. My 4 year old grandson spends the night with me and is always asking to come over to my place. I also tutor math at one of the middle schools. I have hosted 9 international exchange students for a year of high school and still involved in the program though I don’t host any longer. I speak passable Spanish as well. I learned when raising my family how to be flexible, organized, creative and loving. I like to have fun and interact with my grandkids. We don’t watch a lot of television but instead play age appropriate games that are fun and interactive. I can bring the same fun, loving experience to you.

Hello Families! My name is Genae, and I'm a professional caregiver with a passion for early childhood development. I recently relocated to Austin and am excited to bring my experience and love for children to your family. I believe it takes a village to raise a child, and I am committed to being a reliable, supportive, and nurturing part of that village for both you and your little one. I have a strong sense of empathy and integrity, and I am meticulous when it comes to a child’s safety and well-being. My caregiving philosophy is rooted in active engagement and emotional connection. Rather than simply watching over a child, I love to interact with them, play, read, and engage them in activities that promote learning and growth every single day. I have an extensive background in early childhood education, with over four years of professional experience as an infant teacher at Naval Childhood Development Centers in both Guam and Jacksonville, Florida. In my role, I was formally educated and certified through the military’s comprehensive Virtual Lab School (VLS) curriculum, which provided in-depth understanding of early childhood best practices. While my specialty is in infant care, my professional experience also includes working with toddlers and preschoolers. My skills cover all aspects of daily care, including creating and documenting curriculum and lesson plans, and providing nurturing support through enrichment activities. I prioritize safety protocols and hygiene practices such as proper bottle and food preparation, sanitation, and diapering. My safety training also includes a previous CPR certification, which I am in the process of renewing. A firm believer in open communication, I regularly held meetings with parents to discuss day-to-day development and milestones. Beyond my professional experience, my caregiving extends to being a supportive partner for your entire family. As a pet owner, I have current experience caring for dogs and am happy to assist with their needs, including walks and feedings. I am also comfortable with household services and daily chores, as I pride myself on maintaining an organized and welcoming home. You can also count on me as a safe and reliable driver with insurance, ensuring secure pickups and drop-offs for playdates or activities. Thank you for taking the time to learn a bit about me and what I can bring to your family. I can't wait to meet you guys, looking forward to the opportunity to partner with you!
