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!
“Genaé is playful and active. I loved how she sings rhyme to my baby and plays with her. My baby seems very happy with her.”
I am a mother of four (kids range from 9 to 19 in our house) and I've worked for the last 8 years as a postpartum doula supporting babies and mothers as the family expands and transforms.
I myself am a new mom! After years in corporate business I was laid off and turned to nannying for part time income during my transition. During that time I fell in love with nannying and it inspired me to start my own family. Now as I look into getting back into some part time work I would love to continue to help families. In addition to my passion for childcare,I am an active volunteer with Austin Angels providing caregiver support to foster children. I am CPR and First Aid certified for adults, children, and infants. I am also a certified Respite Caregiver with the State of Texas. I have completed trainings and a federal background check through the Department of Child Services. You can trust I will prioritize your child's safety and care. I am friendly, outgoing, and kind. I am gentle and playful in my interactions with all little ones. I love animals and also have 2 dogs that I care for. I've fostered several animals and am comfortable around different breeds and ages. I am trustworthy, helpful, and flexible with my ability to help your family.
“Rebecca took great care of our 3-month old! She communicates well and is on time.”
Hi there! My name is Maddie, and I'm a UT grad living in Austin, TX. I'm a certified English teacher, but have left the field to go back to school for design, leaving my schedule open to help your family! Although I'm not currently teaching, I have an extensive history working with kids to foster their creativity, kindness, empathy, and communication. I love sharing museums, parks, arts & crafts, swimming, writing, hiking, reading/library visits, and music with kids, and I'm comfortable and confident safely driving, cooking, and light cleaning. I'm also a dog mom and have experience assisting with any pet needs while you are away. I'm looking for occasional or part-time jobs in the Austin area and can be flexible with time. Please message me with any questions, I look forward to helping you and your family!

"UrbanSitter has supported my needs for reliable and joyful sitters. Whether it be for work, recreation or last-minute emergencies, we've made wonderful relationships with local sitters who have become a part of our family!"
Natalie O., mom of five

"UrbanSitter is my go-to for quality sitters! I can book weeks ahead of time or easily find a same-day sitter when in a bind. I even hired a part-time nanny during a daycare transition. Customer service is helpful and babysitters respond in a timely manner."
