Tara $17 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m Tara, and I offer child care, pet care, and household services. I’ve been caring for children since I was 14 and have experience both in the home and in the classroom. I spent one year as a full-time teacher for grades 3–6 and two years as a substitute teacher. I’ve also worked as a nanny for several families with school-aged children, including multiple summers during college and two years caring for children ages 5–10. As a nanny and sitter, I’ve helped with much more than child care. I’ve prepared breakfast, lunch, and dinner, driven children to activities, helped with homework, done laundry, made beds, grocery shopped, unloaded the dishwasher, and kept things picked up throughout the day. I’ve also helped families organize pantries and children’s play areas. I’m very comfortable pitching in with the everyday household tasks that make life a little easier. I’m also a huge animal lover and an experienced veterinary technician. I’m comfortable with dogs and cats of all sizes and have experience with pet sitting, dog walking, feeding, medications, and pets with medical needs. I can also administer medications and injections, including insulin for diabetic dogs. I’m dependable, organized, patient, and easygoing, and I genuinely enjoy caring for both children and animals. I know how important it is to feel comfortable with the person you’re trusting in your home, and I want families to know their children, pets, and home are in capable and caring hands.

Ersh $15 per hour for 1 child

Hi there! My name is Ersh and I am a Houston native born and raised. I currently work full time at an eye clinic here in the River Oaks area. I received my undergraduate from Avila University (Kansas City) in Biology in 2020. I love being a baby sitter and helping those in need. I have experience in working with newborns, infants, toddlers, and young teens. My responsibilities in the past have included cooking, cleaning, helping with homework, crafts, activities, taking kids from afterschool activities, and taking them to parks and recreational centers. I have been a care taker of my own siblings, cousins, and friends kids in the past and am very confident and comfortable with all age groups. I have taught Sunday school at a church when I was living in Kansas City for my undergrad. I do have experience with elderly care as I have lived with my elderly grandparents for a couple years in Kansas City while attending and finishing my undergrad. I love both cats and dogs and have had experience taking care of pets as I am a cat and dog owner myself!

Juanita $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I'm Juanita, a dependable, compassionate, and organized caregiver with over 28 years of professional experience in customer service, education, administration, and childcare. Although I work full-time in accounting, caring for children and supporting families has always been a passion of mine. I began babysitting early in adulthood and have experience in daycare centers, charter schools, private childcare, and as a teacher aide, caring for children from infancy through high school. I enjoy creating a safe, nurturing, and fun environment where children can learn, grow, and thrive. I can assist with homework, meal preparation, age-appropriate activities, bedtime routines, transportation, and light childcare-related housekeeping. I am bilingual in English and Spanish and am seeking part-time evening and weekend opportunities as a babysitter, nanny, or family assistant. My goal is to become a trusted, reliable extension of your family, providing dependable care and giving parents peace of mind.
