Taylor $15 per hour for 1 child

I began working with infants, toddlers, and children at the age of 15 for a MDO program, I eventually became a nanny and worked at Texas lions camp with special needs children. I love being there to support individuality, independence, and creativity. My senior care experience comes from the 2 years I helped care for my great grandmother after her Alzheimer’s diagnosis when I was 14. My specialty as far as care is working with children with autism. I also have extensive experience with various disabilities after working at Texas lions camp doing 24/7 care for a summer. I was a live in nanny for a school age boy for 2 years. I worked as a nanny for 3 school age kids (ages 6-14) for a year. As a nanny I was responsible for school pick-ups, meal prep, errands, as well as general childcare.

Savannah $15 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Barker, TX

Greetings! My name is Savannah and I’m currently a sophomore at the University of Kansas. I’m available for babysitting, pet, and household services. I completed a three year child-care course and am CPR certified. I started babysitting 7 years ago, and have dealt with children of all ages. Normally, I opt for playing games with children which encourage the use of creativity and imagination. Simultaneously, I have experience in tutoring, so I can help with homework if required. I am an emphatic dog lover, and have volunteered at the SPCA regularly for nearly two years. I’ve handled many creatures, big and small, over this time, therefore I am confident in my abilities to care for any dog. If you feel you need a hand in a cluttered house, I would be happy to lend you one. At times life can get messy, and our living spaces can as well. I am here to help make your life a little easier, and not to judge, so I assure you that there is no need to feel ashamed of whatever condition your house is in. If you are lacking certain cleaning supplies then I will bring them myself. If you feel that I may be fit to fulfill any of your needs, or have any additional inquiries, please do not hesitate to contact me! Thank you for your time, and have a lovely day :)

Hi, my name is Ariel and I’m currently a substitute teacher for K-12 graders. I am offering childcare and household service. I love being a babysitter! I have been watching newborns, infants, toddlers, including twins since I was 14 years old. My responsibilities have been to feed, cloth, tutor and help with sports. I enjoy completing household chores on my spare time. I like to be very organized. I prefer not to cook, but I can drive to and from doctor appointments, school or etc. I am allergic to cats but happy to work with families with dogs that aren’t aggressive.

Debanhi 1 review
$20 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Barker, TX

Hi! My name is Debanhi, and I’m a 24-year-old college student with over 7 years of childcare experience. I have worked with children of all ages, from newborns to school-aged children, through full-time nanny positions, part-time care, and occasional babysitting. I have an Associate degree in Childhood Development and I’m currently continuing my education while working with families. I truly love working with children and enjoy creating a safe, fun, and nurturing environment where they can learn, explore, and grow. I love doing hands-on activities such as arts and crafts, reading, puzzles, outdoor play, and encouraging creativity. I believe every child is unique, and I always take the time to understand their personality, routines, and individual needs. I am happy to follow each family’s preferences, whether that includes a structured schedule, limited screen time, or lots of interactive activities. I just recently opened my account on UrbanSitter, so I don’t have any reviews on my profile yet. However, I’ve worked with great families and would be more than happy to provide those references. I would love the opportunity to become someone your family can trust and a positive part of your child’s life!

“Debanhi was great with my two little girls. She sent pictures throughout the morning of them playing in the park, took them to lunch and played with them. My oldest is already asking when she can come back to watch them again. We will call her for sure!”
