Lizbeth $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m Lizbeth. I have over two years of experience as a Medical Assistant in a pediatric clinic and I’m BLS certified. I currently also work as a Patient Care Technician at a hospital here in Austin, and I’ll be starting school for Surgical Technology soon. Caring for others is truly what I do every day. In pediatrics, I work closely with infants, toddlers, and children of all ages — helping them feel safe, calm, and comfortable. My medical background has trained me to be very attentive, patient, and quick to recognize when a child needs extra support or care. I’m happy to help with: • infant and toddler care • diaper changes and feedings • bedtime routines • meals and snacks • playtime, reading, and homework help • keeping things tidy after activities I’m calm, responsible, and very respectful of your home and your child’s routine. My goal is always for kids to feel comfortable and for parents to feel completely at peace while they’re away. I’m a great fit for: • date nights • evenings after school/daycare • weekend babysitting • families with infants or toddlers • last-minute bookings If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, experienced with children, and medically trained, I’d love to help your family!

Hi! I’m Erica, a UT Austin graduate with a degree in education and over six years of babysitting experience. I taught for a year and now work in educational technology sales, where I continue supporting educators and teachers. My experience includes three years in an after-school program, working with children from Pre-K through sixth grade. I also serve in my church’s student ministry with middle and high school students and occasionally help with infants through fifth grade. I enjoy helping with homework, planning fun art activities, and getting to know each child’s interests. My goal is to create a safe, caring, and engaging environment where kids feel comfortable and parents feel confident leaving them in my care. I’d love to connect and learn more about your family!
