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.

Hi my names Aaniyah. I’m currently pursuing my degree in nursing, and I’m certified in CPR/AED. Im bilingual (english/spanish) and have hands-on experience caring for babies, kids, and pets. I’m also happy to help with light housework when needed. Caring for others has always been a passion of mine, which is why I’ve chosen a career path in nursing. I also love being able to teach and inspire kids. Growing up, I developed a true love for learning, and I’d love to share that by helping children explore new things, encouraging curiosity, and even taking them on fun little adventures. My goal is to not only provide safe care but also create positive, engaging experiences for the kids I work with.

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.
