Booked by 30 families in Dripping Springs, TX

Hello! My name is Raquel. I have experience working for families with three and one child, between seven months and four years. I love working with kids and I am very patient and sweet with them. I enjoy playing and performing indoor and outdoor activities. I am a Spanish speaker, so that I can teach them. I also have experience working with Seniors with Dementia, and I consider myself a loving caregiver. I have experience preparing light meals, feeding them, doing outdoor activities such as walking around the park and neighborhood, and administering medication according to the doctor's prescription. I enjoy nature (parks and rivers), and I like to listen to music and dance. I am a respectful and trustworthy person.

“Raquel was fantastic with my two toddlers! She was on time, engaged, energetic, and cleaned up after kiddos activities. I would not hesitate recommending Raquel to other parents!”

Booked by 33 families in Dripping Springs, TX

Hi there! I’m a responsible, caring sitter with experience babysitting throughout college and a genuine love for working with kids. I hold an undergraduate degree in elementary education and originally began my career in teaching, but made a career shift about 5 years ago and transitioned into the corporate world. I currently work full-time, but I’m available for date nights, evenings, and weekends and do my best to be flexible when I can. My background in education gives me a strong foundation in child development, structure, and engagement—whether that’s helping with homework, creating fun activities, or supporting consistent routines. Parents can count on me to be reliable, punctual, and communicative, and I always aim to create a safe, fun, and positive environment for kids. I’m excited to reconnect with babysitting families and provide trustworthy care whenever you need an extra set of hands!
