Olga 1 review
$30 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Elgin, TX

Hi, I’m Olga, go by Camila, 27. Born in Mexico then raised in Texas. I am the youngest of 4 and my older siblings started having kids when I was 12 yrs old, so I’ve been on babysitting duties since then. I have 5 nephews and 2 nieces. My oldest nephew is now 15 and I have been their part time nanny all through out. I have a child like spirit and love to play with and nurture children. I am currently in the job market and have started picking up babysitting shifts in NYC in the meantime. I’m a natural at taking care of kids, I understand their needs, but most importantly how parents want me to care for their little ones. I’m great with bed time routines, naps, activities, etc. I also help out with household needs, cooking, cleaning, errands, etc. I’m also great at maintaining a clean space. Jack of all trades, really whatever you need help with I can jump right in! I’d love to connect and help out! 😊

“Olga is such a natural caregiver. She is so good at making up fun activities for my kids. They love spending time with her! Every time she watches them they are come back exhausted but full of joy. I highly highly recommend Olga for all your child care needs. So grateful to have someone as reliable and natural as her! ”

Anna G 2 reviews
$20 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 2 families in Elgin, TX

Hi! My name is Anna, I am a college student at UT Austin in my junior year of college. I absolutely adore children and I have worked as a babysitter throughout high school and college in various capacities. I have experience with all ages, and have worked as a regular babysitter for a child from age 5 to 9. Along with babysitting, I have worked as a tutor for elementary and middle-school aged children, a soccer coach for toddlers (aged 3 to 5), and a camp counselor for pre-teens. A little about me: I am studying environmental science in college with the goal of eventually going to law school to pursue environmental law. I am originally from Seattle, and come from a family of 3 brothers (1 younger, 2 older) who are my best friends. Some of my interests include yoga, hiking, reading, and music. I am available for a broad-range of work, and am happy to cook and clean as needed. I have reliable transportation, but do not have my own car here in Austin so I am unable to regularly transport kids in my own vehicle.

Estefani $22 per hour for 1 child

I have a lifelong affinity for children, and have focused my career on providing safe and nurturing environments for them. I am currently pursuing a degree in Psychology, with an eventual goal of specializing in Child Psychology. As the oldest sibling of three, I have personally worked with children for many years, and have worked in this field professionally for the last three years. My background focuses on children from 7 months to 11 years of age, and I am particularly skilled with toddlers, as I was an assistant teacher in daycares and provided care for one family's toddler for over a year.

Alec $16 per hour for 1 child

Hello - My name is Alec, I am a graduate from Texas State University with a degree in Exercise sports science with a concentration in Pre - Rehabilitation. Following graduation in 2018, I decided to put off further schooling and have spent the last several years continuing at where I had started to excel before college, in providing value as a swim coach. I have coached for several different swim teams and am a fairly experienced athlete myself, but what I pride myself in is my patience working with all ages and ability levels of whatever I may be teaching, watching over, or even learning(from those who love to share their minds and ideas). I have continued in this path for so long because helping and guiding others where I can appropriately provide guidance or support is genuinely fulfilling to me, and I am more inclined by nature to do so. I have recently stopped coaching and have plans to grow my own private swim lessons during the warm seasons, and during the cold season I am seeking other work opportunities where I can best put my talents, skills, and experiences to good work for others whether coaching, teaching, tutoring, or caregiving.
