Maureen $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi I'm Mo! I've been taking care of kids throughout my entire life. Being the 5th out of 17 grandkids on my dad's side and coming from a big family there were always babies and little kids around. I grew up on Long Island in NY, went to school and lived in Boston for 9 years and then had a 10 year adventure overseas in Australia. I've been back in the States and living in Austin since 2017. I had a long term part time nanny position in Australia for 2 children that lasted almost 8 years on and off. This included full time care for the children when their mother travelled including school drop off/pickup, meals, homework, extra curricular activities, household management, bath and bed time. I have had 3 nanny positions over the past few years for newborns. I have been teaching Pre-K for the last 2 1/2 years. We have 9-12 kids on any given day in the age range of 18 months-5 years old. I have also been pet sitting and house sitting for over 20 years on a regular basis. I'm currently finishing a nanny position for a wonderful family. I started taking care of their daughter last October 2025 when she was 1.5 months old. She will be going into full time daycare mid August, so I am looking for my next family to care for!

Julie $25 per hour for 1 child

With over a decade of experience in caregiving, I have honed my skills and passion for providing exceptional care to individuals of all ages. My extensive background includes babysitting for a wide age range, from infants to 13-year-olds, in local neighborhoods. As a devoted Sunday School teacher for five years at Friendship Church, I've not only imparted knowledge but also fostered a safe and nurturing environment for young minds. Through mentoring and teaching toddlers, I diligently followed safety protocols and health guidelines, ensuring their well-being at all times. Moreover, my role as a medical attendant for a student with cerebral palsy has equipped me with the expertise to administer medications and offer comprehensive day-to-day assistance. My dedication to ensuring the safety and comfort of both children and animals is unwavering, as demonstrated through my experience in caring for dogs and cats. I am committed to creating an environment where children and animals can thrive, emphasizing their safety and individuality. My commitment to continuous learning is evident through my completion of children safety courses at Texas A&M Agrilife. These courses cover critical topics such as SIDS prevention, food allergy management, infection control, medication administration, and safety guidelines. Above all, my love for children, respect for their development and education, and my inherent sense of responsibility make me a dedicated and compassionate caregiver.
