Hi there! I'm Derry, a dedicated and fun-loving babysitter/nanny with over 18 years of experience working with kids of all ages, including groups of up to 6 children at a time! As a CPR, First Aid, and AED certified professional, I prioritize your little ones' safety above all. With a background working at Children's Courtyard and currently at a daycare, I've honed my skills in creating engaging activities, arts, and crafts that kids adore. Movie nights with popcorn are a favorite of mine, too! Music and dance are passions of mine, and I love sharing them with the kiddos. When I'm not working, I'm spending time with my family and my furry baby. I'm available for date nights, short-term jobs, and offer references upon request. Let's create some unforgettable memories together! Contact me to schedule your next babysitting adventure!

“Our daughter had a great time with Derry. Will hire again.”

I haven't been babysitting for long. I enjoy kids, I have fun playing games with them. I'm a kind person with a bubbly personality. I enjoy, singing, dancing, music, and theatre. Helping with childcare at my church was also a lot of fun.

Skylar $15 per hour for 1 child

I’m Skylar, and I am a senior nursing student at TCU. I am offering child care, dog sitting, and senior services. I love being a babysitter and have experience babysitting with ages 3-6 since I was 15. During the summer, I work as a camp counselor for ages 8-12 and I love caring for kids! I have planned activities, cooked, ran errands, driven to and from school, and made crafts! I have three dogs at home, so I have experience with dog sitting for the past 10 years. I love all animals and would love to care for any! I am a nursing student, so I have two years of experience of senior care. I love caring for seniors and am very comfortable with senior care.
