Danielle $16 per hour for 1 child

My name is Daniela, I just moved to Arlington Tx from California. I have two sons of my own still in elementary. I have worked with seniors in an office setting for about 9 years fulltime. Occasionally I help on the floor as needed with caregiving. Currently I’ve have been missing the baby stages and was hoping I could fill my weekends with lending a hand to families. My availability is Friday night, Saturday and Sundays. I believe I have nurturing qualities and will to try and make a difference when I’m around. I’m reliable, punctual alongside flexible. I hope to bring peace of mind, trust, and relief when being around. Thanks!

Booked by 1 family in Grand Prairie, TX

I am a 23 year old college graduate currently working full-time at a Title/Law Firm. Previously, I worked as a tutor at The Confidence Group in Dallas, TX, from February 2023 to May 2024, where I supported 3rd–8th grade students in Dallas ISD through personalized lesson plans, including specialized assistance for students with special needs. From June 2017 to May 2020, I served as a Youth Golf Instructor at The First Tee in El Paso, TX, teaching children golf skills and incorporating the organization’s Core Values, such as Integrity, Sportsmanship, Courtesy, Respect, etc. Eventually I was given the responsibility of helping to plan and lead sessions for different age groups within the program, but mainly focusing on the 3-5 year old and 7-8 year old age groups. In high school, I was in a STEM program that specialized in health care/medical fields which allowed me to work hospital rotations where I gained experience in basic levels of caregiving and crisis management. Additionally, I volunteered at the Ronald McDonald House Charities, providing support to families and participating in social service efforts. For the past three years, I have babysat for one family, assisting their child with schoolwork, and for the past four years, I have provided pet sitting services—mainly for dogs—for multiple families. I am also certified in CPR and First Aid.

Booked by 2 families in Grand Prairie, TX

I have worked with children for 20 years as an educator in and out of the classroom. I have worked with families providing childcare for 10 years. I am patient, kind and nurturing. I’m interested in what the kids are interested in doing. This ranges from legos to drawing and anywhere in between. I have worked with children aged from infant to 12 years old. I’m CPR and first aid certified. I take pride in giving parents time off knowing their little ones are well cared for.

“Tamara came through in a pinch; she was punctual, polite, and great with the kids!”
