Pervin $14 per hour for 1 child

I was caregiver to Roberta Newton for two plus years.Renal failure and Cancer diagnosis. I am Patient and Understanding as well as empathetic. I have children of my own one of whom presently reside with me.. My mother died of Cancer also and not having the money me and my sister had to care for her until her passing. That was my first experience...three months until she left this place. Have had many dogs in my lifetime and know their habits and behaviors pretty well. Roberta required full live in care services so I got very knowledgeable of proper care and needs to be aware of as well as how to deescalate and or give space as needed... making sure all appointments were kept and medication picked up and administered accordingly. Hygiene upkeep, freshly made beds, washing linens regularly etc.

Courtney $16 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m Courtney, a dedicated, nurturing caregiver with over 18 years of hands-on experience working with children of alI ages! I have 16 years (and counting ) in the school district, 9 years in a school clinic, and 2 years in a daycare caring for newborns through age five. I’ve spent most of my life helping kids learn, grow, feel better, and feel safe—sometimes all in the same hour😂 I’m calm under pressure, great with routines, and genuinely enjoy the little quirks that make each child their own tiny universe. Whether it’s soothing a fussy baby, guiding a busy toddler, or supporting a school-age kid through homework and big feelings, I bring patience, humor, and reliability with me. If you’re looking for a caregiver who’s experienced, warm, and truly loves working with children, I’d love to be part of your family’s village.☺️

Beatrice $20 per hour for 1 child

I have been babysitting and working with children, in general, for over 10yrs. I've taken care of infants, toddlers and older ones. I also have teaching experience, motherhood experience so my nurturing for children is wholesome. I have studied child laws, disability laws but most importantly, I look at children as gifts from above. I treasure every moment I spend with a child, be it my own child or another person's child. To me, it's not a job but a ministry.

Tiarra $16 per hour for 1 child

Hi families! My name is Tiarra, and I am a dedicated care professional looking to provide premium, reliable childcare and specialized behavioral support on weekends. I offer a unique blend of extensive practical experience, combining 20 years of informal childcare for family and friends with 15 years of professional, paid caregiving. Currently, I work full-time as a Qualified Mental Health Professional (QMHP) in the Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities (IDD) field. My professional background also includes serving as an HHSC Service Coordinator and a CPS Investigator for the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services. Additionally, I am an active Master of Health Administration (MHA) candidate, which drives my strict commitment to the absolute highest standards of safety, structure, and administrative organization. Because of my background, I specialize in providing exceptional care for families with neurodivergent or special needs children (including autism and ADHD). However, I am equally skilled at managing busy, fast-paced, multi-child households. I focus on creating a warm, encouraging environment where children learn self-regulation and independence through structured play, arts, and sensory activities. I am a strict non-smoker, fully CPR/First Aid certified, and drive my own reliable vehicle. I love pets and am happy to assist with light housekeeping or meal preparation to keep your home running smoothly. I look forward to giving you 100% peace of mind during your time away!
