Jada $22 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Jada, and I am 28 years old. I have many years of experience caring for children and a genuine passion for helping families. Before becoming a stay-at-home mom, I worked full-time in a preschool/daycare setting for 3 years, where I cared for children ranging from newborns to toddlers. I am currently a stay-at-home mom to my two sons, ages 6 years old and 14 months old. My days are filled with providing a safe, nurturing, and structured environment for them, including caring for my youngest at home and taking my oldest to and from school. Being a mother has strengthened my patience, understanding, and ability to meet the unique needs of children at different developmental stages. I would love the opportunity to bring that same level of care, love, and reliability to your family. I understand how important it is to find someone trustworthy and dependable to help with your children, and I would be honored to provide support while ensuring they feel safe, happy, and well cared for.

Elizabeth $15 per hour for 1 child

My name is Elizabeth, and I am a Senior at the University of Mary Hardin–Baylor, pursuing a degree in Early Childhood Education. I plan to graduate in May 2026 and aspire to teach at the elementary level, as I truly enjoy working with young learners and helping them grow academically and emotionally. I’ve had several wonderful opportunities to work with children. For the past two summers, I worked at a daycare, where I cared for children ranging in age from infants to six years old. In addition, I love spending time with my two-year-old niece and nine-year-old nephew, which has further strengthened my nurturing and patient nature. I take pride in being patient, kind, punctual, and an effective communicator—qualities I believe are essential in creating a positive and supportive learning environment for children.
