Rhonda $20 per hour for 1 child

Greetings! My name is Rhonda, I am a parent and a public school teacher with Arlington ISD. I have 25 years teaching experience, mainly in early childhood education and special education. I have a Master's in Special Education and have experience working with students who have physical, intellectual and emotional disabilities. I have training in trauma-informed parenting and teaching. As a parent and previous nursery worker, I have additional experience caring for children of all ages. I also have experience providing companionship and light physical care to elderly family members. I am also willing to do light tasks around the house and prepare simple meals for those I'm caring for. I love animals, so your pets would also be in good hands with me. I would love the opportunity to meet your family and answer any questions you have about the care I provide.

Anita $30 per hour for 1 child

Lead with love , Serving with purpose. I am grateful to walk in a calling, not just a job. I believe the world becomes better; one tender moment at a time when we lead with compassion, empathy, and love. That is my north star. I’m a technology delivery leader by day and a lifelong servant at heart, I bring the same precision and warmth to a boardroom as I do to a bedtime story. I have cared for little ones who test every boundary (and every snack supply) and for seniors who deserve dignity, laughter, and patient companionship. My service looks like showing up fully, that is, homework help, diaper diplomacy, medication reminders, and the art of making grilled cheese exactly right. I do not just mind your family, I steward them. 😊

$20 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 2 families in Joshua, 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!

Cassandra $20 per hour for 1 child

I have years of experience caring for children. I have raised two beautiful children of my own. I have been a state certified In-home daycare provider in the states of Texas and North Carolina. My most recent certification, in the state of Texas, was 2[removed]. I recently closed my daycare and relocated to the Dallas/Ft. Worth area to be closer to my daughter, who is expecting my second grandchild in January. I will provide references upon request.

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!
