Booked by 1 family in Katy, TX

I’m a devoted mother of four and grandmother of four, happiest when I’m surrounded by family — especially my grandkids. As a certified chef from the Art Institute of Houston, I love bringing creativity to the kitchen and sharing good food with the people I love. Outside of cooking, gardening is my peaceful escape, where I enjoy planting, growing, and connecting with nature.

Nosipho $20 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Katy, TX

Hi there ! My name is Nosipho, I am 28 years old and I’m originally from Johannesburg, South Africa. I am offering child care and household services. I love being a babysitter because I have a genuine, pure love for children. I grew up with a single mom who worked tirelessly to give us a life where we had everything that we needed. I could only imagine how much easier her life and our lives would have been if she had an extra pair of helping hands such as an au pair. I believe that every parent deserves a helping hand. I enjoy caring for children as I find it very fulfilling and rewarding to be part of their growth and to help them learn. I have been watching children for as long as I can remember as I am the eldest sibling/cousin/relative. I have provided childcare services for the past 3 years. My responsibilities included daily schedule planning, morning routines, necessary driving, activities and meals during the day and nighttime routines. I am organised, structured, detailed oriented, kind, affectionate and patient. These skills translate well to household services as well. I am also a great cook, I love to read and I am creative. I am allergic to cats but I am happy to work with families with dogs. Looking forward to connecting with you!

Sandra $25 per hour for 1 child

Hello, I am Ms. Doris (or Dee) and I am 29. I am offering childcare, senior care and household services. As a compassionate and attentive caregiver with a strong background in Applied Behavioral Analysis. Hence, I worked with kids on the spectrum (Autism Spectrum Disorder, Asperger's Syndrome...) I have experience working with kids in professional settings and in home babysitting. I have watched kids from different age groups (infants, toddlers...) since I was 15 years old. I can help with homework and tutoring. I enjoy dancing and taking walks outside. I have obtained my bachelor's in psychology from Methodist University in North Carolina. I can help with light Housekeeping, cleaning and cooking. I have a driver's license and a car. I grew up in a big family: I have in total 7 siblings and took care of 5 of them as I was growing up. I learned very early on how to assist my siblings at a very young age. Working in different settings (in home, in clinics) as a Behavioral Therapist gave me more insight, experience, knowledge and patience with kids.

Kim $15 per hour for 1 child

I am a devoted caregiver and family-oriented individual with a lifelong passion for helping others. As a mother of four and a proud grandmother, I’ve spent years nurturing children of all ages, from newborns to young adults. My caregiving journey has extended beyond my own family—I have over 15 years of experience supporting individuals with disabilities in both home and community settings, as well as more than 5 years dedicated to senior care. I bring patience, empathy, and resilience to every role, including working with individuals who may be considered “difficult.” I believe in meeting people where they are, offering compassion, and creating a safe, supportive environment. Outside of caregiving, I am an animal lover at heart. I volunteer at an OTTB horse rescue, have owned a horse myself, and currently share my home with beloved dogs and cats. Whether caring for people or animals, I find joy in building connections, offering comfort, and making a positive difference in the lives around me.

Timiah 2 reviews
$19 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m Timiah, and I have over 10 years of experience working with children. I’ve cared for infants, toddlers, preschoolers, and school-aged children in both classroom settings and one-on-one care. Throughout my career, I’ve focused on creating a safe, loving, and fun environment where children can learn, explore, and feel comfortable being themselves. Working with children has always been my passion. I love watching them reach new milestones, build confidence, and discover the world around them. Whether we’re reading books, doing crafts, playing outside, or working on early learning activities, I enjoy making every day meaningful and fun. I’m also a proud mom of four, so I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your children. I know firsthand that parents want someone who is dependable, patient, and caring, and that’s exactly what I strive to be. After spending many years working in childcare centers, I’ve decided to work independently so I can give families more personalized care and build lasting relationships with the children I care for. My goal is to become someone your children look forward to seeing and someone you can feel completely confident leaving them with. I would love the opportunity to support your family and provide a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment where your little ones can thrive.

“Great and reliable. My son loves her so much. Professional and caring. Your kids would fall in love with her. Overall 10 out of 10”
