Booked by 30 families in Lockhart, TX

Hello! My name is Raquel. I have experience working for families with three and one child, between seven months and four years. I love working with kids and I am very patient and sweet with them. I enjoy playing and performing indoor and outdoor activities. I am a Spanish speaker, so that I can teach them. I also have experience working with Seniors with Dementia, and I consider myself a loving caregiver. I have experience preparing light meals, feeding them, doing outdoor activities such as walking around the park and neighborhood, and administering medication according to the doctor's prescription. I enjoy nature (parks and rivers), and I like to listen to music and dance. I am a respectful and trustworthy person.

Raquel was fantastic with my two toddlers! She was on time, engaged, energetic, and cleaned up after kiddos activities. I would not hesitate recommending Raquel to other parents!

Hi! I’m Junnie, originally from Roatan, Honduras, and a proud mom of two wonderful kids. Over the years, my little ones have made lasting friendships with other children I’ve cared for as a professional babysitter. I have 6 years of experience working with newborns, infants, toddlers, and older kids, and I’d love the opportunity to support your family. In addition to childcare, I’m happy to assist with errands, light cooking, and cleaning to help make your day a little easier—just let me know in advance so we can discuss these needs. Please note that all booked time will be charged, so be sure to schedule accordingly. I look forward to connecting with you!

Booked by 13 families in Lockhart, TX

Hi! My name is Jackie, and I currently work full-time as a nanny caring for a toddler. I have experience with children of different ages, including being a mom myself to two little girls, so I understand how important patience, safety, and routine are. I’m responsible, caring, dependable, and love creating a calm and fun environment for kids. I can help with playtime, meals, bedtime routines, light housekeeping related to the children, laundry, walks, reading, and keeping daily routines organized. I’m looking for occasional babysitting and part-time opportunities during evenings and weekends. Families would describe me as kind, trustworthy, flexible, and easy to communicate with.

she is so sweet and great with kids.
