Booked by 5 families in Mc Kinney, TX

Hello!!! My name is Alexa (I go by Lexi) and I have always had a passion for caring for children. Currently I am a public school music teacher for ages 5-11 and I absolutely love it! Before teaching elementary, I worked in a private preschool where the students would have a full day schedule of different activities to engage in. Additionally, I have experience teaching church youth ages 4-12 to lead worship and I have lots of experience with infants and toddlers. I would love to help your family or group with your child care needs.

Ethan $15 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Ethan, and I’m a dependable, energetic, and service-oriented professional with a diverse background working with families, students, and busy households. I previously served on staff at several churches, including Prestonwood Baptist Church, where I worked as a Worship Associate in the Student Ministry—giving me years of experience caring for and mentoring middle-school and high-school–aged kids. I’m currently a full-time musician, wedding singer, and DJ, and I’m also studying to become a Certified Personal Trainer. Because my work is contract-based, I value opportunities that offer flexibility while still allowing me to show up fully, reliably, and with a great attitude. I’m comfortable working with older children (6th grade and up), and I’m also available for house sitting and pet sitting. I’m detail-oriented, respectful of your space, and happy to help with light household tasks if needed. Whether you’re looking for someone trustworthy to care for your home, your pets, or your kids, I take pride in being someone you can count on. I’d love the opportunity to support your family and make your life a little easier!

Diya $12 per hour for 1 child

Hi, families. My name is Diya, and I am an incoming sophomore attending the University of Maryland. I am so excited to get to know, meet, and spend time with your family. I love bonding with children, especially with new, creative, and engaging activities that keep them stimulated and having a good time. I have worked at many children's tutoring services, all throughout high school, where I was exposed to various personalities and energy levels among children. I have also spent many years babysitting for my community when parents go out for date nights or other leisure activities. I also have interned at many pediatric dental clinics, as I am a pre-dental student so I have skills on working with any anxiety children may have in uncomfotable situations. Lastly, I have worked in daycares and summer camps with large groups of children over the summers. I am also able to do household services such as laundry, dishes, and cleaning the house. I have a large dog, so I would also be able to take care of any pets based on your requests. I am also CPR and AED certified to ensure that you feel safe leaving your child with me.

Booked by 20 families in Mc Kinney, TX

Hi parents, My name is Roma and I love babysitting/dog sitting. I believe it’s important to take care of those who cannot take care of themselves. I have a big family and they’ve instilled important values and professional work ethics on me. I work in the medical field as a pharmacy technician. It’s a rewarding experience as I keep in touch with my patients occasionally , as you build long-lasting relationships throughout the months and sometimes years! I volunteer, as well through CERT. It’s an acronym for Community Emergency Response Team. We prepare/train fellow community members in what to do incase there is an emergency life-threatening situation. As you can see..I like to stay busy and keep my mind sharp. I look forward to meeting you and your family soon and hopefully building fun memories :]
