$20 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 6 families in Mesquite, TX

I'm Deisy, a nanny with more than 5 years of experience in taking care of children of all ages. My approach is based on creating a safe, fun and educational environment, where children can explore and learn. I consider myself a loving, punctual and creative person, always looking for ways to keep the little ones entertained and happy. Although my English is not very good, I have never had communication problems; I always find a way to connect with families. In addition, I teach Spanish to children, which enriches their learning. I offer support with light cleaning tasks and I can help with pet care. I have a clean driving record and I have my own vehicle, which allows me to be flexible in my schedules. I have certificates in CPR and first aid, which gives me the confidence to act in emergency situations. I also enjoy cooking healthy meals tailored to family preferences. My good references from several families reflect my commitment and dedication. I am excited about the opportunity to contribute to the well-being and development of your children.

Deisy is such a sweet and humble young lady. She was an amazing caregiver for my three kids, and I can’t recommend her enough! For anyone who has a hard time trusting others or doesn’t know where to leave their little ones, Deisy is truly someone you can count on—whether it’s for a night out or an emergency. My kids absolutely loved her! She was very punctual, and she communicated since I booked !! She is someone responsible and I was able to rely on her with my babies !! We will be using your services in the future 🤍 Thank you Deisy I couldn’t recommend you enough !!!

Jasiya $15 per hour for 1 child

Hello parents, my name is of course Jasiya I am a college freshman currently doing my prerequisites for cardiovascular sonography. I love being a babysitter because I genuinely enjoy spending time with kids and making sure they have that person to make them feel happy and cared for. I’m responsible and reliable, so parents can trust that I’ll always show up on time and handle everything smoothly. I pay attention to each child’s personality and needs, and I try to create a fun and engaging environment through games, crafts, reading, or just playful conversation. I stay calm and patient no matter what comes up, whether it’s a tantrum, a minor accident, or a disagreement between siblings. Safety is always my top priority, but I also make sure kids feel comfortable and confident exploring and having fun. I communicate openly with parents, sharing updates on how the kids are doing and any important details they should know. Overall, I see babysitting as more than just supervision, I try to be someone kids enjoy spending time with and parents can completely rely on, combining care, fun, and attentiveness in everything I do. I have been babysitting unpaid and paid for many years in various settings. I have babysat in churches, my home, others homes and even in shelters. I also started a business with a couple other friends in a babysitters club kind of way ! I hope all of this has shown that I am the perfect sitter for you, I hope to hear from you soon !

$20 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 18 families in Mesquite, TX

Hello! My name is Ariana and I am a graduate student. I am offering child care, dog care, and household services. I have been babysitting since I was 12-13 years old watching newborns, infants, toddlers, and kids. I have been responsible for driving to/from school, crafts, driving to/from after-school activities, and completing chores. I love hanging out and doing activities that the children enjoy, while teaching life and communication skills that are age appropriate! (ex. maintaining a clean room, completing homework, communicating needs, etc.) For house sitting, I have been responsible for watering plants, collecting mail, and regularly checking in on the house when needed. I am comfortable with most pets, but am most familiar with dogs.

Warm, professional, and a joy for our daughter to be around.
