Booked by 27 families in Missouri City, TX

Hello Families, I moved to Houston almost 2 years ago. Before moving, I graduated from UC Merced (in California) with a degree in Public Health and a minor in Community Research and Service Minor. Previously, I worked part-time teaching swimming to kids 4 days a week. Then on my own, I taught private swim lessons for 2 years. I have been responsible for caring for children ages from 5 months to 12 years. While having lots of fun and laughs, I make sure to keep your child's safety a priority. I have also prepared and served meals with instruction. Thank you so much for considering me and taking the time to read through my profile. I look forward to hearing from you and meeting you and your family!

“Anna Tai was reliable m, communicative and engaged. She thought of interesting and memorable activities that my sons enjoyed.”

Booked by 11 families in Missouri City, TX

Hello!! I’m Chiamaka but you can call me Kaima. I’m currently a nursing student looking towards specializing in anesthesiology. My hobbies are dancing, singing, reading, and taking solitary walks. My experience in terms of babysitting started with family. I helped my Aunt in raising my cousins, taking care of them since their birth till about age 5/7 when I moved out. The fun part of being with them was catering for them, helping with assignments,playing with them and also expanding my own personal knowledge when it comes to kids because undoubtedly, they are wonderful but delicate. With this knowledge, I’m willing to extend this care to you and your kids. I’m looking forward to working with you and getting to bond with your baby/babies :)

Booked by 3 families in Missouri City, TX

Hello my name is Deanna. I am a mother of 4. I have worked at Sugar Creek Baptist and Elsik Ninth Grade Center in the past. I have 18+ years of experience working with children. The keys to successful relationships with children is encouraging/guiding them, modeling good behavior and listening to them. I am also an experienced caregiver as I have cared for my own Father and Mother. I believe everyone is deserving of respect and I have experience working with people of all different cultures, religion, and ages.

“Amazing sitter. Positive and uplifting energy with very high morals. Not only did she help me with taking care of my child while I was recovering from my procedure, she was wonderful and very caring helping take care of me as well. My child connected well with her as well.”
