Booked by 20 families in Murphy, 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 :]

Makenzie $18 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name’s Makenzie, I’m 21 years old and I absolutely love working with kids. Over the past three years, I have worked with two different families that each had two children under 4 years old. Both of which have given me the ability to understand early childhood development and manage multiple children at once while still providing care and attention to each child. Outside of work, I enjoy camping, traveling, fishing, serving in church and spending time with family. Building a strong bond with not only your kids but the whole family is so important to me! I have a big heart for animals as well so if you have pets, that’s a bonus for me! I am CPR certified and I do have my own vehicle. If you have any more questions feel free to ask. Thank you!
