Booked by 25 families in Ovilla, TX

Hello I’m Amber, a mom of 2, and I have a lot of experience working with kids 6wks-teens as a former director/owner/ educator of a licensed daycare home for over 7 years. I chose a different career path after covid but I really love kids in my core. Over the past 27yrs, I have also worked at recreation centers, 24-hr daycares, non-profits for daycare accreditation, Head Start & ECI (Early Childhood Intervention) I understand different parenting styles, living arrangements, so there's no judgement, just quality care, and the need to go with the flow of life. I'm a basketball mom as well so I figured I give this a shot too lol. I have some free time to play outside of my current part-time position and would love to help you parents out.

“Enjoyed our wedding anniversary night out stress free. After reading over Amber’s reviews and getting to meet her in person we were sold. Her attention to detail is impeccable as she mentioned to us what helped calm our baby down (which was spot on without giving her forewarning) and gave us even more peace of mind that our infant was in good hands. We look forward to being a returning family for her services!”

Booked by 3 families in Ovilla, TX

Hello! I’m Miss Nonette. I have over 20 years of experience working with children, from infants through school age, including children with special needs. My background includes preschool teaching, Montessori education, childcare, and reading tutoring. I especially enjoy helping young children build confidence and develop strong early reading skills. I use a patient, nurturing approach and enjoy creating engaging learning experiences based on each child’s individual needs and developmental level. I am Montessori certified and First Aid/CPR certified, with experience supporting children with developmental differences. I am available for occasional childcare, reading and homework support, school pickup, and other family needs that fit my availability. I also have experience providing care for seniors and adults with special needs. I speak English and Tagalog. I am allergic to cats and prefer homes without pets, although I may consider well-trained dogs, birds, or fish. I truly enjoy seeing children learn, grow, and become more confident. I look forward to getting to know your family and learning how I can help!

Hiii ! My name is Abbie and I’m 19 years old, I’m from Washington DC but moved to Texas when I was around 12 !! I love children so much and am in school to be a pediatric nurse !!
