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 :]

Booked by 40 families in Plano, TX

Hi families! I am a 28 year-old college graduate living in Plano. My mom was 1 of 20 children, so I have a lot of little cousins who I grew up around and helped care for. I have 13 years of paid babysitting experience. I've after-school nannied for two families with 8 and 5 year-old girls. I have experience with all ages of children, including: infants, toddlers, twins, multiples and special needs (ADHD and Down Syndrome). I'm comfortable changing diapers, bottle-feeding, rocking children to sleep, etc. I have a calm, patient and easy-going personality with a good sense of humor that allows me to connect well with kids. I enjoy meeting new families and would love to hear from you if I seem like a good fit!

“Megan was great with our two boys and two young dogs. She managed bedtimes, meals, crating dogs, and communicated throughout the evening. She was prompt, professional and a pleasure to work with. Highly recommended!!”

Hello! I'm a Richardson native looking to help local families while earning a little extra income. I have a bachelor's degree from the University of Texas at Dallas and several years of experience working with children of all ages including infants through my time as a dance instructor. I'm happy to provide engaging, attentive care in your home, whether that means playing games, helping with homework, reading stories, or keeping little ones entertained. With your permission, I'm also happy to take children to a nearby park for some outdoor fun. I was recently married and have a dog and two cats, so I'm very comfortable around pets. I'm dependable, patient, and understand how important it is for parents to know their children are in caring and responsible hands. I look forward to meeting your family! Please note I do have an 8 am to 5 pm day job, so I will only be able to accommodate outside of these hours. A quick note about my reviews: You might notice I only have one review, and it's a few years old. That's because I took a break from babysitting while focusing on building my career after college. Rest assured, I've babysat for far more families than my profile suggests. The happy kids and relieved parents just weren't in the habit of leaving online reviews back then. 😊 I'm excited to be back and look forward to earning many more five-star reviews!

“Kelley arrived before time and was really friendly. She walked my son to the park and he had a great time. I highly recommend her. Thank you Kelley!”

Cassandra $24 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Cassey. I’ve been supporting little ones along their developmental journey for almost seven years through two full-time nanny positions, along with experience as a lead 2’s teacher. I’m currently with one of my nanny families going on our fourth year together, and while I remain committed to them, I’m looking to pick up some additional part-time hours while their kiddo is in school. They are fully supportive and flexible with my schedule, and they would be more than happy to be contacted as a reference. I'm hoping to find some day time hours between 9:30am and 5pm one or multiple days a week. I’m also enrolled in online classes pursuing a degree in Social Work. My dream is to work with children in the foster care system—helping them find loving, safe homes and being a warm, steady, positive presence in their lives.

Hi! I’m a responsible and energetic caregiver with over 5 years of experience in both childcare and pet sitting. I love creating a fun, safe environment for kids through creative play and activities, and I am equally passionate about keeping furry friends happy and well-exercised. Whether it’s helping with homework, preparing light meals, or going for long walks with your dog, I pride myself on being reliable and attentive to every family's unique needs. I look forward to meeting your family!
