Hello! My name is Raquel. I have experience working for families with three and one child, between seven months and four years. I love working with kids and I am very patient and sweet with them. I enjoy playing and performing indoor and outdoor activities. I am a Spanish speaker, so that I can teach them. I also have experience working with Seniors with Dementia, and I consider myself a loving caregiver. I have experience preparing light meals, feeding them, doing outdoor activities such as walking around the park and neighborhood, and administering medication according to the doctor's prescription. I enjoy nature (parks and rivers), and I like to listen to music and dance. I am a respectful and trustworthy person.

Raquel was fantastic with my two toddlers! She was on time, engaged, energetic, and cleaned up after kiddos activities. I would not hesitate recommending Raquel to other parents!

Hi! I’m Junnie, originally from Roatan, Honduras, and a proud mom of two wonderful kids. Over the years, my little ones have made lasting friendships with other children I’ve cared for as a professional babysitter. I have 6 years of experience working with newborns, infants, toddlers, and older kids, and I’d love the opportunity to support your family. In addition to childcare, I’m happy to assist with errands, light cooking, and cleaning to help make your day a little easier—just let me know in advance so we can discuss these needs. Please note that all booked time will be charged, so be sure to schedule accordingly. I look forward to connecting with you!

Hi! I'm a certified teacher with a full time nanny job that ends at 4 daily. I'm great with children of all ages, and I have 4 older children of my own. I love doing art projects, playing games, swimming, being outside, and having lots of fun! I have excellent references, and I'm a very patient and loving caregiver! I am available for weekend and date night sitting only.

Great experience with her last month for our multiple little ones. Will book again!

My name is Brooklyn; I moved to Texas from out of state. I am currently an accounting manager for a nonprofit. I am available for after-work and weekend childcare. While living in San Diego, CA, I babysat for several families. I did after-school pickup and drop off at sports for two siblings for one family, and then I did weekend babysitting for another family with two siblings. In addition to babysitting, I assisted in teaching summer dance and cheer programs for three years, I took a couple of child development classes in high school and college, volunteered to help a preschool class a few times a year at the preschool my mother worked at, and nannied a 1-year-old for a year. I also help my sister with her 6 year old twins. I have extensive knowledge of everything Disney does, know a bit about sports, and am up-to-date on kids' shows. I'm fun and energetic and love to be active and engaging. *For pet owners, please inform me if you have a cat. I am deathly allergic.*

Brooklyn was great we look forward to having her again!
