Booked by 18 families in Richardson, TX

Hello, I’m Aleehya — a compassionate and experienced childcare provider with over seven years of dedicated service supporting children from infancy through late adolescence. My background includes working as a Registered Behavioral Technician in ABA therapy, where I support children with autism and other developmental needs through structured, evidence-based behavioral interventions designed to help them thrive. I bring a nurturing, patient, and encouraging presence to every setting, whether I’m caring for infants with gentle routines, helping school-aged children with emotional and social development, or supporting teens with life skills and confidence-building activities. I’ve also served as an assistant teacher at my church for over two years, where I help lead lessons and provide a safe, positive learning environment for children of all ages. In addition to childcare, I also offer reliable pet care services for families — from daily support and overnight care to working with dogs and cats who have medical or behavioral needs. I am comfortable administering medications, managing dietary restrictions, and tending to pets with specific routines or health conditions. Whether supporting a child with sensory sensitivities or comforting a pet recovering from surgery, I approach each situation with empathy, attentiveness, and professionalism. My goal is always to provide peace of mind for families by creating a caring, structured, and uplifting space where both children and pets feel secure, valued, and understood.

Aleehya was amazing with our 4 your old son! She was on time, professional and super caring and patient with him. He had an absolute blast with her all day. Her RTB background was great since our son is on the spectrum. We will definitely hire her again.

Booked by 26 families in Richardson, TX

Hi Parents! I’m Miriam and I have been working with children for 10 years professionally but 12 years overall. I have experience with children of all ages, twins and triplets, and have been in 6+ nanny shares. I’ve worked as a Career Nanny, Family Assistant and House Manager. I’m comfortable working in a team with Parents, Co-Nannies or other Staff. I’m vetted with various agencies in CO and TX. I’m currently working as a Newborn Care Specialist (NCS) specializing in multiples and also a trained Postpartum Doula training. I have various certifications including CPR/First Aid, Working with Multiples, Parenting Safe Children, and Respectful Childcare for Newborns, Infants and Toddlers. I take pride in having an extensive variety of knowledge relevant to my career which leads me to travel for child developmental trainings across the United States. I am happy to answer any questions. I look forward to hearing from you!

Miriam was quick to make friends with my 11 month old who has pretty bad stranger danger. She was happy and bubbly and very talkative with Remi which is exactly what babies need. Very comfortable with babies. She was able to get a big bottle in my very distracted difficult eater and a good baby food feeding as well. They played outside and went for a walk. Before leaving she washed all the bottles and wiped down the counters and cleaned up the toys; a rarity with sitters these days.

Booked by 6 families in Richardson, TX

Hello! My name is Daneeta and I am an experienced care provider and turor. I come from a large family, so I have quite a bit of experience with children of all ages, as well as children with special needs. I also volunteer in my church's nursery, so I am very comfortable with babies, and have tutored children from elementary through high school in different subjects. I am a singer and actor, so being creative and animated comes easy to me. I would love the opportunity to provide safe care for your precious little ones.

Daneeta accepted the job last minute when my daughter was mildly ill and not able to go into daycare. My 9 month old daughter took to her instantly, and Daneeta was so gentle and caring - looking for ways to keep our daughter comfortable when she didn’t feel well. Daneeta was singing to her (beautifully, I might add) and I could hear from the other room my daughter trying to sing along, which was very very sweet. Will absolutely be reaching out to Daneeta again!

Hi! I’m Alyssa, and I’ve worked with children for several years in both professional and caregiving settings. I’ve been a Registered Behavior Technician (RBT) for the past two years and have a total of six years of experience supporting children with special needs. I have also worked at a local summer camp for specials needs children in Richardson. I’m CPR certified and Safety Care trained, and creating a safe, calm, nurturing and fun environment is always my top priority. I genuinely love connecting with kids, learning their personalities, and helping them feel comfortable and cared for. I’m currently looking to connect with a few families for babysitting in the late afternoons and on weekends, and I’d love to be a reliable, trusted support for your family 🤍

Alyssa was amazing with our 4 year old son - he had so much fun with her! She was on time, professional, and did a great job of keeping him entertained. We’re still working on potty training him, and Alyssa was more than willing to help with that as well. Her RTB background is an added bonus since our son is on the spectrum. We will definitely hire her again.

Booked by 2 families in Richardson, TX

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!
