Gwennyth $18 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is gwennyth and i'm a college student here in Dallas. I have 2 dogs of my own and grew up with little brothers so I'm super familiar with both! Child care: Open to all age ranges; I love arts and crafts and can help with homework/tutoring. I myself like to keep myself busy with stimulating games or arts and crafts. Pet care: Open to all breeds and sizes! My personal babies are a german shepard (3.5yo) and frenchie (1.5yo) so i'm well equipped. Household: Open to running errands, cleaning, organizing and very flexible with your needs. While I do offer to clean, that is not my primary job/interest so if that is something you're interested in, i'd appreciate if the supplies were available from you :)

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 :]

Hello! I am a loving, playful, creative professional Ballerina, Early Childhood Educator, and Nanny. I have been a regular part time nanny for multiple families in NYC for the past 10 years and am in Dallas for a few weeks to work at the Opera. (I am actually still with a family that I met when I first joined Urbansitter- through the birth of their second child and a move!) I strive to provide a loving, peaceful environment, and to nurture all areas of development for these wonderful little humans. In addition to more than a decade of hands on experience, I have been trained in childhood development through movement with Dionne Kamara, and through sensory play with Jennie Monness at Union Square Play. I have since joined the staff there as a Lead Educator and a Co-Creator of the ‘Dance! Play! Ballet!’ curriculum. I base my approach to nannying on the Montessori, Reggio Emilia, and RIE philosophies that I have been exposed to and experienced in my work. I am Infant CPR/First Aid certified.
