Sparkle $15 per hour for 1 child

My name is Sparkle. I was born and raised in Los Angeles, California, and moved to Texas with my family in 2014, where I completed my high school education. I currently own and operate my own hair business, which provides me with steady income and the flexibility to spend my time doing what I truly love—caring for others. Caregiving has always been a natural part of my life. I have extensive experience with infants and toddlers, having grown up surrounded by childcare from a very young age. My mother worked for a child care, and I often accompanied her to work, where I was able to observe loving, professional childcare environments and connect with children regularly. I also helped care for younger siblings, cousins, nieces, and nephews, and I have lovingly supported family and friends by babysitting their children over the years. Many of my close friends are parents, and I have been present in their children’s lives from birth, watching them grow and supporting them along the way. I also have experience providing compassionate care for seniors. Caring for my grandfather during hospice was a deeply meaningful experience that strengthened my patience, empathy, and emotional awareness. It taught me how important gentleness, dignity, and presence are when supporting someone through vulnerable moments. In addition, I have a lifelong background in pet care, having grown up with dogs my entire life. I am comfortable with feeding, walking, playtime, and offering pets the attentive, loving care they deserve. At my core, I am a deeply caring and attentive person. I am patient, kind, loving, and warm-hearted, and I take pride in creating a calm, safe, and nurturing environment where others feel seen, supported, and genuinely cared for.
