Booked by 10 families in Richmond, TX

Hello!! I’m Chiamaka but you can call me Kaima. I’m currently a nursing student looking towards specializing in anesthesiology. My hobbies are dancing, singing, reading, and taking solitary walks. My experience in terms of babysitting started with family. I helped my Aunt in raising my cousins, taking care of them since their birth till about age 5/7 when I moved out. The fun part of being with them was catering for them, helping with assignments,playing with them and also expanding my own personal knowledge when it comes to kids because undoubtedly, they are wonderful but delicate. With this knowledge, I’m willing to extend this care to you and your kids. I’m looking forward to working with you and getting to bond with your baby/babies :)

I have a clear criminal and drug background check and am a non-smoker. I have my own reliable transportation with current TDL and insurance. Up-to-date on flu shot, Tdap, MMR, COVID vaccines.

Mary Richmond
$18 per hour for 1 child

Hello Families!😊 My name is Mary. I love kids and especially babies. Ever since I was younger I would love to watch over kids, whether it was my baby cousins, my mom’s friends kids, or my very own baby brother. Babysitting, protecting, and just having fun with kids has always been the one thing I am always happy doing. No matter how shy, energetic, or playful a child can be they always put a smile on my face. I have always vowed to treat a child like how I’d want my own treated in the future. I’ve always been good at communicating with children and having patience and understanding. I love bringing kids out their shell and allowing them to feel like they’re in a safe, comfortable space to be themselves. every child is different and no matter the case they all deserve support and respect. Im also a very playful person, I genuinely enjoy having fun with kids! I love dancing or crafts or anything active. I have over 5 years of experience. My experience consists of working in a daycare as an assistant teacher for over a year. I was previously a caretaker for a five month old for about four months. I have babysat numerous kids for my neighbors and their friends ranging from the ages of 2-10. I have worked with kids with autism, and I was a care taker for a 28 year old with down syndrome about two years ago as well. I've also been helping take care of my 7 year old brother since he was born! I was trained CPR certified when I was 15 and still remember how to perform it although I am currently working to get my certification renewed. Im currently in school for maternal sonography as well. I am comfortable with all ages. Please contact me for any questions!
