Elizabeth $15 per hour for 1 child

My name is Elizabeth, and I am a Senior at the University of Mary Hardin–Baylor, pursuing a degree in Early Childhood Education. I plan to graduate in May 2026 and aspire to teach at the elementary level, as I truly enjoy working with young learners and helping them grow academically and emotionally. I’ve had several wonderful opportunities to work with children. For the past two summers, I worked at a daycare, where I cared for children ranging in age from infants to six years old. In addition, I love spending time with my two-year-old niece and nine-year-old nephew, which has further strengthened my nurturing and patient nature. I take pride in being patient, kind, punctual, and an effective communicator—qualities I believe are essential in creating a positive and supportive learning environment for children.

Tiarra $16 per hour for 1 child

Hi families! My name is Tiarra, and I am a dedicated care professional looking to provide premium, reliable childcare and specialized behavioral support on weekends. I offer a unique blend of extensive practical experience, combining 20 years of informal childcare for family and friends with 15 years of professional, paid caregiving. Currently, I work full-time as a Qualified Mental Health Professional (QMHP) in the Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities (IDD) field. My professional background also includes serving as an HHSC Service Coordinator and a CPS Investigator for the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services. Additionally, I am an active Master of Health Administration (MHA) candidate, which drives my strict commitment to the absolute highest standards of safety, structure, and administrative organization. Because of my background, I specialize in providing exceptional care for families with neurodivergent or special needs children (including autism and ADHD). However, I am equally skilled at managing busy, fast-paced, multi-child households. I focus on creating a warm, encouraging environment where children learn self-regulation and independence through structured play, arts, and sensory activities. I am a strict non-smoker, fully CPR/First Aid certified, and drive my own reliable vehicle. I love pets and am happy to assist with light housekeeping or meal preparation to keep your home running smoothly. I look forward to giving you 100% peace of mind during your time away!
