Sofia $15 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Sofia, I’m 19, and I’m a freshman at NVC. I’m currently working on my transfer to UTSA as a music major :) The services I offer are child care (preferably above the age of 5) and pet care. I prefer cats but I love dogs as well! I’ve been babysitting and pet sitting for as long as I can remember. I used to be acquainted with a dog breeder who paid me to supervise his puppies while he was on business trips, from when I was 8-13. When I was 12-17, I watched over my mother’s friend’s children (6 and 10) while they had girl time. My responsibilities have included feeding them, supervising them, helping with the occasional homework, and crafts. I can clean, cook simple meals, and run errands with appropriate compensation. The services I offer are child care (preferably above the age of 5) and pet care. I prefer cats but I love dogs as well!

Hailey $16 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Hailey, and I’m a dependable and caring caregiver based in San Antonio. I offer child care, senior care, pet care, and light household services. I have hands-on experience caring for young children, including my 2-year-old niece, who I spend a lot of time with and help care for regularly. Being around her has helped me become patient, attentive, and confident with toddlers and children of all ages. I truly enjoy working with kids and creating a safe, loving, and engaging environment for them. I also run my own nail technician business, which has strengthened my professionalism, time management, cleanliness, and attention to detail. Additionally, I come from a family-run business and am currently studying to become a medical assistant, giving me a strong understanding of responsibility, safety, and compassionate care. I’m reliable, trustworthy, and always treat families and their loved ones with kindness and respect.
