Booked by 4 families in Stafford, TX

Hi! My name is Jackeline, but everyone calls me Jackie. I am currently a freshman in college and I am offering child care and dog care services. I love babysitting and have been caring for infants and toddlers since I was around 10–13 years old. I have lots of hands-on experience and truly enjoy working with children. If needed, I can also tutor elementary school students. At the moment, I do not drive, but I will always be dropped off at any location provided. I am happy to help with cooking, light cleaning, organizing, or any small tasks you may need assistance with. I am the oldest of three siblings, which has given me a strong understanding of how to care for children, stay patient, and handle different situations. I also have two dogs that I care for regularly, so I am comfortable with feeding, walking, and general pet care as well. I am responsible, caring, and always willing to help however I can. I look forward to supporting your family!

“Jackie was one of the best sitters I’ve had in ages- not only were my kids well taken care of but she tidied up after the children around my house while waiting on me to get back which was so appreciated”
