Andrea Plano
$16 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Andrea and I am 31, married, and half-way through my Biochemistry degree at UNT. I am offering pet care and household services. Pet care - I grew up with a Labrador/Golden Retriever named Sasha as our family pet. I have also had gerbils, fish, and ferrets throughout my life. I am familiar with the extra care needed for both exotic pets and those with BIG personalities. Household services - I am an excellent cook and can prepare a wide range of meals even with limited ingredients. I have no personal allergies, but follow a strict dietary regimen and am happy to prepare specialized meals from a variety of backgrounds. I am a cheerful, efficient organizer, cleaner, laundry/closet helper and am open-minded to all situations, especially ones with sensitive mental health issues.

Growing up with multiple yellow labs and now having a labrador mix of my own has made me a dog lover for life. I love walks, play time in the yard, or just lounging around with a friend! Experienced in administering medications and caring for dogs of all ages.

$12 per hour for 1 child

Hi my name is Zaniya i’m 18 and i’m a upcoming senior class of 27. I offer childcare and also cleaning around the house! I love babysitting and have been babysitting since my 8th grade year and always loved doing it ever since I mainly watched Toddlers and kid and rarely watched infants. I also love helping out by doing stuff around the house and helping with little things, I know how to cook as-well I don’t have a drivers license yet so sadly I cannot run errands. I’m not allergic to anything but I do have sickle cell but I don’t let that get in the way. I look forward into helping parents and being someone you can rely on!

My background in child development education ensures that I understand the unique needs and developmental stages of young children. I have extensive work experience with children that have behaviors and mental health concerns building relationships and ensuring everyone is safe. Additionally, I have hands-on experience caring for my own nieces and nephews, further enhancing my ability to provide loving and reliable care. I am passionate about supporting children’s growth and well-being. I have a natural calming energy that loves to be creative, active, and goofy at times all while ensuring those around me are safe and knowing they are accepted and cared for.

Amazing job taking care of my beautiful baby girl! Please book her!

Sparkle Dallas
$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.
