Booked by 6 families in The Colony, TX

I'm Deisy, a nanny with more than 5 years of experience in taking care of children of all ages. My approach is based on creating a safe, fun and educational environment, where children can explore and learn. I consider myself a loving, punctual and creative person, always looking for ways to keep the little ones entertained and happy. Although my English is not very good, I have never had communication problems; I always find a way to connect with families. In addition, I teach Spanish to children, which enriches their learning. I offer support with light cleaning tasks and I can help with pet care. I have a clean driving record and I have my own vehicle, which allows me to be flexible in my schedules. I have certificates in CPR and first aid, which gives me the confidence to act in emergency situations. I also enjoy cooking healthy meals tailored to family preferences. My good references from several families reflect my commitment and dedication. I am excited about the opportunity to contribute to the well-being and development of your children.

Deisy is such a sweet and humble young lady. She was an amazing caregiver for my three kids, and I can’t recommend her enough! For anyone who has a hard time trusting others or doesn’t know where to leave their little ones, Deisy is truly someone you can count on—whether it’s for a night out or an emergency. My kids absolutely loved her! She was very punctual, and she communicated since I booked !! She is someone responsible and I was able to rely on her with my babies !! We will be using your services in the future 🤍 Thank you Deisy I couldn’t recommend you enough !!!

Booked by 1 family in The Colony, TX

Hi, my name is Paloma! I am bilingual being fluent in Spanish as well! I moved from Houston, Tx in 2020 for college and now looking to finish my last year at UNT online. I am also currently in flight school pursuing my career in aviation as a pilot. My classes are flexible so I choose to take them in the early morning or late afternoon whatever works for my schedule. I have been working in child care for 5 years now serving all ages! During my time here I have been a live-in nanny for 2 different families now. The current family I work for has 3 wonderful kids ages 3-9 yrs, and will now be leaving them in the fall to move to Dallas to be closer to the city. I have reliable transportation, so commuting won't be a problem for me. I hope to find a family that is as adventurous and loving. Working with kids has taught me more about life skills than i've learned anywhere else, and being in this job has made me into the person I am today. I am so grateful to have gained such important attributes for my life. Their innocence and creativity make them important structures for this world and I am happy to be there to help them grow. I would love to hear from you! Feel free to reach out whenever!

So nice and very respectable young lady. My son warmed up to her very quickly!
