I am also on Nannylane.com if you would like to look at the short References, I have from my family/ other families as well as more short references on Bambino! I love babysitting and building bonds with each child/family I come in contact with! I first started watching my families children around 13 years old and went into the babysitting business when I was 15!

“Desria was wonderful with my 7-month-old baby. She is clearly very experienced, kind, and easy to connect with. She handled my fussy, teething baby with so much patience and care. When my son refused to nap in his crib, Desria lovingly offered him a contact nap, which I thought was incredibly sweet and thoughtful. She was attentive to his needs and made sure he felt comfortable and cared for. As an added bonus, she left all of his toys neatly organized before leaving. I was very impressed with her professionalism and warmth. I will definitely be booking her again and highly recommend her to other families.”

Jada Temple
$22 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Jada, and I am 28 years old. I have many years of experience caring for children and a genuine passion for helping families. Before becoming a stay-at-home mom, I worked full-time in a preschool/daycare setting for 3 years, where I cared for children ranging from newborns to toddlers. I am currently a stay-at-home mom to my two sons, ages 6 years old and 14 months old. My days are filled with providing a safe, nurturing, and structured environment for them, including caring for my youngest at home and taking my oldest to and from school. Being a mother has strengthened my patience, understanding, and ability to meet the unique needs of children at different developmental stages. I would love the opportunity to bring that same level of care, love, and reliability to your family. I understand how important it is to find someone trustworthy and dependable to help with your children, and I would be honored to provide support while ensuring they feel safe, happy, and well cared for.

Elizabeth Belton
$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.

Killeen
$20 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Troy, TX

Hello! My name is Joyce! I have 4 years of volunteer experience in the children's ministry at church, of caring for infants through 13 years old. Additionally, I have a year of experience as a foster care support sitter. I am open to pet sitting, small sized dogs and cats, as well as light housekeeping and senior care. I have a reliable vehicle, and am a non-smoker. My schedule is flexible. I work 100% remote, and would prefer something part time/occassional. However, full time may work if it fits my schedule! Please feel free to reach out and we can discuss. I enjoy reading, traveling and learning new things! I am currently taking up sewing, and learning Spanish! I believe a child's gifts should be strengthened. I love to implement new activities, such as puzzles, reading books, arts & crafts, board games, cooking etc. Playing and learning are crucial for kids! I can pick up/drop off, take to the park etc. For seniors, I am willing to run errands, drop off to appointments, light housecleaning (dishes, vacuum, laundry).

“If I can give Joy six stars, I definitely would. She is extremely punctual and a great communicator. My kids instantly felt comfortable around her. I’m a stay at home mom and don’t really like people I don’t know watching my children, but starting with the interview me and my husband both felt very confident that she would do an amazing job. I love how she plays pretend when my children are being a little difficult and does activities with them. 100% recommend her.”
