“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.”

Hello!- My name is Geanny. I’m currently a student at TSTC. I am offering pet care, senior care, household, and child care services. I love caring for people, and have cared for my 3 pets since I was 14. I also help care for my grandparents who are fully dependent on my parents and I. I have around 6 nieces and nephews I’ve grown up watching and transporting around, and had always enjoyed being as interactive as I can be with them. I can also work as a household assistant and am great at deep cleaning, running errands, and cooking when necessary! I am happy to work with families and individuals of all backgrounds, and hope to showcase my dependability and skills!

Hi! My name is Meagan, and I’m a fun, responsible 24-year-old who works at a local restaurant. I genuinely enjoy taking care of kids and creating a safe, positive, and engaging environment for them. I have four younger siblings whom I’ve helped care for over the years, so I’m very comfortable with children of different ages. I also have lots of friends who trust me with their kids and have always had great experiences. I’m patient, dependable, and love making sure kids feel happy, cared for, and entertained while their parents are away.

$16 per hour for 1 child
I’m from San Antonio currently studying Psychology and Child Development at Baylor University. I have been babysitting for about 6 years and working at an early learning center (Little Dove Learning Center) for about a year. I absolutely love kids and animals and have learned to tailor myself to connect well with kids of all ages. I have the most experience with infants-2 year olds but am very comfortable with all ages. I’m organized, committed, and passionate about my work so much so that it rarely feels like I’m working. I also have a dog (Shih-Tzu) and a leopard gecko that I take care of!!
