$20 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Tajah. I have been substitute teacher for about 5 years and will be starting on my teacher certification soon. I have experience as a long-term sub for general ed and special needs students. I'm also a nanny for a couple of students that I have taught. I change diapers, watch your kids, feed hem, entertain them or keep them busy, etc and I have experience with bathing, clothing, and even doing their hair. I have also worked with a young lady who was wheel chair bound and couldn't do pretty much anything by herself.

Hello I’m Amber, a mom of 2, and I have a lot of experience working with kids 6wks-teens as a former director/owner/ educator of a licensed daycare home for over 7 years. I chose a different career path after covid but I really love kids in my core. Over the past 27yrs, I have also worked at recreation centers, 24-hr daycares, non-profits for daycare accreditation, Head Start & ECI (Early Childhood Intervention) I understand different parenting styles, living arrangements, so there's no judgement, just quality care, and the need to go with the flow of life. I'm a basketball mom as well so I figured I give this a shot too lol. I have some free time to play outside of my current part-time position and would love to help you parents out.

Amber is great with our kids, she’s the best! Will definitely hire her again

I have years of experience caring for children. I have raised two beautiful children of my own. I have been a state certified In-home daycare provider in the states of Texas and North Carolina. My most recent certification, in the state of Texas, was 2[removed]. I recently closed my daycare and relocated to the Dallas/Ft. Worth area to be closer to my daughter, who is expecting my second grandchild in January. I will provide references upon request.
