Hello! My name is Lisa and I am 26 years old. I have been working on and off as a nanny and house manager since I graduated high school about 8 years ago. I have had a lot of experience being around children since I was young because my mother had an at-home daycare for 15 years. I helped along side my mom with many of the kids ranging in age from 10 weeks old to about 12 years old. Along with that I also have babysat for many families for the past 12 years. I would say most of my experience is with toddlers but I've also watched after kids up to the age of 15. I have done extended overnight stays(up to 2 weeks), vacationing with families and have experience driving to and from school, friends houses, or sports practice. I’ve also helped families with groceries, meal prep, household chores, doctors appointments and other miscellaneous errands. I have had my license for 10 years now and have a clean record. No accidents or tickets. I have my own car and insurance. Some activities I enjoy doing with kids are reading books, playing at parks or just outside, coloring, helping with homework, playing with Legos or just toys in general, and doing arts and crafts. Before the pandemic, I also worked at a children's gymnastics gym and play-place for a few months before the location I worked at sadly had to close down due to COVID. While there I learned some developmental activities for the kids I specialized with. The age group I focused on while there ranged in age from 14 weeks up to about 4 years old. I’m also fully vaccinated and adult and infant CPR and first aid certified.

Hi there! My name is Sarah, and I’m a recent UTSA graduate with a BS in Biochemistry. I am a current medical assistant and applying to PhD programs for Fall 2026 to investigate disease mechanisms, particularly with Type 2 Diabetes and Obesity. As the oldest of five, I’ve been taking care of little ones since they were babies. Outside of family, I’ve had hands-on experience as young as 3 years old, and I’ve also provided tutoring for high school students. Whether it’s helping with homework, playing games, reading stories, or organizing fun activities, I create a safe, nurturing, and enjoyable environment for your child. I’m BLS/CPR certified, can cook, and I’m comfortable with household tasks. I’m well-versed in caring for animals as I have a cat of my own and occasionally watch over family friends’ pets (most being 4 dogs small and large and 1 cat), making me the perfect option for families with pets. If you’re looking for someone responsible, caring, and fun, I’d love to meet your family!
“Great! Highly recommend ”
I am married since 32 years with 2 beautiful children and 2 sweet rescue dogs. My husband was in the Army for 30 years where I maintained myself as a piano teacher moving every 1 - 3 years. I truly love kids and dogs very much . I babysit multiple kids and special needs kids since 8 years on care.com with fun and compassion by mixing reading, music, outdoor activities, German games, German songs, crafts and any activities the child likes and the parents approve. Babies giggle about my funny expressions and sounds. I am willing to drive up to 30 miles for date nights. Thank you !
“Bernice is an absolute delight! My 3 and 7 year old boys loved her and felt comfortable right away (which is not always the case). She is on time, responds fast to my texts, and my kids always seem to enjoy their time with her. She goes out of her way to play with my boys and keep them entertained. It feels nice to be able to relax and not worry about them, knowing they are in good hands. Thank you for all your help! I’ll be reaching back out again soon.”
Hello! My name is Emannuela, I’m 33 years old and originally from Brazil, where I graduated in Early Childhood Education and worked as a kindergarten teacher for five years before moving to the United States. I have over seven years of full-time childcare experience in the U.S., including two years as an au pair in New York, caring for a baby from 3 months to 2 years old, and five years as a nanny in Maryland, looking after three wonderful children between 1 month and 8 years old. I truly enjoy being around kids, helping them learn, play, and grow in a safe, positive environment. I’m currently transitioning careers, but I still love connecting with families and offering occasional babysitting. I’m available after 5:30 p.m. on weekdays and all day and night on weekends, and I’d be happy to help with date nights or special occasions. In addition to childcare, I’m also available for senior companionship, dog sitting, and running errands. Looking forward to speaking with you, Emannuela
I’m a college student at George Mason University studying marketing, and I’m a responsible, caring, and dependable person who genuinely enjoys working with kids. I have babysitting experience as well as experience volunteering at a daycare. I’m comfortable caring for children of different ages, helping with homework, preparing snacks and simple meals, and keeping kids entertained with games, crafts, and outdoor activities. I’m patient, attentive, and always make safety a priority. I’m also comfortable with pets and helping with light household or child related tasks. I’m looking forward to finding families to help out!
