Ale $25 per hour for 1 child

From a young age, I knew I had a heart for care. My journey into caregiving began in early childhood education, where I worked with infants and toddlers, nurturing their development during their most formative years. I quickly discovered a deep sense of purpose in creating safe, warm environments that supported not only physical care but emotional connection as well. As my experience grew, I was drawn to working with children on the autism spectrum. I took specialized training to better understand their unique needs and communication styles, and I found joy in celebrating every small milestone—whether it was a new word, a smile, or a moment of connection. My approach has always been patient, compassionate, and grounded in building trust. Alongside my work in childcare, I also found myself gravitating toward seniors care. Supporting elderly individuals—especially those facing isolation, dementia, or limited mobility—gave me the chance to offer dignity, companionship, and meaningful daily interactions. I’ve learned that caregiving at both ends of life’s spectrum requires many of the same values: empathy, patience, respect, and a willingness to truly listen. With years of hands-on experience across generations, I’ve come to appreciate the deep rewards of caregiving. Each person—whether a baby, a child with autism, or a senior—deserves to feel seen, safe, and valued. And for me, being able to provide that care is more than a job; it’s a calling.

Hi! My name is Selena a first grade teacher who was born and raised in San Antonio. I’ve been working in the education sector for the past 6 years in South America and here in the United States. I enjoy working with kids and helping them learn through play, find their joy with reading and to allow their inner brilliance to shine through various creative crafts. I received my bachelors in Childhood and Special Education from NYU and my Masters in Responsible Management and Development from the University of Peace in Costa Rica. As a result of my 4 years in South America, I speak conversational Spanish and would love to continue practicing. I currently volunteer with Big Brothers Big Sisters and am apart of the Girl Scout Alum San Antonio chapter. I look forward to meeting your little ones and being a support to your family!

Booked by 3 families in Adkins, TX

Hi, my name is Colin Finerghty! I am 20 years old and I’m currently a rising junior at St. Edward’s University where I’m studying Digital Media Management. As the older brother of one younger sister, I have always been surrounded by kids, and I bring over three years of babysitting and nannying experience to families I work with. I have cared for both boys and girls ranging from ages 2 to 14, and I love creating a fun, safe, and engaging environment. I am a social, bubbly, and energetic person who enjoys connecting with kids to make every experience both memorable and enjoyable, whether it is for a one-time job or building long-term relationships with families. In addition to childcare, I bring over seven years of pet sitting experience. I have cared for a wide range of animals including cats, dogs, rabbits, hamsters, and more through both personal ownership and professional pet sitting. I enjoy giving animals the same attention, care, and affection I provide to children, and I always make sure they are comfortable, well-fed, and happy while in my care. I also believe in collaboration with parents to make sure I meet each child’s specific needs and routines. I am great at cooking, so I can prepare meals and snacks that kids will enjoy while still keeping them healthy. Safety is always my top priority, and I am CPR certified. Looking forward to meeting your family and pets!

Booked by 1 family in Adkins, TX

Hello my name is Selena and I am 21 years old. I am originally from California but I moved to San Antonio for college. I am currently a sophomore attending A&M University-San Antonio. I am offering child care, senior care, pet care, and household services. I am the oldest of three siblings and I when I was living at home I helped my mom with babysitting them when needed so I would say I have tons of experience with all ages. I also have experience babysitting elderly as my neighbor from back at home would pay me to watch her mother that was in her 80's. As for animals I myself own a cat along with a snake. My neighbors would hire me to feed their dogs and watch their houses while they were out of town so I also have experience with that as well.

Thanks for your help on such short notice, I appreciate Selena she was on time and asked great questions to assure she could provide the best care for my daughter! Would hire again 🩷
