Hi! I’m Alyssa, and I’ve worked with children for several years in both professional and caregiving settings. I’ve been a Registered Behavior Technician (RBT) for the past two years and have a total of six years of experience supporting children with special needs. I have also worked at a local summer camp for specials needs children in Richardson. I’m CPR certified and Safety Care trained, and creating a safe, calm, nurturing and fun environment is always my top priority. I genuinely love connecting with kids, learning their personalities, and helping them feel comfortable and cared for. I’m currently looking to connect with a few families for babysitting in the late afternoons and on weekends, and I’d love to be a reliable, trusted support for your family 🤍

Alyssa was amazing with our 4 year old son - he had so much fun with her! She was on time, professional, and did a great job of keeping him entertained. We’re still working on potty training him, and Alyssa was more than willing to help with that as well. Her RTB background is an added bonus since our son is on the spectrum. We will definitely hire her again.

Hello! I'm a Richardson native looking to help local families while earning a little extra income. I have a bachelor's degree from the University of Texas at Dallas and several years of experience working with children of all ages including infants through my time as a dance instructor. I'm happy to provide engaging, attentive care in your home, whether that means playing games, helping with homework, reading stories, or keeping little ones entertained. With your permission, I'm also happy to take children to a nearby park for some outdoor fun. I was recently married and have a dog and two cats, so I'm very comfortable around pets. I'm dependable, patient, and understand how important it is for parents to know their children are in caring and responsible hands. I look forward to meeting your family! Please note I do have an 8 am to 5 pm day job, so I will only be able to accommodate outside of these hours. A quick note about my reviews: You might notice I only have one review, and it's a few years old. That's because I took a break from babysitting while focusing on building my career after college. Rest assured, I've babysat for far more families than my profile suggests. The happy kids and relieved parents just weren't in the habit of leaving online reviews back then. 😊 I'm excited to be back and look forward to earning many more five-star reviews!

Kelley arrived before time and was really friendly. She walked my son to the park and he had a great time. I highly recommend her. Thank you Kelley!

I’m a mom first. I know how I would want someone to treat my child. I also used to be a kindergarten and first grade teacher. I love children and I love being able to impact their life in a positive manner. I really love reading and playing games with children.

$24 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Cassey. I’ve been supporting little ones along their developmental journey for almost seven years through two full-time nanny positions, along with experience as a lead 2’s teacher. I’m currently with one of my nanny families going on our fourth year together, and while I remain committed to them, I’m looking to pick up some additional part-time hours while their kiddo is in school. They are fully supportive and flexible with my schedule, and they would be more than happy to be contacted as a reference. I'm hoping to find some day time hours between 9:30am and 5pm one or multiple days a week. I’m also enrolled in online classes pursuing a degree in Social Work. My dream is to work with children in the foster care system—helping them find loving, safe homes and being a warm, steady, positive presence in their lives.

$20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Megan. I’m primarily looking for weekend babysitting opportunities—date nights, weekend plans, events, or whenever you need an extra set of hands! I work a full-time corporate job Monday–Friday, so weekends are when I’m most available. I’ve been caring for children for 15+ years and was a full-time nanny during the summers throughout college. My first childcare roles started when I was 12 years old. I’m comfortable and experienced with children of all ages and genuinely love spending time with kids. I’m happy to help with sports practice pick-ups and drop-offs or games (I love sports!), date nights, weekend sitting, and even overnight weekend care when needed. I can also prepare meals and snacks for the kids and help keep their routines running smoothly. I love being active and taking the kids out to fun adventures and activities. I’m very comfortable supervising children in and around pools. I’m a strong swimmer and have spent many summers enjoying pool time and keeping kids safe while they swim and play. I’m also open to watching multiple families’ children together if you have an event or outing that you’d all like to attend. For group childcare events, I’m happy to work out a set price that works for everyone, depending on the number of children, hours, and event details. I have reliable transportation and I do not smoke. I have a clean background check and driving record. I am active and have the energy to keep up with the kids. My CPR/First aid certification is expired, but I am happy to get an updated one. I’m dependable, patient, responsible, and flexible, and I’d love to become a trusted babysitter your family can count on!
