Booked by 1 family in Allen, TX

Growing up with multiple yellow labs and now having a labrador mix of my own has made me a dog lover for life. I love walks, play time in the yard, or just lounging around with a friend! Experienced in administering medications and caring for dogs of all ages.

Myllene Plano
$16 per hour for 1 child

Hello, my name is Myllene. I come from a family of eight children, and as the firstborn, I developed strong caregiving skills from an early age by helping care for my younger siblings. This experience was not out of obligation, but from a genuine passion for supporting and nurturing others. Over the years, my love for working with children has continued to grow. I enjoy creating a safe, caring, and engaging environment where children feel comfortable and supported. I am patient, responsible, and attentive to each child’s individual needs. I would be honored to assist your family and provide dependable, compassionate care for your little ones.
