Booked by 20 families in Alvarado, TX

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.

My name is Leila! I am a Master's student at UNT pursuing my MBA in Organizational Behavior and Human Resource Management. I graduated from UT Arlington with a BA in Communication Studies, specializing in the organizational communication track. I currently work in Human Resources, but I am open to occasional babysitting roles and tutoring opportunities. In college, I was an avid volunteer across DFW with experience volunteering internationally and I love working with children. I was a nanny throughout college and loved my nanny families so so much. I've been a camp counselor, a band coach, and a committed volunteer through the service cohort of my leadership society at school. I have created long lasting bonds with my employers and have consistently created environments in my workplace that are inclusive, loving, and positive. Among my various volunteer experiences, a highlight I've had is working as a supplemental English teacher in the beautiful community of Jiquilillo, in Chinandega, Nicaragua, with GIVE Volunteers. In my work with children, I teach critical values to encourage positive mindset, creative thinking, and the exploration of new ideas. Those values are imperative for the youth of today and the global citizens of tomorrow. I have a very holistic approach to parenting! Reach out to me via private message for interview scheduling. I don't accept bookings without initial contact from the guardians. Open to occasional roles at this time. ***Please let me know if you have sick children prior to booking!*** Updated: 03/2026

She was absolutely wonderful with my cats! We hired her during our wedding weekend to bring our cats to the venue for some quick photos, and it was such a relief knowing they were being cared for by someone so kind and dependable. She kept us updated, took great care of the girls, and was incredibly patient (even when my oldest cat decided she wanted absolutely nothing to do with the plan 😅😂) She genuinely went above and beyond, and it was obvious how much she cared about making sure everything went smoothly and treating the cats with patience and gentleness. I’m so grateful for all of her help during such a busy and special time in our lives. I would absolutely trust her with my cats again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter!

I have worked with children for 20 years as an educator in and out of the classroom. I have worked with families providing childcare for 10 years. I am patient, kind and nurturing. I’m interested in what the kids are interested in doing. This ranges from legos to drawing and anywhere in between. I have worked with children aged from infant to 12 years old. I’m CPR and first aid certified. I take pride in giving parents time off knowing their little ones are well cared for.

Tamara came through in a pinch; she was punctual, polite, and great with the kids!

Hello- My name is Carmen I am currently a student at TCC. I am fluent in English and Spanish, I am offering my services with child care, pet care, senior care, as well as household services. I have been a babysitter as long as I can remember; not only for family and friends, but for families that need my services. I love being a babysitter and working with kids, I have experienced with all age groups from new born to 15 year olds. My responsibilities have ranged from driving kids to practices, grocery shopping, tutoring, crafts, etc. I am always open to pet care and senior care. Having 2 dogs of my own and taking care of my elders in my family, I have learned to be patient and learning to problem solve fast at my feet. I can also cook healthy and tasty foods and snacks. While always being up for a good challenge and obstacles that may arise!!

Carmen was wonderful! She was prompt, communicative, and the kids took right to her! She is a sweetheart with a heart for kids! My kids loved her :-)

Danielle $16 per hour for 1 child

My name is Daniela, I just moved to Arlington Tx from California. I have two sons of my own still in elementary. I have worked with seniors in an office setting for about 9 years fulltime. Occasionally I help on the floor as needed with caregiving. Currently I’ve have been missing the baby stages and was hoping I could fill my weekends with lending a hand to families. My availability is Friday night, Saturday and Sundays. I believe I have nurturing qualities and will to try and make a difference when I’m around. I’m reliable, punctual alongside flexible. I hope to bring peace of mind, trust, and relief when being around. Thanks!
