Booked by 1 family in Arlington, TX

Hi, my name is Paloma! I am bilingual being fluent in Spanish as well! I moved from Houston, Tx in 2020 for college and now looking to finish my last year at UNT online. I am also currently in flight school pursuing my career in aviation as a pilot. My classes are flexible so I choose to take them in the early morning or late afternoon whatever works for my schedule. I have been working in child care for 5 years now serving all ages! During my time here I have been a live-in nanny for 2 different families now. The current family I work for has 3 wonderful kids ages 3-9 yrs, and will now be leaving them in the fall to move to Dallas to be closer to the city. I have reliable transportation, so commuting won't be a problem for me. I hope to find a family that is as adventurous and loving. Working with kids has taught me more about life skills than i've learned anywhere else, and being in this job has made me into the person I am today. I am so grateful to have gained such important attributes for my life. Their innocence and creativity make them important structures for this world and I am happy to be there to help them grow. I would love to hear from you! Feel free to reach out whenever!

So nice and very respectable young lady. My son warmed up to her very quickly!

I haven't been babysitting for long. I enjoy kids, I have fun playing games with them. I'm a kind person with a bubbly personality. I enjoy, singing, dancing, music, and theatre. Helping with childcare at my church was also a lot of fun.

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!

Rhonda $20 per hour for 1 child

Greetings! My name is Rhonda, I am a parent and a public school teacher with Arlington ISD. I have 25 years teaching experience, mainly in early childhood education and special education. I have a Master's in Special Education and have experience working with students who have physical, intellectual and emotional disabilities. I have training in trauma-informed parenting and teaching. As a parent and previous nursery worker, I have additional experience caring for children of all ages. I also have experience providing companionship and light physical care to elderly family members. I am also willing to do light tasks around the house and prepare simple meals for those I'm caring for. I love animals, so your pets would also be in good hands with me. I would love the opportunity to meet your family and answer any questions you have about the care I provide.
