Hi I’m Ezra! Taking care of little ones (whether they have 2 feet or 4 paws) has been a joy of mine since I was a teenager. I always volunteered to watch my teachers kids after school/during the summer and I eventually was asked to do more and get paid for it as well! This included pet and house sitting for extended periods of time/during long vacations. My love for caring comes from I my experience with my 4 nieces and nephews (2 of each) and they range in age from kindergartener to college sophomore. I helped my sister raise/co-parent my youngest niece and nephew while she was going through a tough time and it really opened my eyes and my heart to wanting to continue caring for others in any way possible! I’m an Early Childhood Educator and after school art teacher so I have all my proper licensing through both the state of Texas and Austin ISD and have passed several rounds of background checks; first aid training; and adult, child, and infant BLS + CPR certifications. During the school day my focus is on preparing kiddos (ages 6 weeks-5 years) for elementary school through a play-based curriculum with a focus on social-emotional learning and self-regulation. At my after school job we focus on helping kids be Creative Artists, Critical Thinkers, Confident Leaders and Courageous Allies in the 21st century through various arts curricula so I have a ton of arts and crafts activities in the back of my pocket suitable for ages 1-101! I love being able to bring creativity to children and helping them explore what they are most drawn to while also empowering them to be the leaders of our future. Feel free to ask me any questions you may have and I’d be more than happy to answer them ASAP!
“Ezra went above and beyond to help us out on a last minute same day request! My 6 year old had a wonderful time and Ezra was a terrific companion for my son’s high energy companionship requests! :) Ezra is a truly kind and gentle soul. Thank you!”
Hi there! I’m a responsible, caring sitter with experience babysitting throughout college and a genuine love for working with kids. I hold an undergraduate degree in elementary education and originally began my career in teaching, but made a career shift about 5 years ago and transitioned into the corporate world. I currently work full-time, but I’m available for date nights, evenings, and weekends and do my best to be flexible when I can. My background in education gives me a strong foundation in child development, structure, and engagement—whether that’s helping with homework, creating fun activities, or supporting consistent routines. Parents can count on me to be reliable, punctual, and communicative, and I always aim to create a safe, fun, and positive environment for kids. I’m excited to reconnect with babysitting families and provide trustworthy care whenever you need an extra set of hands!
Hi - My name is Kara! I’m 29 years old and I've been working with kids since I was 16 and absolutely love it. I’ve been in a nanny-share since 2021 and just recently said goodbye to my little ones who started preschool. I took care of them since they were three months old and now they are two and half years old. I’m now in a new nanny-share and taking care of a four month old and a five month old. I love being a nanny but recently have missed the babysitting experience. I love coloring, puzzles, playing pretend, and watching Disney movies with the kiddos. * at this time I’m currently not taking on any new families.
“She was extremely communicative and very sweet, highly recommend!”
Hi all! I am a native austinite who just recently moved back to the area. I have been babysitting/ nannying off and on since I was a teenager. I love taking care of children; specifically getting to know their different personalities, likes, and dislikes, and encouraging their imagination as much as possible. Please feel free to ask me any questions! Thank you! : )
Hi! I'm Angelina and I'm a 31-year-old nanny in Austin, Texas. I have over 15 years of experience providing babysitting services for dozens of families with children varying in age from 3 months to 12-years-old. I have also spent time volunteering with Autism Ambassadors, Special Olympics, and Building Connections, all organizations aimed at helping children with special needs. I'm very involved in the theater and comedy scene here in Austin which I believe bleeds over into my babysitting style. I love stimulating creativity in children! Doing art projects and putting on skits with kids brings me as much joy as it brings them. If you want to know anything more about me, please don't hesitate to reach out!
“Angelina is a BABY WHISPERER! She is a dream. She arrived on time, was a pleasure to have around, and it was pretty clear from the jump that she is a PRO. I couldn't recommend her highly enough!”

"We were incredibly grateful that Maya was able to help us out with a last-minute childcare emergency. She matched our 9-year-old's energy with arts & crafts, some quiet reading, and a walk around the neighborhood. We'd have Maya back in a heartbeat!"

"We used Tania for a last minute emergency. She responded very quickly. My daughter seemed to enjoy herself. My son napped most of the time. I enjoyed how she kept me updated by text."
