Hi there! My name is Maddie, and I'm a UT grad living in Austin, TX. I'm a certified English teacher, but have left the field to go back to school for design, leaving my schedule open to help your family! Although I'm not currently teaching, I have an extensive history working with kids to foster their creativity, kindness, empathy, and communication. I love sharing museums, parks, arts & crafts, swimming, writing, hiking, reading/library visits, and music with kids, and I'm comfortable and confident safely driving, cooking, and light cleaning. I'm also a dog mom and have experience assisting with any pet needs while you are away. I'm looking for occasional or part-time jobs in the Austin area and can be flexible with time. Please message me with any questions, I look forward to helping you and your family!
Hi!! My name is Claire and I’m a student at the University of Texas at Austin. I’m going to be a junior this upcoming year. I’m 20 years old and I’ve lived in Austin basically my whole life!! I love kids and pets and I babysit all the time. I’ve been a nanny before and I’ve also done occasional babysitting jobs and also occasional pet sitting jobs. I have 2 of my own dogs that I spend a lot of time with!! I also enjoy doing housework and am open to any tasks!
My name is Mariela and I have six years of child care experience from infant age to the age of five working with Hyde park child development center. Through my years of working in child development center we got some knowledge and training through childhood courses from infant to school age. I also received my CPR training and First Aid training. I am also a mother of an twelve year old. My passion is to care, and create bonds with children, and most importantly building strong relationships with families.
Hi, I’m Kaci! I offer babysitting for kids of all ages and senior care/companionship. I currently work remote full time but am available weekday late afternoon/evenings and any time on weekends. I have three years experience as a full-time nanny for three kids under four and I miss it so much! We spent most days exploring fun parks, visiting museums, doing arts and crafts, baking, and more. I also have several years of senior care experience, having worked as a medical assistant and a companion for Papa Pal, helping with appointments, walks, and daily tasks.
Howdy! I’m Ms. Cassie, and I have five years of experience and wonderful memories working with children. After graduating from UT, I found myself employed as a nanny, regular sitter, and now a full-time teacher at a small daycare. I love working with children of all ages; I primarily take care of little ones 3 months to 7 years. I am looking to supplement my income with regular or one-time sitting. I have experience with sibling groups, potty training, bedtime, cooking, and more. I love playing games and pretend, reading, sensory play, and building with different materials. Please contact me if you have any questions!

"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!"
Hillary S., parent
