Hello Austin families! I’m Alexa; I have been a caregiver since Highschool . I work as a caregiver and can help with house upkeep. I also take care of pets when families travel. For cleanings I need detailed housework list, size of home etc. For cleaning rates send a dm.
Hi there! I’m Nizmee L Acosta, and I’m confident that I’m an excellent caregiver due to my extensive experience working with children of all ages. My experience includes before-and-after school programs and daycares that specialize in children with autism. I’m also certified in Basic Life Support (BLS) and can provide documentation upon request. I love spending time outdoors with the children and engaging them in fun projects to keep them entertained. I now work part-time at the hospital, so I’m available to babysit during my days off and afternoons. I’ll take requests before my schedule is finalized. I also enjoy helping around the house while the kids are occupied with their homework and other activities. If needed, I can also assist with pet care. I own a car, so I can help with drop-offs and pick-ups whenever necessary.
“Nizmee was amazing with the kids! She took great care of them and went above and beyond by taking care of a few chores around the house - which was definitely not necessary but greatly appreciated. We look forward to having her back again soon and fully recommend her for any sitting needs!”
Hi! I’m Emilia :) a warm, responsible, and dependable caregiver who truly enjoys helping families. I have experience caring for children of all ages and love creating a safe, positive, and fun environment where kids feel supported and engaged. I’m patient, attentive, and naturally nurturing, and I take pride in being someone parents can trust. Child Care: I have experience caring for babies, toddlers, young children and school-age kids. I enjoy planning fun and enriching activities like crafts, reading, games, outdoor play, and creative projects. I’m also happy to help with homework, cook meals and snacks, and support daily routines like bedtime or getting ready for school. I love encouraging creativity and confidence in kids. Pet Care: I’m very comfortable around animals and have experience caring for pets. I can help with feeding, walking, playing, and making sure they feel cared for and safe. I’m comfortable with different sizes of dogs and cats.
I myself am a new mom! After years in corporate business I was laid off and turned to nannying for part time income during my transition. During that time I fell in love with nannying and it inspired me to start my own family. Now as I look into getting back into some part time work I would love to continue to help families. In addition to my passion for childcare,I am an active volunteer with Austin Angels providing caregiver support to foster children. I am CPR and First Aid certified for adults, children, and infants. I am also a certified Respite Caregiver with the State of Texas. I have completed trainings and a federal background check through the Department of Child Services. You can trust I will prioritize your child's safety and care. I am friendly, outgoing, and kind. I am gentle and playful in my interactions with all little ones. I love animals and also have 2 dogs that I care for. I've fostered several animals and am comfortable around different breeds and ages. I am trustworthy, helpful, and flexible with my ability to help your family.
“Rebecca took great care of our 3-month old! She communicates well and is on time.”
I'm a very patient, kind and loving person. I can definitely say I do get attached to my kids/families I’ve to worked with. I’m a big outdoors person. Love being active and go out with the kiddos, to playgrounds & libraries for example. I’ve been a nanny/babysitting for almost 8 years now and I have been a supportive teacher in the past as well. I have experience with kids from 4 months on till up to 12/13 years old. One of my longest experiences as a nanny was working with 2 boys for 3 years - which the youngest is a sweet boy that has autism. My most recent experience that’s coming to an end has also been an almost 3 years with them. It started with a 13 month old that is now almost 4. But then he had a baby sister that I started caring for when she was 4 months old and will be turning 2 soon and both will be in school at that point and they won’t be needing me for my full time hours anymore. Which is the only reason we’re ending our work relationship and I’m now looking for a new family to work for.

"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!"
