Caring for others has been a natural part of my life for as long as I can remember. As the oldest of three siblings, I learned early on how to nurture, support, and create a sense of safety for them. That instinct only deepened as I raised my two daughters, help care for my three grandsons, and spend over eight years working in a childcare environment. Several families have personally entrusted me with their child outside the childcare environment. I am currently a preschool teacher, and I truly enjoy going to work each day. Supporting children as they learn, grow, and express themselves is something I genuinely love. I have also had the privilege of caring for my mother during her journey with early-onset Alzheimer’s. That experience strengthened my patience, compassion, and ability to show up with steadiness during difficult seasons. Whether caring for children, seniors, or pets (I’ve never met one I didn’t connect with)! I bring warmth, reliability, and heartfelt attention to every family I work with. I would be honored to provide thoughtful, personal care whenever it’s needed.

I am a mother of four (kids range from 9 to 19 in our house) and I've worked for the last 8 years as a postpartum doula supporting babies and mothers as the family expands and transforms.

Hi! My name is Karina, and I’m a caring, responsible, and energetic babysitter with a genuine love for working with children. I have 5 years of experience caring for kids of all ages, from infants to pre-teens. Whether it’s helping with homework, organizing fun and educational activities, or simply being a positive and attentive presence, I always strive to create a safe, nurturing environment where children can thrive. I prioritize safety and communication with both kids and parents, and I understand how important it is to have someone trustworthy looking after your little ones. When I’m not babysitting, I enjoy going for walks, exploring Austin, painting and crafts, and I love bringing that creativity and energy into the time I spend with children. I look forward to meeting your family and supporting your child’s happiness and well-being!

Patients and care is key to being a caregiver and I provide just that. With a heart for children and wanting the best for their health and growth. Providing attention to detail from taking note of any important details of child’s health or needs.

Hello Families, My name is Tommie and I am originally from Austin, Tx. I am a very energetic grandmother of 5 active boys, having 12 years experience taking care of them, ages 5, 7, & 9, 10 and 12. My favorite way to teach, connect, and support children is through reading and story telling, art, play, and nature discovery. I avoid screens when children are present. I truly believe children learn best when they feel safe, engaged, and are having fun. I am patient, responsible, and a natural caregiver. I enjoy taking care of all ages but recently was hired as a sitter for a 9 month old and oh how precious that experience was. I practice conscious language with children and am a very present listener. I encourage healthy food and conscious screen time including television content. I do not use my phone unless it is to communicate with you. I don't use any scented laundry products nor do I wear fragrances, make-up, or long fingernails. If you are looking for a sitter in alignment with natural healthy values, I’m your sitter. I am personally very health conscious with a daily ashtanga yoga and meditation practice, swim regularly at Barton Springs, and bike the trails. I enjoy cooking and gardening having had an organic farm in Louisiana when I was raising my children and cooked professionally in New Orleans. I am a massage therapist and heart centered mind set coach. Being a vegetarian, non drinker and non smoker, I am happy to say that I have no limitations or medical issues. I have a BFA in interior design from UNT and love all art activities with children. I am also available for light vegetarian cooking, pet care and housesitting. I have been pet sitting for Trusted House sitter for the last 5 years and enjoy taking care of both cats and dogs. As far as senior care, I took care of both my mother and father in their final years. I am a nurturer at heart and it is my gift to care for others. In Gratitude, Tommie aka Shanti
