Hello! I am a former teacher and have extensive experience caring for children of all ages, including newborns. As a Mom of three grown children, I strongly believe in being proactive by providing guidance and positive support in age-appropriate and developmental level-appropriate activities, with an emphasis on growing and learning. My manner is calm and patient, with a focus on confidence building, clear communication, and fun! I am at all times aware that children model what adults do and say (both negative and positive!) I treat children with respect and kindness, without exception; I see mistakes as an opportunity to stop and gently learn the correct way. Each day should be filled with enthusiasm, positive energy, and lots of smiles! While nannying for a family, I strictly follow the parents' rules and guidelines, and work very hard to accomplish their expected outcomes for the child/children. I believe communication with parents, via phone, texts, pictures, videos, is very important. And I am at all times aware of and respect a family's privacy. I feel very comfortable (and love!) caring for newborns and infants; feedings (breast milk and formula); baby food preparation; frequent diaper changes, nap times, new stimulations through reading, music, toys, walks, outings, etc. For older children, my experience includes morning and bedtime routines; meal preparation and serving; school / lesson drop-offs and pick-ups; tutoring; homework supervision; play date supervision; screen time monitoring; learning through reading, music, crafts, outdoor play, library, museum and playplace visits, etc. I also have experience in almost every aspect of household assistance; grocery inventory and shopping (including searching several stores for that one special item!), meal prep, laundry, cleaning, etc. Additionally, I am now available for pet care / sitting. I am a “grandma” to a beautiful Siberian Forest cat and two adorable Pomeranians; I miss them whenever I am away! Thank you, and I look forward to hearing from you!

I am a 28 year old. I have a degree in fashion merch and marketing. I love nature, reading, cooking, and sewing. I have many years of child care experience, I am an aunt of 4 nieces and nephews, who are from the ages of 4 to 12. Also have raised my little sister from newborn to 3yrs. I also love pets and very nurturing and patient when it comes to caring for others. I have extensive knowledge when it comes to taking care of kids and pets. I really love caregiving because it allows me to play an important role, have fun and enjoy the simple things in life again. God fearing, so I can assure you that your child or pet is in good hands and will not be mistreated by any means! Thanks for the consideration!

Hi - My name is Ahnesty and I'm currently a sophomore at UST. I am offering child care. I love being a babysitter and have been watching newborns, infants, toddlers, and kids since I was 10 years old. My responsibilities have included driving to/from school, helping out with homework, outdoor activities. I also can cook, clean, and run errands.

Ahnesty was amazing! My boys really enjoyed her. She was very helpful and professional. Can’t wait to have her back!

Hi! My name is Jayda and I'm originally from San Antonio, but I'm currently attending the University of North Texas! I have plenty of experience with both children and pets! I have a younger sister and baby cousin that I often babysit and love to provide care for. Additionally, I also worked as a camp leader in multiple church ministry's working with kids from K-8th grade. Back home in San Antonio I had two dogs and a cat I took care of, and currently own one cat here in Denton. I also have experience working in a veterinary clinic as a kennel technician. Another fact about me is that I am CPR and First Aid certified and I am trained in how to handle emergency situations, so not only will I provide the best care and support but I can also ensure that your children and/or pets will be safe! I am looking forward to working with you, feel free to reach out to me with any questions or concerns you may have!
