Hello! My name is Tajah. I have been substitute teacher for about 5 years and will be starting on my teacher certification soon.

I have also worked with a young lady who was wheel chair bound and couldn't do pretty much anything by herself.

Booked by 1 family in Desoto, TX

Hi I'm Aishah! I’m a Dallas native with several years of babysitting experience. Throughout high school and college, I babysat young children, gaining hands-on experience caring for their daily needs, keeping them safe, and creating a fun and positive environment! I also worked as a Tumbling Instructor & Cheer Coach, where I trained young athletes in strengthening and tumbling skills, provided private one-on-one instruction, and helped coach elite all-star cheerleading teams. This experience strengthened my patience, communication, and ability to adapt to each child’s individual needs and personality. I genuinely enjoy working with children and love helping them learn, grow, and build confidence! I’m attentive, responsible, and enthusiastic, and I understand the importance of creating an environment where children feel safe, supported, and encouraged. Whether it’s helping with activities, keeping kids engaged, or simply being a dependable presence for a family, I bring a caring and positive attitude to everything I do :)

“On time & Very flexible in scheduling. My daughter engaged with her in a positive way so that’s always a good sign. ”

"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!"
