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!

Caring for others has always come naturally to me. Whether it’s looking after kids, helping seniors feel supported, or making sure pets feel loved, I believe everyone deserves kindness and patience. I’m dependable, attentive, and great at creating a warm, safe environment. I also enjoy keeping things organized, preparing meals, cleaning, and making daily life a little easier. Most of all, I love building real connections and making people feel valued, comfortable, and cared for.
Hi! My name is Kate! I am a passionate, loving, and outgoing person. I love to be outside, spend time with friends and family, and swimming. I have a lot of experience in child and animal care. My first experiences included working at summer camps and church camps with kids. Since then, I have been babysitting on and off for about 3 years. I have cared for kids and animals all shapes and sizes, I love them all! I am a great candidate to care for your kids and animals because I am very loving and always try to help the kids be comfortable and have a fun time!

"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!"

"We used Tania for a last minute emergency. She responded very quickly. My daughter seemed to enjoy herself. My son napped most of the time. I enjoyed how she kept me updated by text."
