I love kids and pets. I’ve done lots of nannying from infants to teenagers, as well as tutoring. When it comes to pets I’ve also had lots of experience with all sorts of dogs and cats and I worked at a pet store for two years.

I'm a grandmother with many years of experience helping my children raise their children from infancy up to elementary school age. I have 4 grandsons and 1 grand daughter, so I usually have my hands full, but may occasionally be open to taking care of other children when my grand kids are out of town. Thanks for checking out my profile!

Booked by 1 family in Dripping Springs, TX

Hi! My names Morgan and I’m a 24-year-old caregiver with a genuine passion for working with children. I was a nanny for four years, which gave me experience caring for children of different ages and taught me how to be patient, responsible, dependable, and attentive to each child’s individual needs. I currently work as an assistant teacher at an academy school with children ages 18–24 months, but I have experience caring for children of all ages. I’m comfortable with infants, toddlers, and older children, and I love creating a safe, fun, and nurturing environment where kids feel comfortable and cared for. I’m patient, caring, reliable, and very attentive. I’m comfortable helping with meals, diaper changes, nap and bedtime routines, activities, homework, and keeping children engaged throughout the day. I am CPR/First Aid certified I truly love working with kids and would love the opportunity to be a trusted caregiver for your family!

“She is amazing! Attentive, caring, invested, knowledgeable, flexible, patient, and my kid absolutely loves her. She is like my kids second mom/aunt. She is closer to my kid than any other family member. We appreciate all the love the attention and the teaching she does for my child as well. My child calls for her. It’s bedtime. That’s just how much of an extension of the family she is.”

"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!"
