Madeline $18 per hour for 1 child

Hi there! My name is Maddie, and I'm a UT grad living in Austin, TX. I'm a certified English teacher, but have left the field to go back to school for design, leaving my schedule open to help your family! Although I'm not currently teaching, I have an extensive history working with kids to foster their creativity, kindness, empathy, and communication. I love sharing museums, parks, arts & crafts, swimming, writing, hiking, reading/library visits, and music with kids, and I'm comfortable and confident safely driving, cooking, and light cleaning. I'm also a dog mom and have experience assisting with any pet needs while you are away. I'm looking for occasional or part-time jobs in the Austin area and can be flexible with time. Please message me with any questions, I look forward to helping you and your family!

Sarah $18 per hour for 1 child

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.
