Hello! My name is Cecilia, but my students affectionately call me Coach. :) During my college years, I worked as an urban sitter. After earning my teaching degree, I’ve returned to assist families in need of childcare. Before becoming a certified P.E. teacher, I nannied for a family and have since become their date night sitter. I’m excited about the opportunity to connect with more families in Austin and share my knowledge and experience with them. In my free time, I enjoy weight training and taking my senior dogs for walks. I’m also a big foodie and love discovering new restaurants.

Welcome! My name is Velvet, and I am a 28-year-old residing in the vibrant Easton Park area of southeast Austin. With a bachelor's degree in Family Studies & Child Development, I bring over a decade of extensive experience working with children to the table. My journey began as a preschool gymnastics coach, transitioning seamlessly into a role as a dedicated preschool teacher. For the past eight years, I have immersed myself in the professional nanny and in-home childcare industry, where I've honed my skills and expertise. My passion lies in child development, and I am committed to implementing developmentally appropriate practices in all aspects of my work. I take delight in organizing engaging outings to parks, playgrounds, The Thinkery, and other enriching locations across Austin. Above all, I prioritize creating a safe and nurturing environment where children feel secure and supported. Tailoring my approach to meet the unique needs of each family I work with is my top priority. My ultimate goal is to cultivate positive and enduring relationships with the families I have the privilege of serving. I am excited about the opportunity to collaborate with you and your family, fostering growth, learning, and unforgettable memories along the way.

“Velvet is amazing! Definitely will use her again- my kids loved her.”

I’m a responsible, patient, and caring person who genuinely enjoys helping families and creating a safe, comfortable environment for children. I’m dependable, organized, and attentive, while still being fun and easygoing. I’m comfortable helping with daily routines, meals, homework, playtime, and keeping things tidy around the home. I’m also good at following instructions and adjusting to each family’s preferences and routines. I understand how important it is for parents to feel confident about who they’re leaving their children with, so I take communication, safety, and reliability seriously. I’d love the opportunity to support a family and make their day a little easier.
