Randi $20 per hour for 1 child

I am 33 years old with 3 credentials and a masters. I currently teach at the middle school level. I was a fully time nanny for 8 years. I have been a camp supervisor at a country club. I have been watching children since I was 16 years old and ranging from new born to 13. I love kids and can’t wait to be a mom myself one day. I just moved to Austin from San Diego where I still had reoccurring baby sitting jobs. I’m also happy to do some light house work. I love dogs and am fine with most animals. I’m fine with multiple kids no matter the age. I’m a great cook and can cook dinner for the kiddos if needed.

Estefani $22 per hour for 1 child

I have a lifelong affinity for children, and have focused my career on providing safe and nurturing environments for them. I am currently pursuing a degree in Psychology, with an eventual goal of specializing in Child Psychology. As the oldest sibling of three, I have personally worked with children for many years, and have worked in this field professionally for the last three years. My background focuses on children from 7 months to 11 years of age, and I am particularly skilled with toddlers, as I was an assistant teacher in daycares and provided care for one family's toddler for over a year.

Alec $16 per hour for 1 child

Hello - My name is Alec, I am a graduate from Texas State University with a degree in Exercise sports science with a concentration in Pre - Rehabilitation. Following graduation in 2018, I decided to put off further schooling and have spent the last several years continuing at where I had started to excel before college, in providing value as a swim coach. I have coached for several different swim teams and am a fairly experienced athlete myself, but what I pride myself in is my patience working with all ages and ability levels of whatever I may be teaching, watching over, or even learning(from those who love to share their minds and ideas). I have continued in this path for so long because helping and guiding others where I can appropriately provide guidance or support is genuinely fulfilling to me, and I am more inclined by nature to do so. I have recently stopped coaching and have plans to grow my own private swim lessons during the warm seasons, and during the cold season I am seeking other work opportunities where I can best put my talents, skills, and experiences to good work for others whether coaching, teaching, tutoring, or caregiving.
