Makenzie $18 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name’s Makenzie, I’m 21 years old and I absolutely love working with kids. Over the past three years, I have worked with two different families that each had two children under 4 years old. Both of which have given me the ability to understand early childhood development and manage multiple children at once while still providing care and attention to each child. Outside of work, I enjoy camping, traveling, fishing, serving in church and spending time with family. Building a strong bond with not only your kids but the whole family is so important to me! I have a big heart for animals as well so if you have pets, that’s a bonus for me! I am CPR certified and I do have my own vehicle. If you have any more questions feel free to ask. Thank you!

Hi! My name is gwennyth and i'm a college student here in Dallas. I have 2 dogs of my own and grew up with little brothers so I'm super familiar with both! Child care: Open to all age ranges; I love arts and crafts and can help with homework/tutoring. I myself like to keep myself busy with stimulating games or arts and crafts. Pet care: Open to all breeds and sizes! My personal babies are a german shepard (3.5yo) and frenchie (1.5yo) so i'm well equipped. Household: Open to running errands, cleaning, organizing and very flexible with your needs. While I do offer to clean, that is not my primary job/interest so if that is something you're interested in, i'd appreciate if the supplies were available from you :)

"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!"
