Hi I’m Zainab, a Public Health major at UTD with a strong background in childcare and child development. I provide attentive, high-quality care along with light household support. I have years of hands-on experience caring for children, from helping family friends to my current role as a behavior technician working with children with autism. I also tutor middle school students, so I’m skilled in balancing fun with structure, learning, and positive routines. I’m known for being patient, dependable, and easy to connect with. I prioritize creating a safe, engaging, and nurturing environment whether that’s through educational activities, creative play, or helping children stay on track with their daily routines. I’m also happy to assist with light housekeeping and meal prep to support busy families. I do have a mild cat allergy but can still comfortably be around them if needed.

Booked by 3 families in Lavon, TX

My name is Tigist but you can call me Mrs T. I am a proud mother of four wonderful children, two boys and two girls, with ages ranging from 27 to 11. Throughout my career, I have gained valuable experience working in multiple montosorri learning facilities and have CPR and EYFS certifications. While I have primarily focused on providing care for children under the age of five, I am open to caring for kids across various age groups. My attentive nature, quick learning abilities, and genuine enjoyment of caring for others make me well-suited for this role.

“Miss T has been with our family for more than half a year, Monday through Friday, taking care of our 1-year-old baby boy. She is a very responsible, reliable, approachable, and professional caregiver. Miss T is always on time, communicates well, and most importantly, our son likes her a lot. You can tell that she cares the baby. We are very grateful that we have Miss T taking care of our son!”

Hi families! I am a 28 year-old college graduate living in Plano. My mom was 1 of 20 children, so I have a lot of little cousins who I grew up around and helped care for. I have 13 years of paid babysitting experience. I've after-school nannied for two families with 8 and 5 year-old girls. I have experience with all ages of children, including: infants, toddlers, twins, multiples and special needs (ADHD and Down Syndrome). I'm comfortable changing diapers, bottle-feeding, rocking children to sleep, etc. I have a calm, patient and easy-going personality with a good sense of humor that allows me to connect well with kids. I enjoy meeting new families and would love to hear from you if I seem like a good fit!

“Megan was great with our two boys and two young dogs. She managed bedtimes, meals, crating dogs, and communicated throughout the evening. She was prompt, professional and a pleasure to work with. Highly recommended!!”

I have been professionally caring for children since October 17, 2017. I started occasional sitting until I started watching a 3 year old and 6 month old on a part-time evening basis and another part-time position on Saturdays for a 7 year old. I began a full-time teaching job for Dallas public schools as a first grade teacher in August 2018 but decided to return to nannying/babysitting. I have many 5 star reviews on the other two childcare websites and can give additional references for families where I cared for infants as young as 4 weeks old. I am a retired psychologist and worked with children throughout my 30 years of counseling. While this did not entail "caring" for children, it did require being able to talk to and understand them at a very deep level. Most of my experience with children has been to raise my own two who are now a paramedic and a public school teacher and I have been having my 3 grand children come visit with me on weekends from infancy to now. The eldest is 8 years old. I was a girl scout leader for 10 years when the girls were 5, until they were 15. I took them camping on weekends and on two trips, one out of state and one out of the country. I am definitely a fun babysitter and even bring my own board games, but I have no problem with limits and boundaries. I am very responsible. I am healthy and energetic and can get down on the floor to play with kids. I love to cook, especially healthy food. I am good with dogs & cats. I am a non-smoker and a former life-guard and have a accident/ticket free driver's license. Thank you for reading this.

"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!"
