Brianna $20 per hour for 1 child

Howdy! My name is Brianna, and I am a 23-year-old San Antonio area local! I am a newlywed as of April and am looking for something to cure my post wedding baby-fever, which is why I am so happy that my family has recently welcomed two beautiful babies via my brother and sister, giving me even more recent infant care experience. Below you will find a little more information about me as a caregiver. Since I became an aunt at 8 years old I have loved working with kids, and have an extensive childcare background. From babysitting throughout high school to working as a babysitter and nanny this past year, I have had great experiences with the families I have worked with. I graduated from UT Austin in 2023 with a bachelors in Deaf education and a minor in American Sign Language. During my time in college I focused intently on child development, especially in language and social/emotional learning. These experiences were both through curriculum and hands on experience as an intern at Texas School for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing. There I was able to be a part of both a Preschool and Elementary STEM program. Since relocating to San Antonio I have also been able to work as a kindergarten/special education teacher at a local San Antonio charter! From my experience in the childcare, education, and food service industries I am a well rounded childcare provider! I worked in a professional setting for almost two years with kiddos ranging from 6 weeks - 6 years. I specialized in infant/toddler care during my time at the child development center, and was able to see so many children grow into fun-loving toddlers! I am adult, pediatric, and infant CPR/AED/First Aid trained not to mention that I also currently have an EvenFlo Pivot stroller and car seat, so I would not need one from you (if necessary) unless you have a preferred brand! Not to mention that as a former professional kitchen worker, I have a Food Handler’s certification as well, so I would be more than happy to help with baby-led weaning if you are interested. Excited to hear from you soon! :)

Ale $25 per hour for 1 child

From a young age, I knew I had a heart for care. My journey into caregiving began in early childhood education, where I worked with infants and toddlers, nurturing their development during their most formative years. I quickly discovered a deep sense of purpose in creating safe, warm environments that supported not only physical care but emotional connection as well. As my experience grew, I was drawn to working with children on the autism spectrum. I took specialized training to better understand their unique needs and communication styles, and I found joy in celebrating every small milestone—whether it was a new word, a smile, or a moment of connection. My approach has always been patient, compassionate, and grounded in building trust. Alongside my work in childcare, I also found myself gravitating toward seniors care. Supporting elderly individuals—especially those facing isolation, dementia, or limited mobility—gave me the chance to offer dignity, companionship, and meaningful daily interactions. I’ve learned that caregiving at both ends of life’s spectrum requires many of the same values: empathy, patience, respect, and a willingness to truly listen. With years of hands-on experience across generations, I’ve come to appreciate the deep rewards of caregiving. Each person—whether a baby, a child with autism, or a senior—deserves to feel seen, safe, and valued. And for me, being able to provide that care is more than a job; it’s a calling.

"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!"
