$19 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 3 families in Merit, 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!
