Ersh $15 per hour for 1 child

Hi there! My name is Ersh and I am a Houston native born and raised. I currently work full time at an eye clinic here in the River Oaks area. I received my undergraduate from Avila University (Kansas City) in Biology in 2020. I love being a baby sitter and helping those in need. I have experience in working with newborns, infants, toddlers, and young teens. My responsibilities in the past have included cooking, cleaning, helping with homework, crafts, activities, taking kids from afterschool activities, and taking them to parks and recreational centers. I have been a care taker of my own siblings, cousins, and friends kids in the past and am very confident and comfortable with all age groups. I have taught Sunday school at a church when I was living in Kansas City for my undergrad. I do have experience with elderly care as I have lived with my elderly grandparents for a couple years in Kansas City while attending and finishing my undergrad. I love both cats and dogs and have had experience taking care of pets as I am a cat and dog owner myself!

Juanita $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I'm Juanita, a dependable, compassionate, and organized caregiver with over 28 years of professional experience in customer service, education, administration, and childcare. Although I work full-time in accounting, caring for children and supporting families has always been a passion of mine. I began babysitting early in adulthood and have experience in daycare centers, charter schools, private childcare, and as a teacher aide, caring for children from infancy through high school. I enjoy creating a safe, nurturing, and fun environment where children can learn, grow, and thrive. I can assist with homework, meal preparation, age-appropriate activities, bedtime routines, transportation, and light childcare-related housekeeping. I am bilingual in English and Spanish and am seeking part-time evening and weekend opportunities as a babysitter, nanny, or family assistant. My goal is to become a trusted, reliable extension of your family, providing dependable care and giving parents peace of mind.

Taylor $15 per hour for 1 child

I began working with infants, toddlers, and children at the age of 15 for a MDO program, I eventually became a nanny and worked at Texas lions camp with special needs children. I love being there to support individuality, independence, and creativity. My senior care experience comes from the 2 years I helped care for my great grandmother after her Alzheimer’s diagnosis when I was 14. My specialty as far as care is working with children with autism. I also have extensive experience with various disabilities after working at Texas lions camp doing 24/7 care for a summer. I was a live in nanny for a school age boy for 2 years. I worked as a nanny for 3 school age kids (ages 6-14) for a year. As a nanny I was responsible for school pick-ups, meal prep, errands, as well as general childcare.

"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!"
