My name is Brooklyn; I moved to Texas from out of state. I am currently an accounting manager for a nonprofit. I am available for after-work and weekend childcare. While living in San Diego, CA, I babysat for several families. I did after-school pickup and drop off at sports for two siblings for one family, and then I did weekend babysitting for another family with two siblings. In addition to babysitting, I assisted in teaching summer dance and cheer programs for three years, I took a couple of child development classes in high school and college, volunteered to help a preschool class a few times a year at the preschool my mother worked at, and nannied a 1-year-old for a year. I also help my sister with her 6 year old twins. I have extensive knowledge of everything Disney does, know a bit about sports, and am up-to-date on kids' shows. I'm fun and energetic and love to be active and engaging. *For pet owners, please inform me if you have a cat. I am deathly allergic.*

Brooklyn was great we look forward to having her again!

Hi! My name is Karina, and I’m a caring, responsible, and energetic babysitter with a genuine love for working with children. I have 5 years of experience caring for kids of all ages, from infants to pre-teens. Whether it’s helping with homework, organizing fun and educational activities, or simply being a positive and attentive presence, I always strive to create a safe, nurturing environment where children can thrive. I prioritize safety and communication with both kids and parents, and I understand how important it is to have someone trustworthy looking after your little ones. When I’m not babysitting, I enjoy going for walks, exploring Austin, painting and crafts, and I love bringing that creativity and energy into the time I spend with children. I look forward to meeting your family and supporting your child’s happiness and well-being!
