Deja $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Deja, and I'm a dependable, patient, and energetic caregiver with several years of experience working with children of all ages. I previously worked as a kindergarten teacher and have also coached youth basketball, which has strengthened my ability to create a fun, structured, and safe environment for kids. I'm currently a Doctor of Physical Therapy student, so I have a strong understanding of child safety, health, and development. I am CPR and First Aid certified and enjoy engaging children through games, outdoor activities, arts and crafts, reading, sports, and homework help. Families can count on me to be reliable, communicative, and attentive while making sure their children feel comfortable, supported, and cared for. Whether you need occasional date-night care or a consistent sitter, I strive to provide a positive experience for both children and parents.

$21 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 4 families in Richardson, TX

Hi! My name is Tiara, and caring for children has been part of my life for many years. I’ve been around children of all ages from infancy through school age, which has helped me develop a patient, nurturing, and attentive approach. I have professional experience in daycare and early childhood programs, where I focused on creative play, fine motor activities, and age-appropriate routines. I also previously worked in a pediatric urgent care, supporting children and families and strengthening my ability to stay calm, reassuring, and attentive in fast-paced situations. I’m CPR certified and value creating a safe, engaging, and comfortable environment where children feel supported and at ease. I’m primarily available evenings after 3:30 PM and anytime on weekends, and I enjoy helping families with date nights and occasional care.

Cassandra $24 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Cassey. I’ve been supporting little ones along their developmental journey for almost seven years through two full-time nanny positions, along with experience as a lead 2’s teacher. I’m currently with one of my nanny families going on our fourth year together, and while I remain committed to them, I’m looking to pick up some additional part-time hours while their kiddo is in school. They are fully supportive and flexible with my schedule, and they would be more than happy to be contacted as a reference. I'm hoping to find some day time hours between 9:30am and 5pm one or multiple days a week. I’m also enrolled in online classes pursuing a degree in Social Work. My dream is to work with children in the foster care system—helping them find loving, safe homes and being a warm, steady, positive presence in their lives.

"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!"
