Booked by 1 family in San Antonio, TX

Hello my name is Selena and I am 21 years old. I am originally from California but I moved to San Antonio for college. I am currently a sophomore attending A&M University-San Antonio. I am offering child care, senior care, pet care, and household services. I am the oldest of three siblings and I when I was living at home I helped my mom with babysitting them when needed so I would say I have tons of experience with all ages. I also have experience babysitting elderly as my neighbor from back at home would pay me to watch her mother that was in her 80's. As for animals I myself own a cat along with a snake. My neighbors would hire me to feed their dogs and watch their houses while they were out of town so I also have experience with that as well.

Thanks for your help on such short notice, I appreciate Selena she was on time and asked great questions to assure she could provide the best care for my daughter! Would hire again 🩷

Booked by 7 families in San Antonio, TX

I'm a funny bubbly person, who loves kids. Ever since I was a little kid probably about five or six, my friends grandma said that I would end up working with kids, because at all the gatherings we went to I would always end up taking care of the younger kids. I have about ten years of experience babysitting kids that aren't my younger siblings or cousins. I have babysat kids of all different types of personalities and ages.

Lesleigh arrived early and was very attentive.

Booked by 14 families in San Antonio, TX

Hello my name is Samantha (26) and I am a UTSA graduate of 2021. I have a Labrador retriever who loves to play. On my free time I like to relax and spend time with family and friends. On the side I am a freelance filmmaker. I work on film sets for feature and short films as grip, gaffer, or camera crew. My services include babysitting and dog care. While babysitting I like to play with the kids, have dance parties, and watch their favorite tv show or movie. One of my favorite things about babysitting is getting to know the child and making a connection with them. I really enjoy spending time with the kids I babysit and making them feel safe while parents are out. If you have any further questions please feel free to message me.

Samantha was amazing, my son loved her ! We will be working with her again

"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!"
