Sofia $15 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Sofia, I’m 19, and I’m a freshman at NVC. I’m currently working on my transfer to UTSA as a music major :) The services I offer are child care (preferably above the age of 5) and pet care. I prefer cats but I love dogs as well! I’ve been babysitting and pet sitting for as long as I can remember. I used to be acquainted with a dog breeder who paid me to supervise his puppies while he was on business trips, from when I was 8-13. When I was 12-17, I watched over my mother’s friend’s children (6 and 10) while they had girl time. My responsibilities have included feeding them, supervising them, helping with the occasional homework, and crafts. I can clean, cook simple meals, and run errands with appropriate compensation. The services I offer are child care (preferably above the age of 5) and pet care. I prefer cats but I love dogs as well!

Hailey $16 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Hailey, and I’m a dependable and caring caregiver based in San Antonio. I offer child care, senior care, pet care, and light household services. I have hands-on experience caring for young children, including my 2-year-old niece, who I spend a lot of time with and help care for regularly. Being around her has helped me become patient, attentive, and confident with toddlers and children of all ages. I truly enjoy working with kids and creating a safe, loving, and engaging environment for them. I also run my own nail technician business, which has strengthened my professionalism, time management, cleanliness, and attention to detail. Additionally, I come from a family-run business and am currently studying to become a medical assistant, giving me a strong understanding of responsibility, safety, and compassionate care. I’m reliable, trustworthy, and always treat families and their loved ones with kindness and respect.

"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!"
