My mom was a caretaker for decades and I myself helped her over the years. I also worked at pet store and have been taking care of pets my whole life. I now work at a retirement home on the weekends. I’m able to cook, clean, help with homework, overall assistance, and any pets!

Sneha $15 per hour for 1 child

Hello! I am currently a fourth year medical student in San Antonio. I have 7+ years of babysitting experience. I also led science activities for elementary school aged students for 3 years and studied child development. I love taking care of kids. I am very patient, detail-oriented, and I would like to think fun! I also have dog-sit and cat-sit for 7 years now and used to work in a veterinary emergency room for 2 years. I used to have two cats myself and now I have one dog. I also am CPR certified.

Ale $25 per hour for 1 child

From a young age, I knew I had a heart for care. My journey into caregiving began in early childhood education, where I worked with infants and toddlers, nurturing their development during their most formative years. I quickly discovered a deep sense of purpose in creating safe, warm environments that supported not only physical care but emotional connection as well. As my experience grew, I was drawn to working with children on the autism spectrum. I took specialized training to better understand their unique needs and communication styles, and I found joy in celebrating every small milestone—whether it was a new word, a smile, or a moment of connection. My approach has always been patient, compassionate, and grounded in building trust. Alongside my work in childcare, I also found myself gravitating toward seniors care. Supporting elderly individuals—especially those facing isolation, dementia, or limited mobility—gave me the chance to offer dignity, companionship, and meaningful daily interactions. I’ve learned that caregiving at both ends of life’s spectrum requires many of the same values: empathy, patience, respect, and a willingness to truly listen. With years of hands-on experience across generations, I’ve come to appreciate the deep rewards of caregiving. Each person—whether a baby, a child with autism, or a senior—deserves to feel seen, safe, and valued. And for me, being able to provide that care is more than a job; it’s a calling.

"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!"
