I am a certified educator, with certifications to teach Prek-6th grade. I have accumulated over 500 hours of professional development courses, along with completing the Reading Academy (60 hours). I taught elementary for 11 years before resigning to stay at home with my amazing daughter. I am looking for a part time job dealing with children, pets, and/or housekeeping!
Hi my name is Kailen and I’m currently a full time college student at San Jacinto. I offer child care, senior care, pet care, and household services. I love being around people and meeting new people, I have been around kids my whole life and helped take care of infants to pre-teens. My responsibilities have included driving to and from school, crafts, and really good tutor. I can cook, clean, and run errands. I have been a care taker for my grandparents before they passed away, I helped them workout, eat, walk, take blood sugar and they had cancer and dementia. I also love dogs so I wouldn’t mind pets.
Hi, my name is Ariel and I’m currently a substitute teacher for K-12 graders. I am offering childcare and household service. I love being a babysitter! I have been watching newborns, infants, toddlers, including twins since I was 14 years old. My responsibilities have been to feed, cloth, tutor and help with sports. I enjoy completing household chores on my spare time. I like to be very organized. I prefer not to cook, but I can drive to and from doctor appointments, school or etc. I am allergic to cats but happy to work with families with dogs that aren’t aggressive.
Hello! I am a responsible, patient, nurturing, and dependable individual who genuinely enjoys creating a safe, fun, and positive environment for kids. Not only did I grow up taking care of my younger cousins & nephew, but I have been babysitting for the past 6 years. I also have experience mentoring elementary school students in underserved communities, which has strengthened my communication, leadership, and problem-solving skills.
I'm a very reliable, energetic and patient person. I'm originally from Colombia so my first language is Spanish but I know English. I have a lot of experience with kids. In my country I work as a teaching assistant for 3 years in a primary school, In USA I worked as an au pair for more than a year and for more than 4 years working for the same family with a neurodivergent kid. I have experience with kids from 6 months to 10 years and special needs kids too. I love kids and I feel very comfortable with them. Right now I’m looking for a nanny position in the morning since I’m going to school in the afternoon.

"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!"
Hillary S., parent
"We used Tania for a last minute emergency. She responded very quickly. My daughter seemed to enjoy herself. My son napped most of the time. I enjoyed how she kept me updated by text."
