Paige Irving
$20 per hour for 1 child

I am a 23 year old college graduate currently working full-time at a Title/Law Firm. Previously, I worked as a tutor at The Confidence Group in Dallas, TX, from February 2023 to May 2024, where I supported 3rd–8th grade students in Dallas ISD through personalized lesson plans, including specialized assistance for students with special needs. From June 2017 to May 2020, I served as a Youth Golf Instructor at The First Tee in El Paso, TX, teaching children golf skills and incorporating the organization’s Core Values, such as Integrity, Sportsmanship, Courtesy, Respect, etc. Eventually I was given the responsibility of helping to plan and lead sessions for different age groups within the program, but mainly focusing on the 3-5 year old and 7-8 year old age groups. In high school, I was in a STEM program that specialized in health care/medical fields which allowed me to work hospital rotations where I gained experience in basic levels of caregiving and crisis management. Additionally, I volunteered at the Ronald McDonald House Charities, providing support to families and participating in social service efforts. For the past three years, I have babysat for one family, assisting their child with schoolwork, and for the past four years, I have provided pet sitting services—mainly for dogs—for multiple families. I am also certified in CPR and First Aid.

Booked by 2 families in Southlake, TX

Hi! My name is Marcela, and I have nearly 3 years of childcare experience as an Au Pair and nanny in the United States. I have cared for children of different ages, helping with school drop-offs and pick-ups, homework, meal preparation, after-school activities, and creating a safe, fun, and positive environment. I am responsible, patient, organized, and caring. I enjoy encouraging children to be active, creative, and confident. I also have experience caring for pets, including dogs and cats, and I am comfortable assisting with light household tasks. I have a valid driver’s license and experience safely driving children to school, sports practices, camps, and other activities. I am bilingual in Spanish and English, which allows me to communicate effectively with families from diverse backgrounds and even help children learn a second language if desired. Families describe me as trustworthy, dependable, and attentive. My goal is to provide a safe, nurturing, and supportive environment where children can learn, grow, and feel happy every day.

punctual and very friendly. Would love to have Marcela come again

$20 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 2 families in Southlake, TX

Hello families! My name is Ciarra, and I bring over 10 years of childcare experience, starting with helping care for children in my own family from a young age. Now as a proud mom to my 17-month-old son, I understand even more deeply how important it is to find someone you can truly trust with your little one. I love engaging children through arts and crafts, creative play, and fun activities that encourage learning and exploration. My approach is gentle, patient, and nurturing, always focused on making kids feel safe and cared for. Along with childcare, I’m happy to assist with light household tasks such as tidying up, grocery shopping, or meal prep to help make your family’s day run a little smoother. You can count on me to be reliable, understanding, and flexible. Whether you need occasional help, consistent care, or last-minute support, I’ll provide the same level of love and attentiveness that I give my own child. As a mom myself, I know what it feels like to leave your child in someone else’s care — it can be exciting but also nerve-wracking. That’s why I take my role so seriously. I want every parent I work with to feel peace of mind knowing their child is not only safe, but happy, loved, and engaged while they’re with me. I also know how busy family life can get! Sometimes having an extra set of hands makes all the difference, so I’m more than happy to help with day-to-day things like light chores, errands, or grocery shopping. My goal is to support your household in a way that makes life easier, while giving your child a positive and caring environment. At the end of the day, I truly see this as more than just babysitting — it’s about building trust and being someone you can count on. I’d love the opportunity to meet your family and be a dependable part of your support system. I look forward to meeting you all ❤️ FYI I offer pet feeding or sitting/drop in's and dog walking. anything extra I can do to help I am willing

We had a wonderful experience with Ciarra. She was great with our kids. She was very attentive and caring with them. Having her son join us was a great plate date for our little one as well. We will definitely work with Ciarra again if we need help watching our kids!
