Booked by 4 families in Stafford, TX

Hi! My name is Jackeline, but everyone calls me Jackie. I am currently a freshman in college and I am offering child care and dog care services. I love babysitting and have been caring for infants and toddlers since I was around 10–13 years old. I have lots of hands-on experience and truly enjoy working with children. If needed, I can also tutor elementary school students. At the moment, I do not drive, but I will always be dropped off at any location provided. I am happy to help with cooking, light cleaning, organizing, or any small tasks you may need assistance with. I am the oldest of three siblings, which has given me a strong understanding of how to care for children, stay patient, and handle different situations. I also have two dogs that I care for regularly, so I am comfortable with feeding, walking, and general pet care as well. I am responsible, caring, and always willing to help however I can. I look forward to supporting your family!

“Jackie was one of the best sitters I’ve had in ages- not only were my kids well taken care of but she tidied up after the children around my house while waiting on me to get back which was so appreciated”

Booked by 3 families in Stafford, TX

Hello my name is Deanna. I am a mother of 4. I have worked at Sugar Creek Baptist and Elsik Ninth Grade Center in the past. I have 18+ years of experience working with children. The keys to successful relationships with children is encouraging/guiding them, modeling good behavior and listening to them. I am also an experienced caregiver as I have cared for my own Father and Mother. I believe everyone is deserving of respect and I have experience working with people of all different cultures, religion, and ages.

“Amazing sitter. Positive and uplifting energy with very high morals. Not only did she help me with taking care of my child while I was recovering from my procedure, she was wonderful and very caring helping take care of me as well. My child connected well with her as well.”

"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!"
