Booked by 5 families in Sunnyvale, TX

Hi! I’m Alyssa, and I’ve worked with children for several years in both professional and caregiving settings. I’ve been a Registered Behavior Technician (RBT) for the past two years and have a total of six years of experience supporting children with special needs. I have also worked at a local summer camp for specials needs children in Richardson. I’m CPR certified and Safety Care trained, and creating a safe, calm, nurturing and fun environment is always my top priority. I genuinely love connecting with kids, learning their personalities, and helping them feel comfortable and cared for. I am looking to connect with a few families for babysitting in the afternoons after 3pm and on weekends, and I’d love to be a reliable, trusted support for your family 🤍

“Alyssa was amazing with our 4 year old son - he had so much fun with her! She was on time, professional, and did a great job of keeping him entertained. We’re still working on potty training him, and Alyssa was more than willing to help with that as well. Her RTB background is an added bonus since our son is on the spectrum. We will definitely hire her again.”

Hi! My name is gwennyth and i'm a college student here in Dallas. I have 2 dogs of my own and grew up with little brothers so I'm super familiar with both!

Pet care: Open to all breeds and sizes! My personal babies are a german shepard (3.5yo) and frenchie (1.5yo) so i'm well equipped. Household: Open to running errands, cleaning, organizing and very flexible with your needs. While I do offer to clean, that is not my primary job/interest so if that is something you're interested in, i'd appreciate if the supplies were available from you :)

"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!"
