I have been professionally caring for children since October 17, 2017. I started occasional sitting until I started watching a 3 year old and 6 month old on a part-time evening basis and another part-time position on Saturdays for a 7 year old. I began a full-time teaching job for Dallas public schools as a first grade teacher in August 2018 but decided to return to nannying/babysitting. I have many 5 star reviews on the other two childcare websites and can give additional references for families where I cared for infants as young as 4 weeks old. I am a retired psychologist and worked with children throughout my 30 years of counseling. While this did not entail "caring" for children, it did require being able to talk to and understand them at a very deep level. Most of my experience with children has been to raise my own two who are now a paramedic and a public school teacher and I have been having my 3 grand children come visit with me on weekends from infancy to now. The eldest is 8 years old. I was a girl scout leader for 10 years when the girls were 5, until they were 15. I took them camping on weekends and on two trips, one out of state and one out of the country. I am definitely a fun babysitter and even bring my own board games, but I have no problem with limits and boundaries. I am very responsible. I am healthy and energetic and can get down on the floor to play with kids. I love to cook, especially healthy food. I am good with dogs & cats. I am a non-smoker and a former life-guard and have a accident/ticket free driver's license. Thank you for reading this.

Hello, My name is Nina, and I hope that I can assist you and your family! I mainly am providing household services, but I am open to assist in other areas. I have over 2 years of experience working as a personal/office assistant and household manager. I also have experience in child care and pet care. I started babysitting at the age of 11, and I worked in the nursery of my church. I would also pet sit at times. I hope that you will consider me and allow me to become an asset to your family. Thank you, and I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Nina is a doll, very reliable, kind, personable and does a great job! She has been out to my house twice now to clean my wood blinds (32 windows) and some of them were caked with grease and dust. She did a terrific job in getting the grease and dust off of them. They actually look brand new. Thank you, Nina!!

Laura $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I have a passion for working with animals, children, and helping families with house cleaning. I have 8 years of experience as a professional pet groomer and 2 years of experience working with children with special needs in elementary and junior high. Through those roles, I've developed a lot of patience, flexibility, and strong communication skills. I'm hard of hearing and wear a cochlear implant, which allows me to hear very well. I'm also fluent in ASL and comfortable working with children or adults who use sign language. I enjoy creating a safe, positive, and structured environment where kids can thrive. Whether it's helping with homework, engaging in fun activities, caring for pets, or keeping a home tidy, I take pride in being dependable and trustworthy. I'm happy to provide references upon request.
