Megan Plano
$20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Megan. I’m primarily looking for weekend babysitting opportunities—date nights, weekend plans, events, or whenever you need an extra set of hands! I work a full-time corporate job Monday–Friday, so weekends are when I’m most available. I’ve been caring for children for 15+ years and was a full-time nanny during the summers throughout college. I’m comfortable and experienced with children of all ages and genuinely love spending time with kids. I’m happy to help with sports practice pick-ups and drop-offs or games (I love sports!), date nights, weekend sitting, and even overnight weekend care when needed. I can also prepare meals and snacks for the kids and help keep their routines running smoothly. I’m very comfortable supervising children in and around pools. I’m a strong swimmer and have spent many summers enjoying pool time and keeping kids safe while they swim and play. I’m also open to watching multiple families’ children together if you have an event or outing that you’d all like to attend. For group childcare events, I’m happy to work out a set price that works for everyone, depending on the number of children, hours, and event details. I’m dependable, responsible, and flexible, and I’d love to become a trusted babysitter your family can count on!

Growing up with multiple yellow labs and now having a labrador mix of my own has made me a dog lover for life. I love walks, play time in the yard, or just lounging around with a friend! Experienced in administering medications and caring for dogs of all ages.

I am a dedicated and nurturing caregiver with extensive experience working with children of all ages. Having worked in professional caregiving facilities with children 9 months - 5 years old, I have honed my skills in creating a safe, fun, and educational environment for young children. My background in child development education ensures that I understand the unique needs and developmental stages of young children. I have extensive work experience with children that have behaviors and mental health concerns building relationships and ensuring everyone is safe. Additionally, I have hands-on experience caring for my own nieces and nephews, further enhancing my ability to provide loving and reliable care. I am passionate about supporting children’s growth and well-being. I have a natural calming energy that loves to be creative, active, and goofy at times all while ensuring those around me are safe and knowing they are accepted and cared for.

Amazing job taking care of my beautiful baby girl! Please book her!

Sparkle Dallas
$15 per hour for 1 child

My name is Sparkle. I was born and raised in Los Angeles, California, and moved to Texas with my family in 2014, where I completed my high school education. I currently own and operate my own hair business, which provides me with steady income and the flexibility to spend my time doing what I truly love—caring for others. Caregiving has always been a natural part of my life. I have extensive experience with infants and toddlers, having grown up surrounded by childcare from a very young age. My mother worked for a child care, and I often accompanied her to work, where I was able to observe loving, professional childcare environments and connect with children regularly. I also helped care for younger siblings, cousins, nieces, and nephews, and I have lovingly supported family and friends by babysitting their children over the years. Many of my close friends are parents, and I have been present in their children’s lives from birth, watching them grow and supporting them along the way. I also have experience providing compassionate care for seniors. Caring for my grandfather during hospice was a deeply meaningful experience that strengthened my patience, empathy, and emotional awareness. It taught me how important gentleness, dignity, and presence are when supporting someone through vulnerable moments. In addition, I have a lifelong background in pet care, having grown up with dogs my entire life. I am comfortable with feeding, walking, playtime, and offering pets the attentive, loving care they deserve. At my core, I am a deeply caring and attentive person. I am patient, kind, loving, and warm-hearted, and I take pride in creating a calm, safe, and nurturing environment where others feel seen, supported, and genuinely cared for.
