Hello parents, My name is Ana, 30 yo and currently looking for an occasional babysitting position. Originally from Brazil, I have been living in the US for seven years and worked as an Au pair and nanny during this time. I’m comfortable with the kids routine, playdate, meal prep, bath and bed time. I am very flexible and would consider myself easygoing and organized. I love to be outdoors and organize fun and safe activities. Also it’s important to mention that I am non-smoker and love animals. I am looking forward to hear from you! Thank you, Ana

Hi there! My name is Sarah, and I’m a recent UTSA graduate with a BS in Biochemistry. I am a current medical assistant and applying to PhD programs for Fall 2026 to investigate disease mechanisms, particularly with Type 2 Diabetes and Obesity. As the oldest of five, I’ve been taking care of little ones since they were babies. Outside of family, I’ve had hands-on experience as young as 3 years old, and I’ve also provided tutoring for high school students. Whether it’s helping with homework, playing games, reading stories, or organizing fun activities, I create a safe, nurturing, and enjoyable environment for your child. I’m BLS/CPR certified, can cook, and I’m comfortable with household tasks. I’m well-versed in caring for animals as I have a cat of my own and occasionally watch over family friends’ pets (most being 4 dogs small and large and 1 cat), making me the perfect option for families with pets. If you’re looking for someone responsible, caring, and fun, I’d love to meet your family!
“Great! Highly recommend ”

Hi! My name is Flor, I am 28 years old, and I have been caring for children since high school. I have experience with kids from 3 months to 12 years old, and I truly enjoy spending time with them. I was previously an Au Pair and I am currently working as a nanny. I have CPR and First Aid certification, I have a valid work permit, and a driver’s license. I am a very loving, patient, and responsible person. I like to create a safe, fun, and positive environment where children feel comfortable and happy. I can help with homework, play activities, and daily routines, including diaper changes, bottle feeding, and all baby-related care. I can cook a variety of meals for the children and I am also comfortable preparing meals for the whole family. I also help with children-related tasks such as laundry, washing and folding clothes, and keeping their spaces clean and organized. I always follow parents’ instructions carefully and make sure everything runs smoothly. I would love to support your family and take great care of your children! ☀️🌷🌻
“She has done an excellent job caring for twins, showing great patience, organization, and attentiveness. Managing two children at the same time requires responsibility and experience, and she handles it very professionally. She is reliable, punctual, and always attentive to the children’s safety and individual needs. She creates a caring and fun environment while maintaining routines and staying calm under pressure. Her ability to multitask and provide quality care to both children at once truly reflects her skills and professionalism as a babysitter.”
