Hi - I am a local mom and wife who would love to help families with occasional babysitting needs in my own home setting. My daughter is interested in learning the ropes of babysitting and will observe and assist me with care by being a good companion to your kiddo. We have a playroom for 6 and under, a high chair and booster chair, as well as a basinet, cradle, and bed for naps/sleep depending on the child's age. Meals and snacks are included at the direction of the parent. Please advise of any food allergies, or behavioral/medical concerns. We do not have pets in our home and offer a smoke-free environment.

Nurturing children's development is a true passion of mine, sparked by positive experiences in previous babysitting roles. I have three years of experience caring for children of all ages, from toddlers to teenagers. I hold a graduate degree and am comfortable caring for up to three children at a time. My approach is patient and friendly. I always follow parents' preferred communication methods and am comfortable enforcing household rules. I'm happy to prepare meals and engage children with fun activities, including outdoor sports, board games, and even educational apps. I am also certified in First Aid Training and CPR Training. I speak Arabic and Spanish in addition to English. Ultimately, I want to make a positive impact on your children's lives. I look forward to hearing from you!

Hi my name is Bernice and I am 25 years old. I am from San Antonio Texas but moved here because of the Army. I have been in for 7 years, but my job is currently at a clinic 4 days a week. I’m looking for a side job for occasions and weekends. I can drive and have a Toyota Corolla cross, but I have no car seats. I was a sitter for 2 families during COVID and did weekend and even baby sitting at my old duty station. My experience with these families was amazing because I got to help kids become active and enjoy being creative. I have experience with special needs children, helping with homework, and creating planning parties and hosting activities. One of my families that I baby sat weekly had 3 kids ages 2, 4, and 8. I have worked in the medical field for 7 years and have my CPR and first aid certificate that I must re-certify for every two years. Currently, I am in college and need 7 more classes to finish my bachelors degree in health sciences.
