Hi im Mal! I’m a University of Houston psychology pre-med student on the path to becoming a pediatrician. I’ve babysat for 4 years, love working with kids, and am great with pets (I have a dog of my own!). I’m CPR certified and hold a Medical Assistant certification. I’m patient, responsible, and genuinely enjoy creating a safe, fun, and supportive environment for families.
Hi! My name is Dani and I’m a responsible, caring, and energetic babysitter with a genuine love for working with children. I graduated with a minor in child development. Whether it's helping with homework, organizing creative activities, or just making sure your child feels safe and happy, I’m always focused on creating a positive and nurturing environment. I am comfortable handling routines like meals, bedtime, and school drop-offs/pick-ups. People would describe me as reliable, patient, and creative. I’m also CPR/First Aid certified and committed to keeping your child safe and supported at all times. Looking forward to meeting your family!
Hi! My name is Sophie and I’m a senior in high school with a few years of babysitting experience, starting my freshman year caring for children of family friends and teachers. I’ve worked with a wide range of ages, from infants as young as 9 months old to teens up to 13, so I’m comfortable adapting to different needs, routines, and personalities. I’m very hands-on and love keeping kids engaged, active, and having fun!! Whether that’s playing outside, doing crafts, helping with homework, or coming up with creative activities. I always try to create a positive and safe environment where kids feel comfortable and excited to spend time together. I’m responsible, dependable, and patient, and I understand how important it is for parents to feel confident leaving their kids with someone they trust. I’m also good at balancing fun with structure, making sure routines, rules, and any instructions you leave are followed. Overall, I genuinely enjoy working with kids and building connections with them, and I always aim to make babysitting a fun and positive experience for everyone! Please reach out!
I'm a mother of 2 smart children, I love motherhood and to encourage kids to be the best they can be. I have experience with kindergarten children as a teacher assistant in Orlando, FL. I'm a professional business administrator, working to become a certified teacher here in Houston, TX. I can take care of your little ones, help with light housekeeping, grocery shopping, crafts, swimming supervision, remote learning, errands, after-school classes, and laundry. I have my own vehicle. I like every step of children's development and have the patience to listen, understand and clarify any doubts that they have. Kids are smart and they understand loving advice from grownups. I speak fluent English and Spanish.
