Grace $20 per hour for 1 child
Hi! My name is Grace, and I’m a 19 year old at Baylor University. I have always loved caring for children and plan on taking a career path in Psychology for adolescents. I grew up with a special needs brother, so I am very familiar on how to take care of a child with special needs. I am looking forward to helping out with you and your family!

Laura $30 per hour for 1 child
Hi, I’m Laura! I work in the Texas Medical Center and have plenty of experience caring for children, including helping my mom raise my younger siblings. I’m responsible, patient, very organized and efficient, and always happy to help with whatever your family needs to create a safe, fun, and caring environment. I have one younger brother and one younger sister that I was my mom’s right hand in supporting raise. One of my first jobs before working in the healthcare field was working at Babies ‘R Us, where I would lead children’s events and work with parents caring for their young ones. I love the outdoors, reading, and history. I'm available for date nights, weekends, and I'm always happy to care for pets too. Thank you for taking the time to read my intro. Excited for the opportunity to work and build relationships with your family! Happy to discuss anything further or answer any questions.

I know that I can give this to your family and so much more!
