Booked by 40 families in Allen, TX

Hi families! I am a 28 year-old college graduate living in Plano. My mom was 1 of 20 children, so I have a lot of little cousins who I grew up around and helped care for. I have 13 years of paid babysitting experience. I've after-school nannied for two families with 8 and 5 year-old girls. I have experience with all ages of children, including: infants, toddlers, twins, multiples and special needs (ADHD and Down Syndrome). I'm comfortable changing diapers, bottle-feeding, rocking children to sleep, etc. I have a calm, patient and easy-going personality with a good sense of humor that allows me to connect well with kids. I enjoy meeting new families and would love to hear from you if I seem like a good fit!

Megan was great with our two boys and two young dogs. She managed bedtimes, meals, crating dogs, and communicated throughout the evening. She was prompt, professional and a pleasure to work with. Highly recommended!!

Hello! My name is Andrea and I am 31, married, and half-way through my Biochemistry degree at UNT. I am offering pet care and household services. Pet care - I grew up with a Labrador/Golden Retriever named Sasha as our family pet. I have also had gerbils, fish, and ferrets throughout my life. I am familiar with the extra care needed for both exotic pets and those with BIG personalities. Household services - I am an excellent cook and can prepare a wide range of meals even with limited ingredients. I have no personal allergies, but follow a strict dietary regimen and am happy to prepare specialized meals from a variety of backgrounds. I am a cheerful, efficient organizer, cleaner, laundry/closet helper and am open-minded to all situations, especially ones with sensitive mental health issues.

Hi parents, My name is Roma and I love babysitting/dog sitting. I believe it’s important to take care of those who cannot take care of themselves. I have a big family and they’ve instilled important values and professional work ethics on me. I work in the medical field as a pharmacy technician. It’s a rewarding experience as I keep in touch with my patients occasionally , as you build long-lasting relationships throughout the months and sometimes years! I volunteer, as well through CERT. It’s an acronym for Community Emergency Response Team. We prepare/train fellow community members in what to do incase there is an emergency life-threatening situation. As you can see..I like to stay busy and keep my mind sharp. I look forward to meeting you and your family soon and hopefully building fun memories :]

Booked by 17 families in Allen, TX

Hello, I’m Aleehya — a compassionate and experienced childcare provider with over seven years of dedicated service supporting children from infancy through late adolescence. My background includes working as a Registered Behavioral Technician in ABA therapy, where I support children with autism and other developmental needs through structured, evidence-based behavioral interventions designed to help them thrive. I bring a nurturing, patient, and encouraging presence to every setting, whether I’m caring for infants with gentle routines, helping school-aged children with emotional and social development, or supporting teens with life skills and confidence-building activities. I’ve also served as an assistant teacher at my church for over two years, where I help lead lessons and provide a safe, positive learning environment for children of all ages. In addition to childcare, I also offer reliable pet care services for families — from daily support and overnight care to working with dogs and cats who have medical or behavioral needs. I am comfortable administering medications, managing dietary restrictions, and tending to pets with specific routines or health conditions. Whether supporting a child with sensory sensitivities or comforting a pet recovering from surgery, I approach each situation with empathy, attentiveness, and professionalism. My goal is always to provide peace of mind for families by creating a caring, structured, and uplifting space where both children and pets feel secure, valued, and understood.

Professional, communicative, reliable, and caring. Will definitely hire again.
