Luke $15 per hour for 1 child

Howdy! My name is Luke, and I'm a sophomore Kinesiology major at Texas A&M University. After undergrad, I'm looking to go to occupational therapy school to become a certified occupational therapist, preferably in pediatrics. I'm dependable, patient, and fun-loving, and I like keeping kids active and engaged whether that's playing games, being outside, or helping with homework and routines. I'm also CPR/AED and First Aid certified, so safety is always a priority for me. What matters most to me in a job is a parent who has clear expectations for what they want. I'm not afraid of direct standards, and at the end of the day, I'm here for you, whatever that need may be!

Booked by 4 families in Alvin, TX

Hi! My name is Jackeline, but everyone calls me Jackie. I am currently a freshman in college and I am offering child care and dog care services. I love babysitting and have been caring for infants and toddlers since I was around 10–13 years old. I have lots of hands-on experience and truly enjoy working with children. If needed, I can also tutor elementary school students. At the moment, I do not drive, but I will always be dropped off at any location provided. I am happy to help with cooking, light cleaning, organizing, or any small tasks you may need assistance with. I am the oldest of three siblings, which has given me a strong understanding of how to care for children, stay patient, and handle different situations. I also have two dogs that I care for regularly, so I am comfortable with feeding, walking, and general pet care as well. I am responsible, caring, and always willing to help however I can. I look forward to supporting your family!

“Jackie was one of the best sitters I’ve had in ages- not only were my kids well taken care of but she tidied up after the children around my house while waiting on me to get back which was so appreciated”

Booked by 1 family in Alvin, TX

I come from a large family with lots of cousins, of which I am the oldest girl. I have helped raise many children, and have two children of my own. I have many years of experience, deep cleaning and organizing, as well as had employment at a learning center in Baytown for two years. I worked with ages 6 months to 12 years, and I have been CPR certified for adults, children, and infants. I have a passion for caring for others, and I absolutely love animals. I have cared for rodents, fish, cats, and dogs in the past, and currently have a two year-old mixed breed puppy who I trained myself.

“Xoe is an absolute sweetheart. She has a passion for helping people. She's gentle, caring and thoughtful and that's EXTREMELY important.”
