Hi! I’m Luyanda, a reliable and caring caregiver from South Africa currently living in Houston, Texas. I have experience as a full-time au pair caring for a toddler, helping with daily routines, meal preparation, educational play, and creating a safe, nurturing environment. I’m patient, responsible, organized, and enjoy working with children. I also offer light housekeeping, pet care, meal preparation, laundry, and running errands.

Arial $18 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Arial and I currently work from home part time which gives me plenty of availability to provide reliable and attentive childcare. I went to college for engineering and grew up playing the violin, soccer and cheer so I can help out and apply skills in different ways! I have hands-on experience caring for children of various ages. I have helped watch and raise my best friend’s two children since they were born; they are now 4 and 5 years old. Throughout college, I also cared for a 9-year-old, including picking her up from school, taking her to the park, preparing meals, and helping keep the home tidy. I genuinely enjoy spending time with children and creating a safe, fun, and supportive environment for them. I am responsible, patient, and attentive, and I’m comfortable helping with daily routines and light household tasks related to child care. I am comfortable working with families who have dogs (I have a small very kind and friendly dog myself).

Hello families! My name is Ella, I'm a recent Class of 2025 Dulles High School graduate. I also, just started my first semester of college right here in Sugar Land. I have enjoyed providing babysitting services throughout my high school career & look forward to continuing to do so now that my schedule is more flexible. I love working with children of all ages! I enjoy finding activities that suits each child's individual personality & exploring creative outlets together. Art, puzzles, games & even homework, etc we'll always find something to make our time together enjoyable. I'm happy to work as a household assistant and run errands, clean up & offer organizational skills if needed, house sitting & pet care. I have a cat & a dog at home myself!

Ava $17 per hour for 1 child

Although I currently don't have professional caregiving experience, I am a friendly and patient college-educated individual who is certified in First Aid/CPR (adult & pediatric) and is in the process of becoming a certified clinical medical assistant. I look to enjoy supporting families by providing attentive, reliable care for children between 6 months - 12 years old. I'm happy to engage your children with board games, puzzles, and educational activities if needed. I like to meet children where they're at, so if your child favors a more energizing personality, then I can do that, or if they favor a more calm persona, then I can do that as well. I will follow your lead on household rules and communicate updates using your preferred method. I am very comfortable with pets if any are present; light housekeeping and light meal preparation is something I'm willing to help with too.
