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.

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.
