Booked by 1 family in Bedford, TX

Hi, my name is Paloma! I am bilingual being fluent in Spanish as well! I moved from Houston, Tx in 2020 for college and now looking to finish my last year at UNT online. I am also currently in flight school pursuing my career in aviation as a pilot. My classes are flexible so I choose to take them in the early morning or late afternoon whatever works for my schedule. I have been working in child care for 5 years now serving all ages! During my time here I have been a live-in nanny for 2 different families now. The current family I work for has 3 wonderful kids ages 3-9 yrs, and will now be leaving them in the fall to move to Dallas to be closer to the city. I have reliable transportation, so commuting won't be a problem for me. I hope to find a family that is as adventurous and loving. Working with kids has taught me more about life skills than i've learned anywhere else, and being in this job has made me into the person I am today. I am so grateful to have gained such important attributes for my life. Their innocence and creativity make them important structures for this world and I am happy to be there to help them grow. I would love to hear from you! Feel free to reach out whenever!

“So nice and very respectable young lady. My son warmed up to her very quickly!”

I haven't been babysitting for long. I enjoy kids, I have fun playing games with them. I'm a kind person with a bubbly personality. I enjoy, singing, dancing, music, and theatre. Helping with childcare at my church was also a lot of fun.

Danielle $16 per hour for 1 child

My name is Daniela, I just moved to Arlington Tx from California. I have two sons of my own still in elementary. I have worked with seniors in an office setting for about 9 years fulltime. Occasionally I help on the floor as needed with caregiving. Currently I’ve have been missing the baby stages and was hoping I could fill my weekends with lending a hand to families. My availability is Friday night, Saturday and Sundays. I believe I have nurturing qualities and will to try and make a difference when I’m around. I’m reliable, punctual alongside flexible. I hope to bring peace of mind, trust, and relief when being around. Thanks!

Booked by 1 family in Bedford, TX

I am a 23 year old college graduate currently working full-time at a Title/Law Firm. Previously, I worked as a tutor at The Confidence Group in Dallas, TX, from February 2023 to May 2024, where I supported 3rd–8th grade students in Dallas ISD through personalized lesson plans, including specialized assistance for students with special needs. From June 2017 to May 2020, I served as a Youth Golf Instructor at The First Tee in El Paso, TX, teaching children golf skills and incorporating the organization’s Core Values, such as Integrity, Sportsmanship, Courtesy, Respect, etc. Eventually I was given the responsibility of helping to plan and lead sessions for different age groups within the program, but mainly focusing on the 3-5 year old and 7-8 year old age groups. In high school, I was in a STEM program that specialized in health care/medical fields which allowed me to work hospital rotations where I gained experience in basic levels of caregiving and crisis management. Additionally, I volunteered at the Ronald McDonald House Charities, providing support to families and participating in social service efforts. For the past three years, I have babysat for one family, assisting their child with schoolwork, and for the past four years, I have provided pet sitting services—mainly for dogs—for multiple families. I am also certified in CPR and First Aid.
