Emma $15 per hour for 1 child
Hi! My name is Emma, I am a senior at Texas State studying elementary education! I adore kids and have been a nanny during summers since high-school. I can drive and have a car so errands or taking kids places is no problem. I am also a animal lover, the more pets the better!! And I am always happy to help clean/pick up the house :)
Selena $15 per hour for 1 child
Hi! My name is Selena a first grade teacher who was born and raised in San Antonio. I’ve been working in the education sector for the past 6 years in South America and here in the United States. I enjoy working with kids and helping them learn through play, find their joy with reading and to allow their inner brilliance to shine through various creative crafts. I received my bachelors in Childhood and Special Education from NYU and my Masters in Responsible Management and Development from the University of Peace in Costa Rica. As a result of my 4 years in South America, I speak conversational Spanish and would love to continue practicing. I currently volunteer with Big Brothers Big Sisters and am apart of the Girl Scout Alum San Antonio chapter. I look forward to meeting your little ones and being a support to your family!
