Booked by 1 family in Carrollton, TX

Hello, My name is Andrea, and I am a 25-year-old who enjoys engaging with children. I have worked with kids practically my whole life, from working in a clinical setting with kids on the autism spectrum to running the Sunday school department at my local church. I am currently working towards my bachelor's degree in psychology. I am also bilingual (fluent in Spanish), which may be something the children would enjoy learning.

Sparkle $15 per hour for 1 child

My name is Sparkle. I was born and raised in Los Angeles, California, and moved to Texas with my family in 2014, where I completed my high school education. I currently own and operate my own hair business, which provides me with steady income and the flexibility to spend my time doing what I truly love—caring for others. Caregiving has always been a natural part of my life. I have extensive experience with infants and toddlers, having grown up surrounded by childcare from a very young age. My mother worked for a child care, and I often accompanied her to work, where I was able to observe loving, professional childcare environments and connect with children regularly. I also helped care for younger siblings, cousins, nieces, and nephews, and I have lovingly supported family and friends by babysitting their children over the years. Many of my close friends are parents, and I have been present in their children’s lives from birth, watching them grow and supporting them along the way. I also have experience providing compassionate care for seniors. Caring for my grandfather during hospice was a deeply meaningful experience that strengthened my patience, empathy, and emotional awareness. It taught me how important gentleness, dignity, and presence are when supporting someone through vulnerable moments. In addition, I have a lifelong background in pet care, having grown up with dogs my entire life. I am comfortable with feeding, walking, playtime, and offering pets the attentive, loving care they deserve. At my core, I am a deeply caring and attentive person. I am patient, kind, loving, and warm-hearted, and I take pride in creating a calm, safe, and nurturing environment where others feel seen, supported, and genuinely cared for.

*Not available to sit for sick (contagious) children* Having been on UrbanSitter close to its inception in 2014, I have over 25 years experience in childcare. I’ve worked with infants to 15-year-olds, and earned my certificate for early childhood development with the University of Oklahoma. I have worked in a nursery, as a teacher's assistant in an after school care program, as a nanny and mother’s helper. For over four years I was contracted by a sitting agency in Oklahoma and Dallas and was chosen twice as Sitter of the Month based on requests and family feedback. I am CPR and First Aid Certified. I am attentive to routines and guidelines while also connecting to kids with silly playtime. I am also very artsy and love to create things with kids, sing and make up stories and characters. Several families ask me back multiple times, and I look forward to meeting yours!

Booked by 25 families in Carrollton, TX

I am a reliable, enthusiastic, disciplined, and honest individual with a successful track record of working with kids of multiple different families through which I developed exceptional child care and needs management expertise. I am well versed in taking care of children between the ages of 5 months to 12 years. Specifically, I am very competent at: - Meal and snacks preparation and bottle-feeding infants - Bathing, dressing, and toilet-training children - Tidying up children's bedroom and play room - Keeping a vigilant eye on the children's activities, preparing them for school, helping them with homework and organizing their leisure activities Above all, I know how to keep the kids safe and amused in different healthy ways. I am also a very experienced pet sitter. I love animals very much and am very caring to the fur babies. I have mostly cared for large/small dogs and various breeds, such as German Shepherd’s, Labradors, an Old English Sheepadoodle, Golden Retrievers, Yorkie’s, and Dachshund’s. I understand your pets are important to you and they are to me as well. I am mindful of the needs of your pets and will treat them as my own.
