Iyonna $15 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Iyonna and I love working with kids! I’m graduating in May and looking to work for money to go towards college. I have worked with kids frequently in the past 2 years when volunteering and with family. I’m most used to working with kids 4 and up, but I’m open to younger. I have a Yorki and I primarily care for him so I’m comfortable with animals. I am also comfortable with household tasks as my parent works a lot so I routinely take care of tasks around the house.

Kamaria $23 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m Kamaria, a dependable, caring, and energetic caregiver with extensive experience working with children. I currently work in an elementary school within HISD, where I interact with children of different ages, personalities, and needs every day. My experience in education has strengthened my patience, communication skills, organization, and ability to create a safe and positive environment for children. I truly enjoy working with kids and making sure they feel comfortable, supported, and engaged while in my care. I’m happy to help with playtime, homework, reading, meals, bedtime routines, and other age-appropriate activities. I can also assist families with light household tasks such as cooking, washing dishes, tidying up, and dog walking. Families can expect me to be responsible, professional, attentive, and respectful of their household routines and expectations. I understand that trusting someone with your children is a big decision, and I take that responsibility seriously. My goal is for parents to feel comfortable knowing their children are in caring and capable hands while they are away. I’m available for date nights, evenings, weekends, special events, and occasional babysitting needs. I look forward to meeting families and becoming someone they can confidently call when they need an extra helping hand!

Booked by 1 family in Cypress, TX

I’m a devoted mother of four and grandmother of four, happiest when I’m surrounded by family — especially my grandkids. As a certified chef from the Art Institute of Houston, I love bringing creativity to the kitchen and sharing good food with the people I love. Outside of cooking, gardening is my peaceful escape, where I enjoy planting, growing, and connecting with nature.

“Ivalyn was wonderful, amazing sitter i would highly recommend”

Booked by 1 family in Cypress, TX

Hi - I’m Aileen and I am currently offering babysitting, and pet sitting services! I have grown up around a lot of children and animals so I am not unfamiliar with either. Throughout high school I worked with a lot of children of many different ages and backgrounds. I am a responsible and caring sitter for any nights out or any occasions!
