"Amina came and helped us out when our babysitter canceled last minute. She was great with our kids. Even our 11 month old son who has stranger anxiety warmed up to her."

Migdalia $18 per hour for 1 child
Hello! I’m a college student pursuing a degree in education. I’m currently a teacher’s assistant at a preschool and have 4+ years experience in childcare. My approach is patient, creative, and friendly. I enjoy sparking curiosity through board games, puzzles, and educational apps. I am comfortable caring for one child at a time, ensuring personalized attention but can adapt to most circumstances. I also have experience with carpooling, light housekeeping, travel, and swimming supervision. I am trained in First Aid and CPR, and I have completed Early Child Development coursework. I always follow the parents' lead when enforcing household rules and communicating updates, using their preferred method.
Machelle $20 per hour for 1 child
Hi there! I am a mom of two grown kids. I'm prior service, 14 years in the Army, so safety, situational awareness, and reliability are second nature. I work from home in the renewable energy industry and travel on a quarterly basis, but I am looking to spend more of my free time doing something meaningful-supporting families and staying active. I'm also a dedicated pet parent with 4 dogs of my own, so I genuinely understand how much trust it takes to leave your fur babies or little ones in someone else's case. Whether it's keeping kids engaged and safe or making sure pets feel loved, I show up with patience, structure, and warmth. I'd love to help give you a piece of mind and keep your home running smoothly while you are away. Let me know who I can support your family.

My name is Ashley and I am offering child care. I have been caring for newborns, infants, toddlers, and kids since I was 18 years old. I worked as a babysitter during my college years, then cared for my own children and am currently an elementary teacher. I’m more than happy to also care for your pets.
“Amazing - on time and gave us an overview of his night. She’s great.”
Rachel $20 per hour for 1 child
I’m a 5th grade teacher in the Spring Branch area and I truly enjoy my commitment to service of academic and social learning for my students. When I am not teaching I enjoy spending time with family and friends. I have previously served as a nanny for 2 years for 3 wonderful boys age ranging from 1-12. I know that I can give this to your family and so much more!
