Hi! My name is Claire and I graduated SMU in 2022, and am now at SMU again getting my Master’s degree. I love reading, baking, and camping with my friends when I have time. I’m the oldest child in my family, so I grew up taking care of my younger siblings; in addition I’ve worked at summer camps, taught art classes, and have been a tutor for elementary and middle school kids, so I can help with homework when needed.
Hi! my name is Meila. I’m currently a junior at SFASU getting my bachelor degree in Social work. I’ve been working in childcare for about 5 years now. I’m currently a Pre-K teacher at merit children’s academy. I have been babysitting my former students for about a year now. I love being around my kiddos, helping them learn, giving them love and watching them grow! Most of my experience are with 4s and up but i am open to any age. I’m a pet lover (dogs) so i am comfortable being around them. I also can do any household work that is needed (:
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!”
Hello, my name is Melody. I have several years of hands-on childcare experience, including caring for my younger brother since infancy. This has given me strong experience with infants and young children, including daily routines, supervision, and creating a safe, structured environment. I am patient, responsible, and dependable, and I truly enjoy supporting children’s growth and development. I am also willing to assist with light housekeeping and household organization.
