Hello! I’m Miss Nonette. I have over 20 years of experience working with children, from infants through school age, including children with special needs. My background includes preschool teaching, Montessori education, childcare, and reading tutoring. I especially enjoy helping young children build confidence and develop strong early reading skills. I use a patient, nurturing approach and enjoy creating engaging learning experiences based on each child’s individual needs and developmental level. I am Montessori certified and First Aid/CPR certified, with experience supporting children with developmental differences. I am available for occasional childcare, reading and homework support, school pickup, and other family needs that fit my availability. I also have experience providing care for seniors and adults with special needs. I speak English and Tagalog. I am allergic to cats and prefer homes without pets, although I may consider well-trained dogs, birds, or fish. I truly enjoy seeing children learn, grow, and become more confident. I look forward to getting to know your family and learning how I can help!

Hello I’m Amber, a mom of 2, and I have a lot of experience working with kids 6wks-teens as a former director/owner/ educator of a licensed daycare home for over 7 years. I chose a different career path after covid but I really love kids in my core. Over the past 27yrs, I have also worked at recreation centers, 24-hr daycares, non-profits for daycare accreditation, Head Start & ECI (Early Childhood Intervention) I understand different parenting styles, living arrangements, so there's no judgement, just quality care, and the need to go with the flow of life. I'm a basketball mom as well so I figured I give this a shot too lol. I have some free time to play outside of my current part-time position and would love to help you parents out.
Hiii ! My name is Abbie and I’m 19 years old, I’m from Washington DC but moved to Texas when I was around 12 !! I love children so much and am in school to be a pediatric nurse !! I’ve been taking care of my baby brother on my own since I was around 10 and I help teach children church at my church on Sundays !
“Such a sweet and welcoming soul. My 5 year old was my main concern since he has separation anxiety, he felt so comfortable and welcomed when I came home he said “I didn’t cry cause she was so nice”. Abbie gave constant communication and very professional. ”
