Luke $15 per hour for 1 child

Howdy! My name is Luke, and I'm a sophomore Kinesiology major at Texas A&M University. After undergrad, I'm looking to go to occupational therapy school to become a certified occupational therapist, preferably in pediatrics. I'm dependable, patient, and fun-loving, and I like keeping kids active and engaged whether that's playing games, being outside, or helping with homework and routines. I'm also CPR/AED and First Aid certified, so safety is always a priority for me. What matters most to me in a job is a parent who has clear expectations for what they want. I'm not afraid of direct standards, and at the end of the day, I'm here for you, whatever that need may be!

Monica Lorena $20 per hour for 1 child

I'm a very reliable, energetic and patient person. I'm originally from Colombia so my first language is Spanish but I know English. I have a lot of experience with kids. In my country I work as a teaching assistant for 3 years in a primary school, In USA I worked as an au pair for more than a year and for more than 4 years working for the same family with a neurodivergent kid. I have experience with kids from 6 months to 10 years and special needs kids too. I love kids and I feel very comfortable with them. Right now I’m looking for a nanny position in the morning since I’m going to school in the afternoon.

Ally Jo $15 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I'm Allyson Jo, or more commonly known as Ally Jo and I have over 10 years of experience caring for children ranging from infants to teenagers. I am CPR and First Aid certified and passionate about creating a safe, fun, and nurturing environment where children can learn, play, and thrive. My childcare experience includes multiple long-term nanny positions. I cared for a family with a 5 year old boy and 2 year old boy while also helping care for their dog. I also spent two years nannying for a family with a 6 year old girl and a 6 month old boy, along with their cat. These experiences taught me the importance of patience, adaptability, and building strong relationships with both children and parents! In addition to my freelance nannying, I am a high school volleyball coach, which has strengthened my leadership, communication, and mentoring skills. I am also currently studying sociology in college, where I enjoy learning about human behavior, relationships, and community. I also have three wonderful nephews (ages 3, 5, and 7) who keep me active and remind me how important creativity, energy, and kindness are when caring for children. Outside of childcare, I co-own a small business with my sister creating personalized hand-painted banners. Running our business has allowed me to express my creativity and develop strong organizational and communication skills. I love incorporating creativity into activities with children, whether that means arts and crafts, imaginative play, or fun hands-on projects. I'm a huge animal lover and previously worked at a doggy daycare, and regularly pet sit; so I'm very comfortable caring for pets alongside children. Whether it's helping with organizing activities, preparing meals, playing outdoors, or caring for family pets, I'm happy to support your family's needs. I pride myself on being reliable, responsible, and engaging, and I would love the opportunity to provide excellent care for your children and peace of mind for you.

Aerial 2 reviews
$14 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Aerial and I am a dependable, caring, and hardworking caregiver. As the oldest sister of 5 siblings from the ages of 2-17 I have a natural nurturing spirit. I have years of hands-on experience helping care for children of different ages. I enjoy cooking, cleaning, arts and crafts, providing homework help, and using my cosmetology skills for fun and creative activities. I am always willing to lend a helping hand and support families wherever I can to create a safe, positive, and supportive environment your children.

“I’ve had the pleasure of having Aerial babysit for my family, and I highly recommend her. She is dependable, caring, and attentive with children. From the very beginning, she was friendly, patient, and easy to communicate with, which made me feel comfortable trusting her with my child. Aerial does a wonderful job keeping children engaged, entertained, and safe. She follows instructions carefully, arrives on time, and handles responsibilities with professionalism and maturity. What I appreciated most was how genuinely caring she was. My child always enjoyed spending time with her and felt comfortable around her. Any family would be fortunate to have Aerial as their babysitter. She is trustworthy, responsible, and has a natural ability to connect with children. I would gladly have her babysit again and would confidently recommend her to other parents looking for reliable childcare.”
