"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."

Cassandra $20 per hour for 1 child
I have years of experience caring for children. I have raised two beautiful children of my own. I have been a state certified In-home daycare provider in the states of Texas and North Carolina. My most recent certification, in the state of Texas, was 2[removed]. I recently closed my daycare and relocated to the Dallas/Ft. Worth area to be closer to my daughter, who is expecting my second grandchild in January. I will provide references upon request.

Booked by 3 families in Duncanville, TX
I have worked with children for 20 years as an educator in and out of the classroom. I have worked with families providing childcare for 10 years. I am patient, kind and nurturing. I’m interested in what the kids are interested in doing. This ranges from legos to drawing and anywhere in between. I have worked with children aged from infant to 12 years old. I’m CPR and first aid certified. I take pride in giving parents time off knowing their little ones are well cared for.
“Tamara came through in a pinch; she was punctual, polite, and great with the kids!”
Jameila $20 per hour for 1 child
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 (:
