Jasmine $20 per hour for 1 child

My name is Jasmine I’m looking for part time job right now as I have a full time job Monday through Saturday (every other Saturday ) I have been taking care of children since I was 15 years old. I have experience with newborns, toddlers, middle aged kids. I have a lot of patience for children and enjoy teaching new things. I don’t have any kids of my own yet but hope to some day. I enjoy pets but am allergic to cats. I can run errands and do light house keeping.

Natalia $20 per hour for 1 child

I am 22 years old. I am currently a barista at Starbucks par-time and I do online schooling part time as well. I am first generation who has a twin brother. My brother and I are the first in the family to seek bachelor degrees! I am very empathetic and always give to my loved ones without expecting anything in return. I am a sensitive kiddo but with great communication I am very open minded and can go through any obstacle in life! :) I am striving to become a marketing analyst as a career, but in all I just want to help people and seek happiness in this life. I am a great caregiver due to a personal reason in not wanting any kiddo or baby have a hard up bringing like I did. I am wanting to help in any way.

Hey, I’m Carri! I’m born and raised in Fort Worth, TX. I’m currently a student and I work full-time as an RBT (registered behavior technician). I am pursuing my masters degree in special education with a focus of ABA. I’m currently offering childcare and pet/house sitting duties. I have plenty of experience with all ages as I am the oldest of 6 and I’ve been working professionally in childcare for about 3 years now. I have great knowledge of child development and I’m trained in safety care and CPR certified. I am fully equipped to bring fun and exciting energy with your children! I’m also greatly experienced with pets as I’ve grown up with cats and dogs my entire life! I have lots of experience with housesitting, pet sitting, and child care. I can cook, clean, and have my own means for transportation. I’m open to any families in need!

Booked by 32 families in Fort Worth, TX

My name is Leila! I am a Master's student at UNT pursuing my MBA in Organizational Behavior and Human Resource Management. I graduated from UT Arlington with a BA in Communication Studies, specializing in the organizational communication track. I currently work in Human Resources, but I am open to occasional babysitting roles and tutoring opportunities. In college, I was an avid volunteer across DFW with experience volunteering internationally and I love working with children. I was a nanny throughout college and loved my nanny families so so much. I've been a camp counselor, a band coach, and a committed volunteer through the service cohort of my leadership society at school. I have created long lasting bonds with my employers and have consistently created environments in my workplace that are inclusive, loving, and positive. Among my various volunteer experiences, a highlight I've had is working as a supplemental English teacher in the beautiful community of Jiquilillo, in Chinandega, Nicaragua, with GIVE Volunteers. In my work with children, I teach critical values to encourage positive mindset, creative thinking, and the exploration of new ideas. Those values are imperative for the youth of today and the global citizens of tomorrow. I have a very holistic approach to parenting! Reach out to me via private message for interview scheduling. I don't accept bookings without initial contact from the guardians. Open to occasional roles at this time. ***Please let me know if you have sick children prior to booking!*** Updated: 03/2026

“She was absolutely wonderful with my cats! We hired her during our wedding weekend to bring our cats to the venue for some quick photos, and it was such a relief knowing they were being cared for by someone so kind and dependable. She kept us updated, took great care of the girls, and was incredibly patient (even when my oldest cat decided she wanted absolutely nothing to do with the plan 😅😂) She genuinely went above and beyond, and it was obvious how much she cared about making sure everything went smoothly and treating the cats with patience and gentleness. I’m so grateful for all of her help during such a busy and special time in our lives. I would absolutely trust her with my cats again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter!”

I have been babysitting since I was 12 years old. I’ve worked with all ages from infants and up. I was a preschool teacher for awhile and I also have experience working with special education. Ive nannied for a 4 year old boy, a family with 4 kids (ages 10, 8, 5, 6 months) and occasionally for a family with 11, 9 and 3 year olds. I have my own car so I don’t mind transporting or running errands as needed. I’m CPR/BLS certified, almost medical assistant certified, a non smoker, I like to cook, and don’t mind light janitorial and household duties. I Can speak intermediate Spanish. I know enough to be able to teach someone else how to speak it and I would love to learn more together as well. I am based in Texas but I travel to California every so often to visit family.
