Booked by 1 family in Fort Worth, TX

I haven't been babysitting for long. I enjoy kids, I have fun playing games with them. I'm a kind person with a bubbly personality. I enjoy, singing, dancing, music, and theatre. Helping with childcare at my church was also a lot of fun.

Rhonda $20 per hour for 1 child

Greetings! My name is Rhonda, I am a parent and a public school teacher with Arlington ISD. I have 25 years teaching experience, mainly in early childhood education and special education. I have a Master's in Special Education and have experience working with students who have physical, intellectual and emotional disabilities. I have training in trauma-informed parenting and teaching. As a parent and previous nursery worker, I have additional experience caring for children of all ages. I also have experience providing companionship and light physical care to elderly family members. I am also willing to do light tasks around the house and prepare simple meals for those I'm caring for. I love animals, so your pets would also be in good hands with me. I would love the opportunity to meet your family and answer any questions you have about the care I provide.

Danielle $16 per hour for 1 child

My name is Daniela, I just moved to Arlington Tx from California. I have two sons of my own still in elementary. I have worked with seniors in an office setting for about 9 years fulltime. Occasionally I help on the floor as needed with caregiving. Currently I’ve have been missing the baby stages and was hoping I could fill my weekends with lending a hand to families. My availability is Friday night, Saturday and Sundays. I believe I have nurturing qualities and will to try and make a difference when I’m around. I’m reliable, punctual alongside flexible. I hope to bring peace of mind, trust, and relief when being around. Thanks!

Joel $20 per hour for 1 child

I’m an experienced and dependable caregiver with a strong background in working with children of all ages. I’m a parent of three and an active uncle to my nephew, all of whom attend school in the Mansfield ISD. I’m deeply involved in their daily routines, academics, and extracurricular activities. I handle school drop-offs and pick-ups, help with homework, and participate in field trips and classroom events throughout the year. In addition to caring for my own children, I volunteer regularly across all grade levels in the MISD district, which has given me hands-on experience supporting students and teachers in different age groups and learning environments. I also serve on various committees within the district as both a parent and community leader. I’m known for being patient, responsible, and organized, with a calm and positive personality that helps children feel safe, supported, and valued. Whether helping with schoolwork, coordinating after-school activities, or simply creating a fun and caring environment, I take pride in providing consistent and trustworthy care that parents can rely on.
