Booked by 1 family in Galena Park, TX

Hello! My name is Blanca, and I am a caring, reliable, and experienced childcare provider. I have over 10 years of experience as an early childhood teacher working with children from birth to age 5, along with 3 years of experience as an education coach supporting children, teachers, and families. I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Psychopedagogy ( evaluated by Spantran ) which gives me a strong understanding of child development, behavior, and emotional needs. I am patient, nurturing, and calm, and I focus on creating a safe, positive, and supportive environment where children feel comfortable and secure. I am CPR and First Aid certified, Food Handler certified, and bilingual in English and Spanish. Safety is always my top priority, and I am very attentive to routines, hygiene, and family preferences. I enjoy engaging children in age-appropriate play, reading, and quiet activities, especially during evening and bedtime routines. Parents describe me as dependable, respectful, and easy to communicate with. I value trust and consistency and take pride in providing quality care. I am available for evening care after 4:30 PM on weekdays and have open availability on weekends, including date nights. I look forward to supporting your family and caring for your little ones.

Rebecca $25 per hour for 1 child

I have one year of experience working as a caregiver for a family in California, where I supported an elderly mother with daily care while also helping maintain a calm, organized, and loving home. In this role, I was responsible not only for senior care, but also for caring for two dogs and two cats, ensuring they were well-fed, exercised, and comfortable. I also 5 years of pet sitting experience via Rover with 5-star reviews and have many references. This experience taught me responsibility, patience, and the importance of creating a safe and nurturing environment for every member of the household. I also have experience caring for children through helping look after my younger cousins. I naturally connect well with kids, and they tend to feel comfortable and at ease around me. I am gentle, attentive, and enjoy engaging with children in a positive and supportive way. I am eager to learn, flexible with routines, and happy to follow a family’s specific needs and values. I take pride in being dependable, kind, and compassionate, and I truly enjoy helping families feel supported and cared for.

Savannah $15 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Galena Park, TX

Greetings! My name is Savannah and I’m currently a sophomore at the University of Kansas. I’m available for babysitting, pet, and household services. I completed a three year child-care course and am CPR certified. I started babysitting 7 years ago, and have dealt with children of all ages. Normally, I opt for playing games with children which encourage the use of creativity and imagination. Simultaneously, I have experience in tutoring, so I can help with homework if required. I am an emphatic dog lover, and have volunteered at the SPCA regularly for nearly two years. I’ve handled many creatures, big and small, over this time, therefore I am confident in my abilities to care for any dog. If you feel you need a hand in a cluttered house, I would be happy to lend you one. At times life can get messy, and our living spaces can as well. I am here to help make your life a little easier, and not to judge, so I assure you that there is no need to feel ashamed of whatever condition your house is in. If you are lacking certain cleaning supplies then I will bring them myself. If you feel that I may be fit to fulfill any of your needs, or have any additional inquiries, please do not hesitate to contact me! Thank you for your time, and have a lovely day :)
