Booked by 5 families in Garland, TX

Hi! I’m Alyssa, and I’ve worked with children for several years in both professional and caregiving settings. I’ve been a Registered Behavior Technician (RBT) for the past two years and have a total of six years of experience supporting children with special needs. I have also worked at a local summer camp for specials needs children in Richardson. I’m CPR certified and Safety Care trained, and creating a safe, calm, nurturing and fun environment is always my top priority. I genuinely love connecting with kids, learning their personalities, and helping them feel comfortable and cared for. I’m currently looking to connect with a few families for babysitting in the late afternoons and on weekends, and I’d love to be a reliable, trusted support for your family 🤍

Alyssa was amazing with our 4 year old son - he had so much fun with her! She was on time, professional, and did a great job of keeping him entertained. We’re still working on potty training him, and Alyssa was more than willing to help with that as well. Her RTB background is an added bonus since our son is on the spectrum. We will definitely hire her again.

$20 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Crystal, and caring for children has been both my passion and my profession for over a decade. I hold a 4-year degree, have 10+ years of childcare experience ranging from infants to high schoolers, and 6+ years working in special education. I’ve also been a listed home provider, which gave me the opportunity to work with families in a nurturing and safe home environment. I offer dependable, loving care for children of all ages, along with light housekeeping, meal preparation, homework help, and fun, enriching activities. My experience spans from soothing newborns and creating engaging play for toddlers, to tutoring elementary students and supporting older children with organization and study skills. Some of my favorite activities with children include reading together, exploring nature, doing arts and crafts, playing educational games, and enjoying outdoor time. I also love incorporating music, themed activities, and hands-on learning into our days. I am CPR and First Aid certified, a non-smoker, comfortable with pets, and have my own reliable transportation. Families can trust that I will provide a safe, engaging, and caring environment for their children, while making sure parents have peace of mind. If there is anything about me that you would like to know, please feel free to ask me. Thank you for your interest. Look forward to hearing from you.
