Hi there! I'm Derry, a dedicated and fun-loving babysitter/nanny with over 18 years of experience working with kids of all ages, including groups of up to 6 children at a time! As a CPR, First Aid, and AED certified professional, I prioritize your little ones' safety above all. With a background working at Children's Courtyard and currently at a daycare, I've honed my skills in creating engaging activities, arts, and crafts that kids adore. Movie nights with popcorn are a favorite of mine, too! Music and dance are passions of mine, and I love sharing them with the kiddos. When I'm not working, I'm spending time with my family and my furry baby. I'm available for date nights, short-term jobs, and offer references upon request. Let's create some unforgettable memories together! Contact me to schedule your next babysitting adventure!

“Our daughter had a great time with Derry. Will hire again.”

Booked by 10 families in Haltom City, TX

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.

Skylar $15 per hour for 1 child

I’m Skylar, and I am a senior nursing student at TCU. I am offering child care, dog sitting, and senior services. I love being a babysitter and have experience babysitting with ages 3-6 since I was 15. During the summer, I work as a camp counselor for ages 8-12 and I love caring for kids! I have planned activities, cooked, ran errands, driven to and from school, and made crafts! I have three dogs at home, so I have experience with dog sitting for the past 10 years. I love all animals and would love to care for any! I am a nursing student, so I have two years of experience of senior care. I love caring for seniors and am very comfortable with senior care.
