Aurora 1 review
$18 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Helotes, TX

Hi there! My name is Aurora, and I am a sophomore studying environmental engineering at Texas State University. I was a member of the Texas State Strutters dance team and I am an active member of Alpha Lambda Delta academic honor society. I have experience caring for younger cousins of mine, ranging in ages from 4-12. My responsibilities have included providing transportation to various locations, tutoring (specifically STEM), crafts, and spontaneous dance parties! I love working with kids and getting to see the world through their eyes. My favorite activities to do with kids of all ages are dancing, singing, building forts, drawing, and playing outdoors in safe, healthy spaces. I have 6+ years of experience in petcare, and I love animals of all shapes and sizes. I can cook, clean, run errands, and perform any related tasks to help out as best I can!

“Aurora was right on time and very pleasant to work with. She’s kind, professional, and the kids really liked her. We felt comfortable leaving them in her care and would definitely hire her again.”

Hailey $16 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Hailey, and I’m a dependable and caring caregiver based in San Antonio. I offer child care, senior care, pet care, and light household services. I have hands-on experience caring for young children, including my 2-year-old niece, who I spend a lot of time with and help care for regularly. Being around her has helped me become patient, attentive, and confident with toddlers and children of all ages. I truly enjoy working with kids and creating a safe, loving, and engaging environment for them. I also run my own nail technician business, which has strengthened my professionalism, time management, cleanliness, and attention to detail. Additionally, I come from a family-run business and am currently studying to become a medical assistant, giving me a strong understanding of responsibility, safety, and compassionate care. I’m reliable, trustworthy, and always treat families and their loved ones with kindness and respect.
