Booked by 1 family in Helotes, TX

Hello! My name is Addie! I am currently attending UTSA and working on my bachelor's degree in psychology. I’m going on my 4th year of working with kids. I have experience in babysitting, day summer camps, and overnight camps. I am patient, creative, and driven. My passion is working with kids! I love teaching and learning from kids and plan on pursuing this as a social worker. Not only am I looking to forward to creating a strong bond with children but a bond with the parents too. I am here to offer an extra supporting hand whether that is looking over your kiddos or helping cook, clean, run errands, etc.

Renata $18 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Renata, and I’m a sophomore at UTSA. I recently started babysitting about a month ago and have absolutely loved it. I enjoy spending time with kids, making them feel safe, comfortable, and happy while creating a fun and positive environment. I’d describe myself as responsible, patient, reliable, and fun. I’m the oldest of three siblings, CPR certified, and fluent in both English and Spanish. I’m also happy to help with homework, light housekeeping, meal preparation, or anything else that helps make life a little easier for parents. In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my family, cooking, baking, and playing padel. I have excellent time-management skills, always bring a positive attitude, and strive to provide dependable care so parents can feel confident their children are in good hands.
