Hi my name is Kailen and I’m currently a full time college student at San Jacinto. I offer child care, senior care, pet care, and household services. I love being around people and meeting new people, I have been around kids my whole life and helped take care of infants to pre-teens. My responsibilities have included driving to and from school, crafts, and really good tutor. I can cook, clean, and run errands. I have been a care taker for my grandparents before they passed away, I helped them workout, eat, walk, take blood sugar and they had cancer and dementia. I also love dogs so I wouldn’t mind pets.
Hi! I’m Angie. I’ve been a caregiver for over 8+ years, supporting families with children from newborns to teens. I’ve worked in both daycare settings and private homes, and I truly love what I do. I focus on creating a safe, calm, and nurturing environment while keeping children engaged, supported, and cared for. If you’d like to know more about my experience or availability, feel free to reach out I’d love to connect.
I have 10+ years of experience working with children and recently have been building experience caring for infants. I have experience providing respite care for children with special needs as well as the elderly. I moved to Houston two years ago with my dog and have enjoyed getting to know the city through food, hiking and museums.
Hello there!! My names Alyza and I am excited to help busy parents and their adorable children! I have a strong background in childcare and a natural passion for caring for kids. Not only do I have professional experience as an RBT, working with children on the autism spectrum and supporting their growth, but I’m also a mom myself, which gives me a deep understanding of the patience, love, and responsibility that comes with looking after little ones. Along with childcare, I’m happy to provide support around the home and with pets. As a dog mom to three big pups, I’m very comfortable handling animals and making sure they’re well cared for too. My experience combines professional training, personal parenting, and a genuine love for children and families, which makes me a reliable and compassionate caretaker you can count on.
Hi my name is Emily Moore (no longer Poblano, as I am married now), I’m 25 years old and I’ve been babysitting/ petsitting for 8 years now. I’m the oldest of 4 kids so I’ve got lots of experience with all ages. I was a 1st grade teacher to 5 kids during my junior year of high school and loved planning activities for the kids. I love to sing, dance, swim, go to the park, and explore new things. I am CERT certified, bilingual(English/Spanish), and I’ve always had so much patience with kids of any age. I’m also very good with pets of all kinds, I have 1 dog myself (lab mix). I also do have a car, I’m an amazing cook, and I can always help out with any housework needed. Im also very flexible with my time. If you have any questions or concerns feel free to message me. I am willing to drive to further locations, but I do charge $10/20 miles as a gas fee (less than 20 miles is no extra charge) IF YOUR CHILD IS SICK WITH A COLD/FLU/COVID/COUGH AND YOU DO NOT INFORM ME BEFORE HAND, I WILL HAVE TO CHARGE $100 FOR THE INCONVENIENCE/ NON PREVENTATIVE ACTION TAKEN. Thank you have a blessed day:)
