I am a 23 year old college graduate currently working full-time at a Title/Law Firm. Previously, I worked as a tutor at The Confidence Group in Dallas, TX, from February 2023 to May 2024, where I supported 3rd–8th grade students in Dallas ISD through personalized lesson plans, including specialized assistance for students with special needs. From June 2017 to May 2020, I served as a Youth Golf Instructor at The First Tee in El Paso, TX, teaching children golf skills and incorporating the organization’s Core Values, such as Integrity, Sportsmanship, Courtesy, Respect, etc. Eventually I was given the responsibility of helping to plan and lead sessions for different age groups within the program, but mainly focusing on the 3-5 year old and 7-8 year old age groups. In high school, I was in a STEM program that specialized in health care/medical fields which allowed me to work hospital rotations where I gained experience in basic levels of caregiving and crisis management. Additionally, I volunteered at the Ronald McDonald House Charities, providing support to families and participating in social service efforts. For the past three years, I have babysat for one family, assisting their child with schoolwork, and for the past four years, I have provided pet sitting services—mainly for dogs—for multiple families. I am also certified in CPR and First Aid.

I’m currently a Pre-K teacher at merit children’s academy. I have been babysitting my former students for about a year now. I love being around my kiddos, helping them learn, giving them love and watching them grow! Most of my experience are with 4s and up but i am open to any age. I’m a pet lover (dogs) so i am comfortable being around them. I also can do any household work that is needed (:
I am a reliable, enthusiastic, disciplined, and honest individual with a successful track record of working with kids of multiple different families through which I developed exceptional child care and needs management expertise. I am well versed in taking care of children between the ages of 5 months to 12 years. Specifically, I am very competent at: - Meal and snacks preparation and bottle-feeding infants - Bathing, dressing, and toilet-training children - Tidying up children's bedroom and play room - Keeping a vigilant eye on the children's activities, preparing them for school, helping them with homework and organizing their leisure activities Above all, I know how to keep the kids safe and amused in different healthy ways. I am also a very experienced pet sitter. I love animals very much and am very caring to the fur babies. I have mostly cared for large/small dogs and various breeds, such as German Shepherd’s, Labradors, an Old English Sheepadoodle, Golden Retrievers, Yorkie’s, and Dachshund’s. I understand your pets are important to you and they are to me as well. I am mindful of the needs of your pets and will treat them as my own.
Hi! My name is Deja, and I'm a dependable, patient, and energetic caregiver with several years of experience working with children of all ages. I previously worked as a kindergarten teacher and have also coached youth basketball, which has strengthened my ability to create a fun, structured, and safe environment for kids. I'm currently a Doctor of Physical Therapy student, so I have a strong understanding of child safety, health, and development. I am CPR and First Aid certified and enjoy engaging children through games, outdoor activities, arts and crafts, reading, sports, and homework help. Families can count on me to be reliable, communicative, and attentive while making sure their children feel comfortable, supported, and cared for. Whether you need occasional date-night care or a consistent sitter, I strive to provide a positive experience for both children and parents.
Hi! My name is Tiara, and caring for children has been part of my life for many years. I’ve been around children of all ages from infancy through school age, which has helped me develop a patient, nurturing, and attentive approach. I have professional experience in daycare and early childhood programs, where I focused on creative play, fine motor activities, and age-appropriate routines. I also previously worked in a pediatric urgent care, supporting children and families and strengthening my ability to stay calm, reassuring, and attentive in fast-paced situations. I’m CPR certified and value creating a safe, engaging, and comfortable environment where children feel supported and at ease. I’m primarily available evenings after 3:30 PM and anytime on weekends, and I enjoy helping families with date nights and occasional care.
