Hi, I’m Hannah! I’m a dependable, patient, and energetic caregiver with years of experience working with children and families. I’m safety-focused, nurturing, and great at keeping kids engaged with fun activities while maintaining structure. I’m also happy to help with light housekeeping, meals, bedtime routines, and errands. I take pride in being punctual, respectful, and trustworthy—families can count on me to care for their loved ones like my own.
Hello! My name is Mahsa. When I was in highscool I was apart of my school's Education and Training Program! My freshman year I took Principles of Education and Training, my sophmore year I took Child Growth and Development, and my junior and senior year I was in the Intructional Practicum. In the practicum, I went to either Tom Wilson, Keiko Davidson, or Odessa Kilpatrick elementary and was a teacher's assistant! Ive taught Prek-5th grade, spedning 6-12 weeks with each class I was helping. I bonded with my students, their parents, and the lead teachers so much. I made lesson plans, organized the classroom, graded assigments, taught class lessons, worked in small groups, worked with students who were apart of the special education program and tutore students indivisually. I now have an Educational Aide I certificate from Texas Education Agency (TEA). I absolutley loved my time with the kids. It made me so happy to know I got to help them grow as people. I was able to build a lot of trust with my students and form a real bond between us. My best memories with them are playing tag with all the kiddos at recess, really getting the chnace to know them through one on one converstaion, and reading books to the class while making sillt voices for the chacters. Right now I'm studying for my Bachlors of Liberal Arts - Psychology, with a minor in Child Development and Family Studies. My biggest dream is to become a childrens therapist. I have a lot of passion for psychology and I LOVE spending time with kids so its the perfect fit for me. :) I have my own car, and am willing to do anything "extra" to accomidate for the needs of the child.
I am CPR and First Aid certified for infants, children and adults. I am a full time preschool teacher during the week. I have been working with children in one capacity or another for over 20 years. I have taught in preschool and Sunday school settings, babysat, and run the childcare for a number of non-profit events and organizations. I have experience working with newborn babies through preteens. I love working with children of all ages, watching them grow and being a part of those 'a-ha!' moments. Every age offers something new and unique. I love helping the younger ones grow, learn new skills and explore this amazing world that we live in. With older children it is so much fun to play games, make believe, and help them as they explore and learn about the more intricate things in life. I look forward to speaking with you about your needs soon!
I am a high school graduate from K-12 online schooling. Currently I help take care of my grandmother and have been babysitting since I was 15. My hobbies are working out, gaming, and reading. I am a quiet spirited young man and follow orders well. I look forward to helping families manage their busy lives.
I’m a devoted mother of four and grandmother of four, happiest when I’m surrounded by family — especially my grandkids. As a certified chef from the Art Institute of Houston, I love bringing creativity to the kitchen and sharing good food with the people I love. Outside of cooking, gardening is my peaceful escape, where I enjoy planting, growing, and connecting with nature.
