I haven't been babysitting for long. I enjoy kids, I have fun playing games with them. I'm a kind person with a bubbly personality. I enjoy, singing, dancing, music, and theatre. Helping with childcare at my church was also a lot of fun.

Greetings! My name is Rhonda, I am a parent and a public school teacher with Arlington ISD. I have 25 years teaching experience, mainly in early childhood education and special education. I have a Master's in Special Education and have experience working with students who have physical, intellectual and emotional disabilities. I have training in trauma-informed parenting and teaching. As a parent and previous nursery worker, I have additional experience caring for children of all ages. I also have experience providing companionship and light physical care to elderly family members. I am also willing to do light tasks around the house and prepare simple meals for those I'm caring for. I love animals, so your pets would also be in good hands with me. I would love the opportunity to meet your family and answer any questions you have about the care I provide.

Booked by 32 families in Kennedale, TX

My name is Leila! I am a Master's student at UNT pursuing my MBA in Organizational Behavior and Human Resource Management. I graduated from UT Arlington with a BA in Communication Studies, specializing in the organizational communication track. I currently work in Human Resources, but I am open to occasional babysitting roles and tutoring opportunities. In college, I was an avid volunteer across DFW with experience volunteering internationally and I love working with children. I was a nanny throughout college and loved my nanny families so so much. I've been a camp counselor, a band coach, and a committed volunteer through the service cohort of my leadership society at school. I have created long lasting bonds with my employers and have consistently created environments in my workplace that are inclusive, loving, and positive. Among my various volunteer experiences, a highlight I've had is working as a supplemental English teacher in the beautiful community of Jiquilillo, in Chinandega, Nicaragua, with GIVE Volunteers. In my work with children, I teach critical values to encourage positive mindset, creative thinking, and the exploration of new ideas. Those values are imperative for the youth of today and the global citizens of tomorrow. I have a very holistic approach to parenting! Reach out to me via private message for interview scheduling. I don't accept bookings without initial contact from the guardians. Open to occasional roles at this time. ***Please let me know if you have sick children prior to booking!*** Updated: 03/2026

She was absolutely wonderful with my cats! We hired her during our wedding weekend to bring our cats to the venue for some quick photos, and it was such a relief knowing they were being cared for by someone so kind and dependable. She kept us updated, took great care of the girls, and was incredibly patient (even when my oldest cat decided she wanted absolutely nothing to do with the plan 😅😂) She genuinely went above and beyond, and it was obvious how much she cared about making sure everything went smoothly and treating the cats with patience and gentleness. I’m so grateful for all of her help during such a busy and special time in our lives. I would absolutely trust her with my cats again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter!

Hello- My name is Carmen I am currently a student at TCC. I am fluent in English and Spanish, I am offering my services with child care, pet care, senior care, as well as household services. I have been a babysitter as long as I can remember; not only for family and friends, but for families that need my services. I love being a babysitter and working with kids, I have experienced with all age groups from new born to 15 year olds. My responsibilities have ranged from driving kids to practices, grocery shopping, tutoring, crafts, etc. I am always open to pet care and senior care. Having 2 dogs of my own and taking care of my elders in my family, I have learned to be patient and learning to problem solve fast at my feet. I can also cook healthy and tasty foods and snacks. While always being up for a good challenge and obstacles that may arise!!

Carmen was wonderful! She was prompt, communicative, and the kids took right to her! She is a sweetheart with a heart for kids! My kids loved her :-)
