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!”

Joel $20 per hour for 1 child

I’m an experienced and dependable caregiver with a strong background in working with children of all ages. I’m a parent of three and an active uncle to my nephew, all of whom attend school in the Mansfield ISD. I’m deeply involved in their daily routines, academics, and extracurricular activities. I handle school drop-offs and pick-ups, help with homework, and participate in field trips and classroom events throughout the year. In addition to caring for my own children, I volunteer regularly across all grade levels in the MISD district, which has given me hands-on experience supporting students and teachers in different age groups and learning environments. I also serve on various committees within the district as both a parent and community leader. I’m known for being patient, responsible, and organized, with a calm and positive personality that helps children feel safe, supported, and valued. Whether helping with schoolwork, coordinating after-school activities, or simply creating a fun and caring environment, I take pride in providing consistent and trustworthy care that parents can rely on.

Danielle $16 per hour for 1 child

My name is Daniela, I just moved to Arlington Tx from California. I have two sons of my own still in elementary. I have worked with seniors in an office setting for about 9 years fulltime. Occasionally I help on the floor as needed with caregiving. Currently I’ve have been missing the baby stages and was hoping I could fill my weekends with lending a hand to families. My availability is Friday night, Saturday and Sundays. I believe I have nurturing qualities and will to try and make a difference when I’m around. I’m reliable, punctual alongside flexible. I hope to bring peace of mind, trust, and relief when being around. Thanks!

I’m Skylar, and I am a senior nursing student at TCU. I am offering child care, dog sitting, and senior services.

I have planned activities, cooked, ran errands, driven to and from school, and made crafts! I have three dogs at home, so I have experience with dog sitting for the past 10 years. I love all animals and would love to care for any! I am a nursing student, so I have two years of experience of senior care. I love caring for seniors and am very comfortable with senior care.
