I’ve been passionate about health and wellness for as long as I can remember and began midwifery school this January as my interest grew into Holistic Maternal Health and Midwifery care over the last couple of years. The first couple of months solidified my path, though I find myself needing to pause my education to save money for finishing school. I believe firmly in working toward a society which dignifies the lives, needs, and natural processes of both mother and child during life’s early stages. Long term career-wise I see myself working with women and babies in need of affordable, loving care, and until that time I see myself working with and being inspired by the babies who’ve grown older and have begun to reflect the love and care given to them in their tiny years. I have substitute taught for Denton ISD for almost 2 years and high school summer camp counseled at UNT as well; both of which I’ve loved. I hope to share more with you upon interviewing!
*Not available to sit for sick (contagious) children* Having been on UrbanSitter close to its inception in 2014, I have over 25 years experience in childcare. I’ve worked with infants to 15-year-olds, and earned my certificate for early childhood development with the University of Oklahoma. I have worked in a nursery, as a teacher's assistant in an after school care program, as a nanny and mother’s helper. For over four years I was contracted by a sitting agency in Oklahoma and Dallas and was chosen twice as Sitter of the Month based on requests and family feedback. I am CPR and First Aid Certified. I am attentive to routines and guidelines while also connecting to kids with silly playtime. I am also very artsy and love to create things with kids, sing and make up stories and characters. Several families ask me back multiple times, and I look forward to meeting yours!
Hello! I am a former teacher and have extensive experience caring for children of all ages, including newborns. As a Mom of three grown children, I strongly believe in being proactive by providing guidance and positive support in age-appropriate and developmental level-appropriate activities, with an emphasis on growing and learning. My manner is calm and patient, with a focus on confidence building, clear communication, and fun! I am at all times aware that children model what adults do and say (both negative and positive!) I treat children with respect and kindness, without exception; I see mistakes as an opportunity to stop and gently learn the correct way. Each day should be filled with enthusiasm, positive energy, and lots of smiles! While nannying for a family, I strictly follow the parents' rules and guidelines, and work very hard to accomplish their expected outcomes for the child/children. I believe communication with parents, via phone, texts, pictures, videos, is very important. And I am at all times aware of and respect a family's privacy. I feel very comfortable (and love!) caring for newborns and infants; feedings (breast milk and formula); baby food preparation; frequent diaper changes, nap times, new stimulations through reading, music, toys, walks, outings, etc. For older children, my experience includes morning and bedtime routines; meal preparation and serving; school / lesson drop-offs and pick-ups; tutoring; homework supervision; play date supervision; screen time monitoring; learning through reading, music, crafts, outdoor play, library, museum and playplace visits, etc. I also have experience in almost every aspect of household assistance; grocery inventory and shopping (including searching several stores for that one special item!), meal prep, laundry, cleaning, etc. Additionally, I am now available for pet care / sitting. I am a “grandma” to a beautiful Siberian Forest cat and two adorable Pomeranians; I miss them whenever I am away! Thank you, and I look forward to hearing from you!

Hi - My name is Ahnesty and I'm currently a sophomore at UST. I am offering child care. I love being a babysitter and have been watching newborns, infants, toddlers, and kids since I was 10 years old. My responsibilities have included driving to/from school, helping out with homework, outdoor activities. I also can cook, clean, and run errands.
“Ahnesty was amazing! My boys really enjoyed her. She was very helpful and professional. Can’t wait to have her back!”
