Chloe $10 per hour for 1 child

Hello, my name is Chloe! I’m a current college student and working towards a nursing degree. I have my Basic Life Support certification and have my CNA. I have babysat on and off for my family and family friends for years now (ages of children ranging from 2 months to 10 years). My past responsibilities have been to drive to/from school, helping with homework, crafts, and other household chores. I am a type 1 diabetic, so I am very knowledgeable in how to care for other type ones!

Ethan $15 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Ethan, and I’m a dependable, energetic, and service-oriented professional with a diverse background working with families, students, and busy households. I previously served on staff at several churches, including Prestonwood Baptist Church, where I worked as a Worship Associate in the Student Ministry—giving me years of experience caring for and mentoring middle-school and high-school–aged kids. I’m currently a full-time musician, wedding singer, and DJ, and I’m also studying to become a Certified Personal Trainer. Because my work is contract-based, I value opportunities that offer flexibility while still allowing me to show up fully, reliably, and with a great attitude. I’m comfortable working with older children (6th grade and up), and I’m also available for house sitting and pet sitting. I’m detail-oriented, respectful of your space, and happy to help with light household tasks if needed. Whether you’re looking for someone trustworthy to care for your home, your pets, or your kids, I take pride in being someone you can count on. I’d love the opportunity to support your family and make your life a little easier!

Diya $12 per hour for 1 child

Hi, families. My name is Diya, and I am an incoming sophomore attending the University of Maryland. I am so excited to get to know, meet, and spend time with your family. I love bonding with children, especially with new, creative, and engaging activities that keep them stimulated and having a good time. I have worked at many children's tutoring services, all throughout high school, where I was exposed to various personalities and energy levels among children. I have also spent many years babysitting for my community when parents go out for date nights or other leisure activities. I also have interned at many pediatric dental clinics, as I am a pre-dental student so I have skills on working with any anxiety children may have in uncomfotable situations. Lastly, I have worked in daycares and summer camps with large groups of children over the summers. I am also able to do household services such as laundry, dishes, and cleaning the house. I have a large dog, so I would also be able to take care of any pets based on your requests. I am also CPR and AED certified to ensure that you feel safe leaving your child with me.

I’m a mom first. I know how I would want someone to treat my child. I also used to be a kindergarten and first grade teacher. I love children and I love being able to impact their life in a positive manner. I really love reading and playing games with children.

Booked by 18 families in Lavon, TX

Hello! My name is Ariana and I am a graduate student. I am offering child care, dog care, and household services. I have been babysitting since I was 12-13 years old watching newborns, infants, toddlers, and kids. I have been responsible for driving to/from school, crafts, driving to/from after-school activities, and completing chores. I love hanging out and doing activities that the children enjoy, while teaching life and communication skills that are age appropriate! (ex. maintaining a clean room, completing homework, communicating needs, etc.) For house sitting, I have been responsible for watering plants, collecting mail, and regularly checking in on the house when needed. I am comfortable with most pets, but am most familiar with dogs.

“Warm, professional, and a joy for our daughter to be around. ”
