Booked by 4 families in Little Elm, TX

Hi! My name is Jayda and I'm originally from San Antonio, but I'm currently attending the University of North Texas! I have plenty of experience with both children and pets! I have a younger sister and two baby cousins both under 2 that I often babysit and love to provide care for. Additionally, I also worked as a camp leader in multiple church ministry's working with kids from K-8th grade. Back home in San Antonio I had two dogs and a cat I took care of, and currently own one cat here in Denton. I also have experience working in a veterinary clinic as a kennel technician. Another fact about me is that I am CPR and First Aid certified and I am trained in how to handle emergency situations, so not only will I provide the best care and support but I can also ensure that your children and/or pets will be safe! I am looking forward to working with you, feel free to reach out to me with any questions or concerns you may have!

Yesslin $20 per hour for 1 child

My name is Cristal, and I’m a college student working at a private Montessori school. With five years of experience as a childcare provider, I’ve developed a deep passion for nurturing young minds and creating a safe, supportive environment where children can grow and thrive. I enjoy engaging kids in hands-on learning, sharing my curiosity for nature, science, and creative problem-solving. I’m patient, creative, and friendly, which helps me connect with children on a personal level, making their time with me enjoyable and educational. I’ve babysat for family, worked in daycares, and gained school experience, along with certifications in CPR, stress management, and trauma support. I love activities that spark imagination, from outdoor adventures to puzzles and board games. Though my schedule is best suited for weekends, I’m flexible and strive to meet your needs. I look forward to the chance to build a meaningful relationship with you and your children!
