Booked by 1 family in Little Elm, TX

Hello, My name is Key and I'm currently a student at Texas Woman’s University. I am available for child care, senior care, and light household services. I was previously a nanny for a family of 3 children for over a year. I’ve also watched newborns, infants, toddlers, and kids since I was 16 years old. My responsibilities have included driving to/from school, crafts, tutoring, and dinner help and bedtime routines. I can also work as a household assistant and can cook, clean, and run errands.

“Kiari is a great baby sitter, she enjoys the time with my son and I know they are going to have a great and safe time. She is very reliable as well.”

Lauren $18 per hour for 1 child

I bring 5 years of hands-on childcare experience through babysitting, church nursery care, and youth volunteer work. I’m a certified lifeguard trained in CPR, First Aid, and AED, and I also teach swim lessons, which helps me stay calm, confident, and safety-focused in any situation. I’m currently working toward my B.S. in Child Development so I can continue building my career supporting children’s growth and development. Along with caring for kids, I also have a strong love for animals—especially dogs. I’m experienced with pet care, walking, feeding, and providing companionship, and I’m always happy to help families with their furry friends. I also enjoy supporting elderly individuals and have a natural patience and compassion that makes me great at offering company, help with small tasks, or just being a comforting presence. Whether I’m caring for children, pets, or older adults, I bring warmth, reliability, and genuine care into every home I’m welcomed into.
