Booked by 30 families in Lockhart, TX

Hello! My name is Raquel. I have experience working for families with three and one child, between seven months and four years. I love working with kids and I am very patient and sweet with them. I enjoy playing and performing indoor and outdoor activities. I am a Spanish speaker, so that I can teach them. I also have experience working with Seniors with Dementia, and I consider myself a loving caregiver. I have experience preparing light meals, feeding them, doing outdoor activities such as walking around the park and neighborhood, and administering medication according to the doctor's prescription. I enjoy nature (parks and rivers), and I like to listen to music and dance. I am a respectful and trustworthy person.

“Raquel was fantastic with my two toddlers! She was on time, engaged, energetic, and cleaned up after kiddos activities. I would not hesitate recommending Raquel to other parents!”

Hello! My name is Anna and I'd love to be your weeknight and weekend sitter. I have 9 years of experience babysitting kids of all ages, from infants to teenagers. I do my best to provide a fun time when I'm with your kids while also making sure that all of your rules and routines are followed too. My disciplinary methods for younger children (toddler age to 4, 5 years old) involve distraction and explaining why something isn't allowed. I always want kids to understand why rules are in place and why they need to be followed if they ask. For older kids (6 + years old) I prefer using positive reinforcement, giving them a treat when they do well, over negative reinforcement, taking away something they already have, because I find the carrot works much better than the stick, so to speak. I am flexible in accommodating to whatever methods of discipline you use for your children while I am babysitting them. I love babysitting because it helps bring out my inner kid and play with kids and teach them what I know! Kids are very curious, and I love answering their questions about how things work. Working with kids helps me to be a more nurturing and patient person, and I love engaging with and playing with kids while I'm watching them. I'll monkey around on the playground with them, play hide and seek, Monsters, Lava, etc. because I enjoy myself and love feeling like a kid again. One of my favorite activities to do with kids is to take them to the park if it's still light outside. I find that it's very easy to have kids sucked into screen time because it provides easy distractions for them, and I prefer for kids to not have too much screen time while I'm with them. I love playing games with kids, and especially love reading to them. They love the character voices I make while reading to them! I have had pets my whole life: dogs, cats, rabbits, and chickens alike, and am happy to work with all pets. I am happy to do light housework when the kids are asleep or when there is down time. I know being a parent is hard work, so coming home to a clean house is always a nice feeling, and I'm happy to help when there is time for that.

*pet sitting only* Hi there! I am a 5 star rated pet sitter in the South Austin area, and I love animals! I have cared for my pets and friends/family pets since I was 12 years old. I am a reliable, friendly, and kind animal lover. I understand fully how your pet is a part of your family and should be cared for as such. I look forward to making your life a little easier by checking in on your cat or walking and visiting with your dog. I am happy to watch animals in my home or happy to watch them in their home. I have recently moved to South Austin, but I am not against still watching pets up north 🙂 Please feel free to reach out with any questions you may have. Hope to hear from you soon 😁

“Crystal is a phenomenal pet sitter! She is very responsive and provides daily updates and photos when watching my pup. I highly recommend her!”
