Booked by 34 families in Mc Neil, TX

Welcome! My name is Velvet, and I am a 28-year-old residing in the vibrant Easton Park area of southeast Austin. With a bachelor's degree in Family Studies & Child Development, I bring over a decade of extensive experience working with children to the table. My journey began as a preschool gymnastics coach, transitioning seamlessly into a role as a dedicated preschool teacher. For the past eight years, I have immersed myself in the professional nanny and in-home childcare industry, where I've honed my skills and expertise. My passion lies in child development, and I am committed to implementing developmentally appropriate practices in all aspects of my work. I take delight in organizing engaging outings to parks, playgrounds, The Thinkery, and other enriching locations across Austin. Above all, I prioritize creating a safe and nurturing environment where children feel secure and supported. Tailoring my approach to meet the unique needs of each family I work with is my top priority. My ultimate goal is to cultivate positive and enduring relationships with the families I have the privilege of serving. I am excited about the opportunity to collaborate with you and your family, fostering growth, learning, and unforgettable memories along the way.

“Velvet is amazing! Definitely will use her again- my kids loved her.”

Booked by 2 families in Mc Neil, TX

Hi there! I’m an undergraduate student at UT Austin studying Nutritional Sciences with a passion for working with children of all backgrounds and abilities. Having a twin with special needs has given me firsthand experience and deep understanding of the unique care and attention that children with special needs require. For the past five years, I’ve served as a leader, counselor, and caretaker for children ages 4-16, which has given me extensive experience managing different age groups and personalities. I also have significant experience caretaking for infants. My degree has provided me with vast knowledge on behaviors, feeding patterns, and developmental milestones of infants, giving me unique insight into proper infant care. As a pre-med student, I have clinical experience and medical skills that enhance my caregiving abilities. I’m trained to take vitals, use a glucometer, and provide basic medical assistance when needed. While I’m not a doctor, my pre-medical studies have given me a solid foundation in health monitoring and emergency response, making me comfortable caring for children with medical conditions or seniors requiring additional health support. My background in nutrition allows me to prepare healthy, delicious meals and snacks that kids actually enjoy, and I love involving them in cooking and baking activities that are both fun and educational. I’m also available for tutoring and homework help! I can assist with any subject for middle school and under, and I specialize in science tutoring for high school students. Whether it’s nightly reading sessions or tackling challenging assignments, I’m here to support academic success. I’m bilingual in English and Spanish and would be happy to create a Spanish immersion environment for your children if interested. I understand how valuable early language exposure can be! I have a reliable car and travel between Houston and Austin in the summer. During school, I live in central Austin, so I’m flexible with location and can easily handle pickup and drop-off duties. I’m particularly available for weekend and late-night sitting when you need it most. What sets me apart is my combination of personal experience with special needs care, professional childcare background, nutrition expertise, medical training, academic support skills, and genuine enthusiasm for helping children learn, grow, and have fun in a safe environment. I’d love to meet your family and discuss how I can support your needs!

“Alana was a reliable, punctual, and friendly sitter for our 8-year-old son. She was on time picking him up from camp and bringing him home safely. She was very communicative and even baked delicious cookies which was such a thoughtful touch. We would gladly book her again!”

Booked by 3 families in Mc Neil, TX

My name is Aralyn, and I have more than 2½ years of professional caregiving and childcare experience working with children and individuals who require compassionate, attentive support. For over a year, I have worked as a Child Development Assistant while also providing babysitting services for families. My background in both childcare and direct care has strengthened my ability to create safe, nurturing, and engaging environments where children can thrive. I am CPR certified and trained in Safe Sleep practices and the Heimlich maneuver, and I prioritize every child's safety and well-being above all else. I enjoy planning fun, age-appropriate activities that encourage learning, creativity, and confidence, whether that means reading books together, completing puzzles, making crafts, exploring the outdoors, visiting the park, or simply joining children in the activities they enjoy most. I believe every child learns differently, and I strive to build meaningful relationships by supporting their unique personalities, interests, and developmental needs. In addition to my childcare experience, I currently work as a Direct Care Partner, providing compassionate assistance to individuals with disabilities. This role has strengthened my patience, communication skills, adaptability, and attention to detail while reinforcing the importance of treating every person with kindness, dignity, and respect. These experiences have made me a dependable caregiver who remains calm under pressure and is committed to creating positive experiences for the families I serve. I am a rising senior at The University of Texas at Austin pursuing a Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology with a minor in African and African Diaspora Studies. My education has deepened my understanding of child development, movement, health, and wellness, and I hope to use this knowledge to continue making a positive impact on children's growth and overall well-being. Outside of work, I enjoy dancing, reading, spending time with family and friends, and staying active. I am a patient, dependable, energetic, and caring person who genuinely enjoys helping children learn, grow, and have fun. I look forward to building trusting relationships with families and providing dependable care that gives parents peace of mind while creating a positive, enriching experience for their children

“We are so happy we found Aralyn here! She is so sweet, accommodating, and I could tell the kids really liked her. We would definitely book again :) ”
