Booked by 21 families in Mc Neil, TX

Hi! I’m Erica, a UT Austin graduate with a degree in education and over six years of babysitting experience. I taught for a year and now work in educational technology sales, where I continue supporting educators and teachers. My experience includes three years in an after-school program, working with children from Pre-K through sixth grade. I also serve in my church’s student ministry with middle and high school students and occasionally help with infants through fifth grade. I enjoy helping with homework, planning fun art activities, and getting to know each child’s interests. My goal is to create a safe, caring, and engaging environment where kids feel comfortable and parents feel confident leaving them in my care. I’d love to connect and learn more about your family!

Booked by 97 families in Mc Neil, TX

Hi! I’m Melissa! I work full-time in Project Management Monday–Friday and offer occasional babysitting on evenings and weekends. I have 20 years of experience caring for children of all ages, from newborns through teens. I’m comfortable caring for multiple children at once and have experience with everything from regular date-night sitting to overnight and travel-based care. I’m also a mom to a 2-year-old daughter, so I know firsthand how much patience, flexibility, and fun little ones need! I’m a hands-on sitter who genuinely enjoys spending time with kids. I love doing arts & crafts, playing games, getting outside for walks or playtime, reading books, or winding down with a movie. I always try to make babysitting feel fun and comfortable while keeping your child’s routine and your parenting style in mind. When I’m not working or babysitting, I love traveling, spending time with my family, and being outdoors. I’m also a huge animal lover with two cats and a dog, so I’m more than happy to care for your furry family members too! 😊

Booked by 4 families in Mc Neil, TX

Hi! I’m Cassidy — a caring, reliable, and upbeat babysitter with 7+ years of childcare experience. I spent 2 years working in a licensed daycare caring for newborns and infants, and I’ve also babysat toddlers through middle-schoolers for many years. Im CPR certified. I’m comfortable with feedings, nap routines, bedtime transitions, activity planning, and developmental play. I’m naturally warm, patient, and bubbly, and I love engaging kids in fun and meaningful activities — whether that’s crafts, reading, outdoor play, creative games, or calm downtime when needed. I’m also happy to help with homework support, driving to activities, errands, and light household tasks, and I’m comfortable with pets. I’m very organized and dependable, and I always aim to create a safe, positive, and enjoyable environment where children feel cared for — and parents feel supported. My goal is to not just watch your child, but to connect with them, encourage their confidence, and make your daily life a little easier. Looking forward to meeting your family!

“Great gal! Very personable and engaging with our kids. We'll most definitely have her back! ”

Booked by 22 families in Mc Neil, TX

Hi there! My name is Anarra, and by day, I am a elementary school music teacher! Kids of all ages have been my life for as long as I can remember, from taking care of my younger siblings as a child, to getting my first babysitting job for the neighbors at age 12, and nothing brings me greater joy than earning the trust and love of a child. I have worked with all ages from newborn - middle school aged, and I have experience with multiples, as well as premies. I have nannied full time for two different families with twins (2mo old boys, and 6mo old girls) and still do the occasional date night with both families! I do mostly date nights and weekends, but have also worked with two families as a night nanny, starting with babies as young as 2 weeks! I love to sing and dance, and play, and I’m always down for a round of dress up or playing with trains and monster trucks. I have two degrees, one in Music Education, and one in early childhood education. I have dedicated my life to loving and caring for children, and in my opinion, there’s nothing better in the world. I look forward to meeting you!

“She was great with our kids and dogs immediately and got rave reviews from my kids the next day, would definitely have her back again!”
