Booked by 36 families in Mc Neil, TX

Hi - My name is Lyric, I am 28 and I am a graduate of Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi with my bachelors in kinesiology. I am offering child care and household services, I am also Covid vaccinated! I have been babysitting and taken on roles as a nanny for the last 5 years since I moved to Austin with kids ages ranging from as young as 3 months old to 12. I have loved being a babysitter since I was a young girl helping my mom out with my younger brothers and have been watching toddlers, and kids for the past 8 years as a gymnastics coach. My responsibilities have included driving to/from school for some of my gymnasts and having between 8-12 girls in my care for hours at a time. I currently work full time as a physical therapy tech/aide while applying this year for Physical Therapy school! My full time job hours are M/W until 6pm, TH/F until 5pm! If references are needed especially for little ones between 3-12 months old I can provide those as well!

“Omg!! Lyric was amazing! I thought my child wouldn’t warm up to her, but as soon as Lyric said hi, my child ran up to her and started playing. Lyric was great, always kept me updated on my child, and asked questions to make sure everything was okay. Would definitely recommend her to anyone! ”

Booked by 23 families in Mc Neil, TX

My name is Lauren and I am from Dallas, Texas! I am an educational audiologist working for the region of Austin. I recently moved from San Francisco to Austin and have had tons of child care experience, as I entered college (2011) seeking a degree in early child care... but decided I wanted to study something a little more challenging for me and that's how I ended up studying audiology. I've worked at summer camps with specialities in autism, gymnastics summer camps/nights out, taken a variety of early childhood education courses, and worked in the NICU/well born nursery doing hearing screenings for three years. I have had numerous families I worked with in SF and am now looking to establish new families to work with. Looking forward to working with you and your family!
