Booked by 4 families in Missouri City, TX

Hi! My name is Jackeline, but everyone calls me Jackie. I am currently a freshman in college and I am offering child care and dog care services. I love babysitting and have been caring for infants and toddlers since I was around 10–13 years old. I have lots of hands-on experience and truly enjoy working with children. If needed, I can also tutor elementary school students. At the moment, I do not drive, but I will always be dropped off at any location provided. I am happy to help with cooking, light cleaning, organizing, or any small tasks you may need assistance with. I am the oldest of three siblings, which has given me a strong understanding of how to care for children, stay patient, and handle different situations. I also have two dogs that I care for regularly, so I am comfortable with feeding, walking, and general pet care as well. I am responsible, caring, and always willing to help however I can. I look forward to supporting your family!

“Jackie was one of the best sitters I’ve had in ages- not only were my kids well taken care of but she tidied up after the children around my house while waiting on me to get back which was so appreciated”

Hello! My name is Taylor, and I am currently a part-time nursing student. I am a licensed CNA with a BLS certification, and I am offering childcare, senior services, and household services. I love babysitting, and have been caring for children from ages 0-10 for the past three years. I'm calm natured, gentle, responsive, child-led, and love exploring. My responsibilities have included driving to/from places, tutoring (especially math), and crafts. As for senior care and household services, I was a caregiver for my grandmother for approximately six months. I can clean, run errands, drive, and assist with any daily living activities.

Booked by 1 family in Missouri City, TX

While I do not have formal professional caregiving experience, I have many years of hands-on experience. I come from a large family and have cared for over 15 nieces and nephews, ranging from newborns to teenagers. I have been the go-to babysitter for my family, so I am comfortable with diapers, bottles, feeding, bedtime routines, keeping children entertained, and all the everyday responsibilities that come with caring for little ones. When it comes to pets, I am a huge animal lover! I have my own little “mini zoo” at home with 4 dogs and 3 cats. They are my babies, and I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets. I would want anyone caring for my pets to treat them with the same love, patience, and attention that I do, and I bring that same level of care to other’s fur babies. I am also comfortable around reptiles and other types of animals. I would describe myself as caring, patient, dependable, attentive, and responsible. I am also a perfectionist when it comes to providing my best work. If you give me your preferred routine and standard of care, I will follow it closely and make sure your loved ones receive the attention and care you expect. My goal is for you to feel comfortable and confident knowing that your children, pets, and home are in good hands. If you need pictures or updates through the job, just ask!
