I'm a mother of 2 smart children, I love motherhood and to encourage kids to be the best they can be. I have experience with kindergarten children as a teacher assistant in Orlando, FL. I'm a professional business administrator, working to become a certified teacher here in Houston, TX. I can take care of your little ones, help with light housekeeping, grocery shopping, crafts, swimming supervision, remote learning, errands, after-school classes, and laundry. I have my own vehicle. I like every step of children's development and have the patience to listen, understand and clarify any doubts that they have. Kids are smart and they understand loving advice from grownups. I speak fluent English and Spanish.

Hi! My name is Grace, and I’m a 19 year old at Baylor University. I have always loved caring for children and plan on taking a career path in Psychology for adolescents. I grew up with a special needs brother, so I am very familiar on how to take care of a child with special needs. I am looking forward to helping out with you and your family!

“We absolutely love Ms Bella and feel so lucky to have found her! She has extensive experience working in Montessori-certified schools and truly brings that knowledge into her caregiving. Her years of teaching experience really show in the way she interacts with our children. She is wonderful at handling my kids. What I appreciate most is how she encourages discipline and independence in such a positive and nurturing way. If you’re looking for a sitter with strong Montessori experience who will genuinely care for your children while helping them grow, I highly recommend her!”

Alisi $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m a licensed social worker currently working part-time, which gives me a flexible schedule for childcare. I have years of experience caring for children and was a full-time nanny before starting university. I’ve cared for children of different ages and love creating a fun, safe, and nurturing environment where kids feel comfortable and supported. I also have nieces and a nephew who I absolutely adore, so spending time with children has always been a big part of my life. Through my professional experience, I’ve also had the opportunity to work with pediatric patients, which has given me additional experience understanding children’s individual needs, personalities, and emotions. I genuinely love working with children and would be happy to help with everything from playtime and activities to homework, meals, routines, and bedtime. My goal is always for both the child and parents to feel comfortable, safe, and confident in my care
