Hello, My name is Andrea, and I am a 25-year-old who enjoys engaging with children. I have worked with kids practically my whole life, from working in a clinical setting with kids on the autism spectrum to running the Sunday school department at my local church. I am currently working towards my bachelor's degree in psychology. I am also bilingual (fluent in Spanish), which may be something the children would enjoy learning.
Hi! I’m a bilingual (English/Spanish) elementary educator with 10+ years of experience teaching and tutoring kids. Families describe me as warm, patient, and organized. I love creating fun, screen-light activities, helping with homework/reading, preparing simple meals, and keeping bedtime routines calm and consistent. I’m comfortable with pets, can do light housekeeping, and I’m happy to send updates so you feel at ease. Available for date nights, weekends, school breaks, and occasional overnights. Your child’s safety, confidence, and joy are always my top priorities.
My name is Sparkle. I was born and raised in Los Angeles, California, and moved to Texas with my family in 2014, where I completed my high school education. I currently own and operate my own hair business, which provides me with steady income and the flexibility to spend my time doing what I truly love—caring for others. Caregiving has always been a natural part of my life. I have extensive experience with infants and toddlers, having grown up surrounded by childcare from a very young age. My mother worked for a child care, and I often accompanied her to work, where I was able to observe loving, professional childcare environments and connect with children regularly. I also helped care for younger siblings, cousins, nieces, and nephews, and I have lovingly supported family and friends by babysitting their children over the years. Many of my close friends are parents, and I have been present in their children’s lives from birth, watching them grow and supporting them along the way. I also have experience providing compassionate care for seniors. Caring for my grandfather during hospice was a deeply meaningful experience that strengthened my patience, empathy, and emotional awareness. It taught me how important gentleness, dignity, and presence are when supporting someone through vulnerable moments. In addition, I have a lifelong background in pet care, having grown up with dogs my entire life. I am comfortable with feeding, walking, playtime, and offering pets the attentive, loving care they deserve. At my core, I am a deeply caring and attentive person. I am patient, kind, loving, and warm-hearted, and I take pride in creating a calm, safe, and nurturing environment where others feel seen, supported, and genuinely cared for.
Hi, families. My name is Diya, and I am an incoming sophomore attending the University of Maryland. I am so excited to get to know, meet, and spend time with your family. I love bonding with children, especially with new, creative, and engaging activities that keep them stimulated and having a good time. I have worked at many children's tutoring services, all throughout high school, where I was exposed to various personalities and energy levels among children. I have also spent many years babysitting for my community when parents go out for date nights or other leisure activities. I also have interned at many pediatric dental clinics, as I am a pre-dental student so I have skills on working with any anxiety children may have in uncomfotable situations. Lastly, I have worked in daycares and summer camps with large groups of children over the summers. I am also able to do household services such as laundry, dishes, and cleaning the house. I have a large dog, so I would also be able to take care of any pets based on your requests. I am also CPR and AED certified to ensure that you feel safe leaving your child with me.
