Hello! My name is Tajah. I have been substitute teacher for about 5 years and will be starting on my teacher certification soon. I have experience as a long-term sub for general ed and special needs students. I'm also a nanny for a couple of students that I have taught. I change diapers, watch your kids, feed hem, entertain them or keep them busy, etc and I have experience with bathing, clothing, and even doing their hair. I have also worked with a young lady who was wheel chair bound and couldn't do pretty much anything by herself.
Hello, I am Miss Nonette, I’ve worked with children from infants to school age (including children with special needs) for over twenty years. Before moving to Texas, I was a preschool teacher before switching to tutoring reading to early school-age children. I am Montessori certified, and I am First Aid/ CPR certified. I enjoy seeing children develop and flourish in whatever capacity stage. In addition, I have also worked for senior care and adults with special needs. I am allergic to cats and prefer no pets in the house. If you are looking for any of these services, such as date night, occasional childcare, senior care, or tutoring service, Please reach out to me by email at [removed] or call[removed] (It's always best to leave as detailed a message as possible, including the time and duration you need the service and your child's age.) I look forward to meeting you soon.

Hello I’m Amber, a mom of 2, and I have a lot of experience working with kids 6wks-teens as a former director/owner/ educator of a licensed daycare home for over 7 years. I chose a different career path after covid but I really love kids in my core. Over the past 27yrs, I have also worked at recreation centers, 24-hr daycares, non-profits for daycare accreditation, Head Start & ECI (Early Childhood Intervention) I understand different parenting styles, living arrangements, so there's no judgement, just quality care, and the need to go with the flow of life. I'm a basketball mom as well so I figured I give this a shot too lol. I have some free time to play outside of my current part-time position and would love to help you parents out.
I’m a caring, patient, and reliable person who loves working with children. I’ve taken care of younger siblings and family members. I’m good at keeping kids engaged, safe, and having fun. I enjoy planning simple activities, helping with snacks, maintaining routines, and creating a calm environment. Families can rely on me to be responsible and communicative.
