Hiii ! My name is Abbie and I’m 19 years old, I’m from Washington DC but moved to Texas when I was around 12 !! I love children so much and am in school to be a pediatric nurse !! I’ve been taking care of my baby brother on my own since I was around 10 and I help teach children church at my church on Sundays !

Hi I'm Aishah! I’m a Dallas native with several years of babysitting experience. Throughout high school and college, I babysat young children, gaining hands-on experience caring for their daily needs, keeping them safe, and creating a fun and positive environment! I also worked as a Tumbling Instructor & Cheer Coach, where I trained young athletes in strengthening and tumbling skills, provided private one-on-one instruction, and helped coach elite all-star cheerleading teams. This experience strengthened my patience, communication, and ability to adapt to each child’s individual needs and personality. I genuinely enjoy working with children and love helping them learn, grow, and build confidence! I’m attentive, responsible, and enthusiastic, and I understand the importance of creating an environment where children feel safe, supported, and encouraged. Whether it’s helping with activities, keeping kids engaged, or simply being a dependable presence for a family, I bring a caring and positive attitude to everything I do :)

“On time & Very flexible in scheduling. My daughter engaged with her in a positive way so that’s always a good sign. ”

I have years of experience caring for children. I have raised two beautiful children of my own. I have been a state certified In-home daycare provider in the states of Texas and North Carolina. My most recent certification, in the state of Texas, was 2[removed]. I recently closed my daycare and relocated to the Dallas/Ft. Worth area to be closer to my daughter, who is expecting my second grandchild in January. I will provide references upon request.
