Booked by 1 family in Richardson, TX

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.

Booked by 29 families in Richardson, TX

Hello! I am a loving, playful, creative professional Ballerina, Early Childhood Educator, and Nanny. I have been a regular part time nanny for multiple families in NYC for the past 10 years and am in Dallas for a few weeks to work at the Opera. (I am actually still with a family that I met when I first joined Urbansitter- through the birth of their second child and a move!) I strive to provide a loving, peaceful environment, and to nurture all areas of development for these wonderful little humans. In addition to more than a decade of hands on experience, I have been trained in childhood development through movement with Dionne Kamara, and through sensory play with Jennie Monness at Union Square Play. I have since joined the staff there as a Lead Educator and a Co-Creator of the ‘Dance! Play! Ballet!’ curriculum. I base my approach to nannying on the Montessori, Reggio Emilia, and RIE philosophies that I have been exposed to and experienced in my work. I am Infant CPR/First Aid certified.

Hi parents, My name is Roma and I love babysitting/dog sitting. I believe it’s important to take care of those who cannot take care of themselves. I have a big family and they’ve instilled important values and professional work ethics on me. I work in the medical field as a pharmacy technician. It’s a rewarding experience as I keep in touch with my patients occasionally , as you build long-lasting relationships throughout the months and sometimes years! I volunteer, as well through CERT. It’s an acronym for Community Emergency Response Team. We prepare/train fellow community members in what to do incase there is an emergency life-threatening situation. As you can see..I like to stay busy and keep my mind sharp. I look forward to meeting you and your family soon and hopefully building fun memories :]

Booked by 18 families in Richardson, TX

Hello! My name is Ariana and I am a graduate student. I am offering child care, dog care, and household services. I have been babysitting since I was 12-13 years old watching newborns, infants, toddlers, and kids. I have been responsible for driving to/from school, crafts, driving to/from after-school activities, and completing chores. I love hanging out and doing activities that the children enjoy, while teaching life and communication skills that are age appropriate! (ex. maintaining a clean room, completing homework, communicating needs, etc.) For house sitting, I have been responsible for watering plants, collecting mail, and regularly checking in on the house when needed. I am comfortable with most pets, but am most familiar with dogs.
