Hello everybody! My name is Alexia and I cannot wait to meet you and your kiddos. I’m currently at Tarleton State University with plans on becoming a Speech Language Pathologist. I have 5+ years of experience working at daycares and in the school districts. I am also CPR and First Aid Certified. I love what I do, but I’m looking for something more flexible!

Hello! My name is Ava Marie. I’ll be attending UTA in the fall. I have worked in the service industry, and I’m transitioning into childcare because I love teaching kids to be creative and free in spirit! When it comes to my experience, I have helped raise my younger twin sisters my entire life. I love being playful, spending time outdoors, and being active! I am naturally a silly person that loves being around children because they are youthful and easy to inspire! I am a phenomenal role model for kids to look up to! I would love to work as a teacher in Spain or in Costa Rica! I admire the gentle parenting approach, and would love to gain some insightful parenting skills from working in different family dynamics. I am currently looking for part time work, and have flexible availability. Please let me know if you have any questions!
Hi! My name is Shanjay and I’m a caring babysitter with a genuine love for working with children. My full time job is a nurse however, I want to explore other means of extra income being of an assistance to others in need. I am a parent of 3 adult children, 20,19, 17 so I am well equipped to handle children with gentle care. I will provide a safe environment as well as some fun with activities such as crafting, playing games, helping with homework. I’m also CPR child and adult certified with American heart. I am happy to help with light housekeeping or meal prep.
*Not available to sit for sick (contagious) children* Having been on UrbanSitter close to its inception in 2014, I have over 25 years experience in childcare. I’ve worked with infants to 15-year-olds, and earned my certificate for early childhood development with the University of Oklahoma. I have worked in a nursery, as a teacher's assistant in an after school care program, as a nanny and mother’s helper. For over four years I was contracted by a sitting agency in Oklahoma and Dallas and was chosen twice as Sitter of the Month based on requests and family feedback. I am CPR and First Aid Certified. I am attentive to routines and guidelines while also connecting to kids with silly playtime. I am also very artsy and love to create things with kids, sing and make up stories and characters. Several families ask me back multiple times, and I look forward to meeting yours!
