Booked by 1 family in San Antonio, TX

Hello my name is Selena and I am 21 years old. I am originally from California but I moved to San Antonio for college. I am currently a sophomore attending A&M University-San Antonio. I am offering child care, senior care, pet care, and household services. I am the oldest of three siblings and I when I was living at home I helped my mom with babysitting them when needed so I would say I have tons of experience with all ages. I also have experience babysitting elderly as my neighbor from back at home would pay me to watch her mother that was in her 80's. As for animals I myself own a cat along with a snake. My neighbors would hire me to feed their dogs and watch their houses while they were out of town so I also have experience with that as well.

Thanks for your help on such short notice, I appreciate Selena she was on time and asked great questions to assure she could provide the best care for my daughter! Would hire again 🩷

Booked by 7 families in San Antonio, TX

I'm a funny bubbly person, who loves kids. Ever since I was a little kid probably about five or six, my friends grandma said that I would end up working with kids, because at all the gatherings we went to I would always end up taking care of the younger kids. I have about ten years of experience babysitting kids that aren't my younger siblings or cousins. I have babysat kids of all different types of personalities and ages.

Lesleigh arrived early and was very attentive.
