Selena $15 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Selena a first grade teacher who was born and raised in San Antonio. I’ve been working in the education sector for the past 6 years in South America and here in the United States. I enjoy working with kids and helping them learn through play, find their joy with reading and to allow their inner brilliance to shine through various creative crafts. I received my bachelors in Childhood and Special Education from NYU and my Masters in Responsible Management and Development from the University of Peace in Costa Rica. As a result of my 4 years in South America, I speak conversational Spanish and would love to continue practicing. I currently volunteer with Big Brothers Big Sisters and am apart of the Girl Scout Alum San Antonio chapter. I look forward to meeting your little ones and being a support to your family!

Renata $18 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Renata, and I’m a sophomore at UTSA. I recently started babysitting about a month ago and have absolutely loved it. I enjoy spending time with kids, making them feel safe, comfortable, and happy while creating a fun and positive environment. I’d describe myself as responsible, patient, reliable, and fun. I’m the oldest of three siblings, CPR certified, and fluent in both English and Spanish. I’m also happy to help with homework, light housekeeping, meal preparation, or anything else that helps make life a little easier for parents. In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my family, cooking, baking, and playing padel. I have excellent time-management skills, always bring a positive attitude, and strive to provide dependable care so parents can feel confident their children are in good hands.

Brianna $20 per hour for 1 child

Howdy! My name is Brianna, and I am a 23-year-old San Antonio area local! I am a newlywed as of April and am looking for something to cure my post wedding baby-fever, which is why I am so happy that my family has recently welcomed two beautiful babies via my brother and sister, giving me even more recent infant care experience. Below you will find a little more information about me as a caregiver. Since I became an aunt at 8 years old I have loved working with kids, and have an extensive childcare background. From babysitting throughout high school to working as a babysitter and nanny this past year, I have had great experiences with the families I have worked with. I graduated from UT Austin in 2023 with a bachelors in Deaf education and a minor in American Sign Language. During my time in college I focused intently on child development, especially in language and social/emotional learning. These experiences were both through curriculum and hands on experience as an intern at Texas School for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing. There I was able to be a part of both a Preschool and Elementary STEM program. Since relocating to San Antonio I have also been able to work as a kindergarten/special education teacher at a local San Antonio charter! From my experience in the childcare, education, and food service industries I am a well rounded childcare provider! I worked in a professional setting for almost two years with kiddos ranging from 6 weeks - 6 years. I specialized in infant/toddler care during my time at the child development center, and was able to see so many children grow into fun-loving toddlers! I am adult, pediatric, and infant CPR/AED/First Aid trained not to mention that I also currently have an EvenFlo Pivot stroller and car seat, so I would not need one from you (if necessary) unless you have a preferred brand! Not to mention that as a former professional kitchen worker, I have a Food Handler’s certification as well, so I would be more than happy to help with baby-led weaning if you are interested. Excited to hear from you soon! :)
