Hi! My name is Emma and I am a current junior at Texas Tech University. I love working with children, and have been interning at various elementary school classrooms for the last three years, and have experience babysitting for plenty more. I have spent most of my time working with students ranging from kindergarten to fifth grade, but love all ages. I am originally from Colorado and love to be active and explore the outdoors. I grew up playing volleyball and have a deep rooted passion for athletics, but absolutely love arts and crafts too! And of course I always enjoy watching a good Disney movie. I love animals and am always willing to help take care of any pets you might have. I also have a reliable vehicle and am more than willing to take kids to and from any activities or even school! I can’t wait to meet your kiddos!
“Emma was awesome! She was prompt, easy going, and our girl had a blast. She was on top of it with checking in with us and was so sweet. Highly recommend!”
Hi, my name is Cristiana, and I am a freshman at Texas Tech studying psychology. I have a strong background working with children and creating a safe, fun, and supportive environment for them. For three years, I worked as a gymnastics coach after finishing my own competitive gymnastics career. In that role, I coached kids of different ages and skill levels, which taught me patience, clear communication, and how to encourage confidence in children. I learned how to keep kids engaged, manage groups, and ensure everyone stayed safe while still having fun. In addition to coaching, I have been babysitting for about three years in my hometown using the Bambino app. Through babysitting, I’ve gained experience caring for children in a more personal setting, helping with routines, preparing simple meals, playing games, and making sure kids feel comfortable while their parents are away. I would describe myself as responsible, energetic, and attentive. I genuinely enjoy spending time with kids and helping them learn, grow, and have fun in a safe environment.
Hello! My name is Trinity, I am 21, and I am currently attending South Plains College about to obtain my Early Childhood Development certificate. I will then be working in getting my Associates in the Art of Teaching. I love working with kids in the school setting, I am a substitute teacher working with kids of all ages. I do not have any professional experience with babysitting but I am the oldest of 8 kids so I do know how to interact with children in a home setting as well as the school setting as I stated.
Hello, My name is Radley and I am currently a Junior at TTU. I am offering childcare, tutoring, or house-sitting. I have watched my younger sisters since I was 14 years old and have experience watching newborns and toddlers. I have my own cat at home and have experience watching both cats and dogs.
