Hello! I am Kierra, I am currently a sophomore at Sam Houston, studying psychology with a minor in applied behavioral analysis. I plan to one day become a child psychologist specializing in childhood trauma. I am the eldest daughter with 3 younger siblings, as well as over 20 cousins, so I have plenty of experience with childcare. I currently work at a hospital as a phlebotomist so I have first aid experience, as well as experience with seniors. I have no problem with cooking, cleaning, helping with homework, working through hard emotions, and having plenty of fun! I have 2 cats, and I helped dog sit through out high-school!
Hi! My name is Tanya! I am a Registered Labor and Delivery Nurse looking to provide quality childcare for families outside of my work at the hospital. I have experience caring for 6wk-2 year olds in my church nursery as well as childcare experience ranging from ages 3-12. My responsibilities have included bedtime routines, morning routines, school drop offs, preparing meals, crafts, and fun! I am an animal lover as well and I’m comfortable caring for dogs and cats. My nursing background gives me unique experience/knowledge on newborn care as well as being Adult/Child/Infant BLS (CPR) certified.

"She was so flexible and came last minute to help out. The house was really neat when I got home and both kids were asleep. Two thumbs up!"

"Thrisa was amazing! Came over last minute and took amazing care of our 11 month old - including bedtime - she's coming back tomorrow :)"
