I’m currently a student at the University of Illinois, studying elementary education with about two years of childcare experience. I’ve helped raise my 3-year-old nephew while his mom balances work and school, and I also work in my local church’s Sunday school, gaining hands-on experience with children of all ages. While I enjoy working with kids of all ages, I especially love caring for toddlers and elementary-aged children. In addition to childcare, I can assist with household chores and errands. I also have extensive pet care experience, having worked at a pet daycare and boarding center and volunteered at a veterinary clinic. Although not completely fluent, I am familiar with Spanish and American Sign Language. My availability is very flexible, and I have my own car. I’m dedicated to creating safe, engaging, and nurturing environments for children and pets alike. Please feel free to reach out if you’d like to set something up!
Hello! My name is Pelin, and I work with families in Katy providing childcare, meal prep, light housekeeping, and a safe, caring environment for children. As a mother of two, I have many years of personal and professional childcare experience with infants, toddlers, and school-age children. I help with school pickups, meals, routines, bedtime, and fun activities, and families describe me as dependable, warm, and trustworthy. I am CPR and First Aid trained, comfortable with pets, and have reliable transportation. I’m available for evening childcare after 6:00 PM on weekdays, as well as weekends, date nights, and overnight care. I enjoy supporting families in a positive and respectful way and would be happy to share references upon request. I look forward to connecting with families in the Katy/Houston area!
Hi! I’m gabi and I study architecture at the University of Houston! (Go coogs!!). I have been working at child care since I turned 18 as a way to pay for school. I love having an impact in young children and to teach them to be creative and have fun! I have worked in all classrooms from infants to school age and I have enjoyed getting to know so many families through out the years.
“Gabi was great, my son loved her, she communicated well and showed up on time, very reliable. My kids loved her. ”
Hello! My name is Mahsa. When I was in highscool I was apart of my school's Education and Training Program! My freshman year I took Principles of Education and Training, my sophmore year I took Child Growth and Development, and my junior and senior year I was in the Intructional Practicum. In the practicum, I went to either Tom Wilson, Keiko Davidson, or Odessa Kilpatrick elementary and was a teacher's assistant! Ive taught Prek-5th grade, spedning 6-12 weeks with each class I was helping. I bonded with my students, their parents, and the lead teachers so much. I made lesson plans, organized the classroom, graded assigments, taught class lessons, worked in small groups, worked with students who were apart of the special education program and tutore students indivisually. I now have an Educational Aide I certificate from Texas Education Agency (TEA). I absolutley loved my time with the kids. It made me so happy to know I got to help them grow as people. I was able to build a lot of trust with my students and form a real bond between us. My best memories with them are playing tag with all the kiddos at recess, really getting the chnace to know them through one on one converstaion, and reading books to the class while making sillt voices for the chacters. Right now I'm studying for my Bachlors of Liberal Arts - Psychology, with a minor in Child Development and Family Studies. My biggest dream is to become a childrens therapist. I have a lot of passion for psychology and I LOVE spending time with kids so its the perfect fit for me. :) I have my own car, and am willing to do anything "extra" to accomidate for the needs of the child.
As a certified child care specialist I bring decades of teaching and caring experiences to the table. My goal, as a caregiver is to ensure that your child is safe and well cared for. I currently work at a local child care center and this is one way to share my experience and skill with my community. I am friendly, easy going but thorough and firm. In my less busy moments, I love to cook, and style/raid hair. Families that I have worked with love me and I am sure you would too.
“She is exactly what I was looking for in a caregiver! Experienced, knowledgeable, patient, engaging, and trustworthy.”
