Her years of teaching experience really show in the way she interacts with our children. She is wonderful at handling my kids.

$16 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Sugar Land, TX

Hi! My name is Ruth, and I’m a high school senior planning to attend college next fall to study Construction Management. I’m a responsible, patient, and caring person who enjoys helping others and making sure children feel safe and comfortable. I have experience caring for my mom’s friend’s daughter, Belen, who is now two years old. I’ve been helping take care of her since she was 3 months old. I also have experience looking after my younger sister, Alexa, who is 11. Through these experiences, I’ve learned the importance of patience, responsibility, and understanding each child’s individual needs. I enjoy having fun and keeping children entertained, while also making sure they follow appropriate rules and boundaries. My top priority is always the safety and well-being of the children I’m caring for. I’m excited to meet new families and provide dependable, caring, and trustworthy childcare!

“Ruth was amazing with my three kiddos aging 2 to 3. A great communicator, professional and kind. ”

Hannah $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m Hannah, and I’ve lived in the Meyerland area of Houston, Texas, my entire life. I have over 5-10 years of experience working with children in many different settings, including as a teacher’s assistant, in infant and toddler daycares, preschools, and with elementary school-aged kids. I’ve also worked as a camp counselor at a 24-hour sleepaway camp, where I gained experience in creating fun and safe environments for kids of all ages. I have also had the privilege of working with children with autism and ADHD, helping them feel supported and understood while fostering their growth and confidence. Currently, I’m on the path to a career in the legal field, but I’d love to babysit part-time because I genuinely enjoy caring for children. Building connections, encouraging creativity, and providing a nurturing environment is something I’m truly passionate about. I’d be so excited to bring my experience and love for childcare to your family!
