Find a last-minute babysitter in Temple, TX

I was caregiver to Roberta Newton for two plus years.Renal failure and Cancer diagnosis. I am Patient and Understanding as well as empathetic. I have children of my own one of whom presently reside with me.. My mother died of Cancer also and not having the money me and my sister had to care for her until her passing. That was my first experience...three months until she left this place. Have had many dogs in my lifetime and know their habits and behaviors pretty well. Roberta required full live in care services so I got very knowledgeable of proper care and needs to be aware of as well as how to deescalate and or give space as needed... making sure all appointments were kept and medication picked up and administered accordingly. Hygiene upkeep, freshly made beds, washing linens regularly etc.

Hi! I’m Courtney, a dedicated, nurturing caregiver with over 18 years of hands-on experience working with children of alI ages! I have 16 years (and counting ) in the school district, 9 years in a school clinic, and 2 years in a daycare caring for newborns through age five. I’ve spent most of my life helping kids learn, grow, feel better, and feel safe—sometimes all in the same hour😂 I’m calm under pressure, great with routines, and genuinely enjoy the little quirks that make each child their own tiny universe. Whether it’s soothing a fussy baby, guiding a busy toddler, or supporting a school-age kid through homework and big feelings, I bring patience, humor, and reliability with me. If you’re looking for a caregiver who’s experienced, warm, and truly loves working with children, I’d love to be part of your family’s village.☺️

Hi families! My name is Tiarra, and I am a dedicated care professional looking to provide premium, reliable childcare and specialized behavioral support on weekends. I offer a unique blend of extensive practical experience, combining 20 years of informal childcare for family and friends with 15 years of professional, paid caregiving. Currently, I work full-time as a Qualified Mental Health Professional (QMHP) in the Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities (IDD) field. My professional background also includes serving as an HHSC Service Coordinator and a CPS Investigator for the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services. Additionally, I am an active Master of Health Administration (MHA) candidate, which drives my strict commitment to the absolute highest standards of safety, structure, and administrative organization. Because of my background, I specialize in providing exceptional care for families with neurodivergent or special needs children (including autism and ADHD). However, I am equally skilled at managing busy, fast-paced, multi-child households. I focus on creating a warm, encouraging environment where children learn self-regulation and independence through structured play, arts, and sensory activities. I am a strict non-smoker, fully CPR/First Aid certified, and drive my own reliable vehicle. I love pets and am happy to assist with light housekeeping or meal preparation to keep your home running smoothly. I look forward to giving you 100% peace of mind during your time away!

Hi, my name is Mita! I’ve had experience teaching, tutoring, sitting, and I helped raise my 3 nephews. I genuinely enjoy interacting with kids! Looking forward to hearing from you!

I have been working professionally with children for over 9 years and have babysat children between the ages of 1 month and 13 years. I have experience with date night sitting, and morning and after school pick up. Responsibilities include travel to and from after school activities, indoor and outdoor play time, meal preparation, homework help, bath time supervision and help, and bedtime supervision. Regarding infants and toddlers, there were additional responsibilities such as feeding and burping, diaper changing, and safely putting the infant to sleep. I also completed light household chores, such as putting away leftover toys and organizing play spaces, cooking, washing dishes, sweeping floors, and cleaning the kitchen and dining area. I have overseen children during play dates and birthday parties, and am comfortable with babysitting multiple children at once. I always recognize the importance of keeping children mentally and physically challenged. I believe that I have the awareness to teach children how to fix and learn from their mistakes in a way that they will understand while maintaining an environment that is fun and safe. Distance is no problem for me, since I have a driver’s license and a car, and I am willing to add a child car seat to travel with children. I love working with pets, and have professionally walked and cared for dogs for over 4 years and cats for over 11 years. I have cared for dogs and cats for both short term (1-2 days) and long term (7+ days) periods, and can care for your pets while babysitting if needed, as well as when you are away from home. I am available for last minute gigs and am flexible working longer hours or morning/weekend hours. Babysitting is a difficult yet rewarding line of work. It requires a unique kind of problem solving that allows me to interact with children in the way my babysitters interacted with me. I believe that I am the living example of the quote "It takes a village to raise a child". To me, there’s nothing more unifying and empowering than that-- participating in the ‘village’ of individuals to help promote the growth of a child. As I learn more about myself and follow my dreams, I am always delighted for the opportunity to push children to follow theirs.
