My name is Lexie. I’m 24 years old and I am working on my bachelors degree in business at Dallas Baptist University. I have younger siblings, the youngest being 4 years old . I have experience in nursing homes and daycares. I’m super friendly and looking for an extra way to earn income while I’m in school. I appreciate any opportunities! I’m open to part time nannying, occasional babysitting, or even school pickup. Please reach out to me if you would like to discuss anything if you have questions I’d love to answer!
I’m a reliable and nurturing caregiver with experience caring for children and seniors . I’m patient, responsible, and great at multitasking. I’ve worked with all age groups and can help with light housekeeping, meal prep, errands, and homework. Families describe me as dependable, kind, and easy to work with. I take pride in creating a safe, clean, and caring environment.
Hi – My name is Rokeela and I’m a youth teacher at my church and a proud mom of 3. I offer child care, senior care, and household services. I love caring for children and have experience with newborns, infants, toddlers, and older kids. I understand routines, homework help, crafts, and extracurricular activities, and I’m patient, nurturing, and reliable. I also assist with household tasks, including cooking, cleaning, and running errands. I have experience caring for my own family and am comfortable helping seniors with appointments, meals, and daily needs. I have a warm, responsible, and adaptable personality, and I enjoy creating safe, fun, and structured environments for those I care for. I’m happy to work with families with pets and flexible schedules.
I currently work at UT Hospital, where I’ve developed strong responsibility, patience, and communication skills—qualities that also help me when caring for children. Last year, I babysat for my aunt’s friend’s children over an extended period, which gave me valuable hands-on experience with kids of different ages. Through that time, I learned how to understand and adapt to children’s individual personalities, preferences, and needs. I’m familiar with what kids enjoy and what they may dislike, and I always strive to create a fun, comfortable, and safe environment for them. I love engaging with children through play, creative activities, and conversation, making sure they feel cared for and entertained. Whether it’s helping with homework, preparing snacks, or keeping them active, I’m committed to being attentive, reliable, and nurturing while ensuring both parents and kids feel confident and at ease with my care.
Looking for a fun and loving sitter? Well you found her! I'm currently a nursing student at UT Tyler. I'm outgoing, caring, and excited to care for your loved one! I have over 7 years of experience with working with infants and children of all ages. I'm a certified medical assistant, EKG technician, and CPR and First aid/BLS certified. I also have a lot of experience caring for individuals with special needs, seniors, and dogs of all breeds.
