Booked by 1 family in Barker, TX

Hello! My name is Aleah thank you so much for taking the time to review my profile. My hope is to create a fun, caring and nurturing environment for your child and or pet. Allow me to introduce myself: Childcare Experience I began caring for children as a teenager through my church’s childcare services. I started in the nursery, caring for children ages newborn to one year old. I was responsible for diaper changes when needed, making sure the babies had plenty of age-appropriate toys and activities to stimulate their developing minds, and helping maintain nap time. I also made sure the babies were comforted whenever they began to miss their parents and, of course, safely returned them to their parents when church was over. As a young adult, I worked at a daycare with children ages four to five. I led pre-kindergarten after-school care, helping create a safe, nurturing, and positive environment. I assisted the children with homework, encouraged their academic development, and helped them better understand the work they were completing. I also maintained the cleanliness and organization of the classroom to promote a healthy learning space. In addition, I planned and implemented engaging after-school activities that supported the children’s social, creative, and cognitive development. I also have experience working with teenagers ages thirteen to seventeen. During an internship, I worked as a camp counselor where I mentored teenagers through both small- and large-group settings. I supported teens as they worked through emotional, spiritual, and personal challenges. I also participated in a mission trip with the students where we visited neighborhoods and helped provide resources to families in need. Pet Care Experience I have experience caring for my family’s pets, especially when their owners are out of town. This includes making sure they are walked every day, provided with breakfast and dinner, entertained, and cared for until their owners return. I also have experience dog sitting in other people’s homes. This typically includes following their feeding schedule, taking daily walks, providing companionship, and making sure they are comfortable while their owners are away. My Personal Policy One thing I truly stand by is constructive criticism with kindness. I want to make sure that your child or pet is well taken care of at all times so If there is ever any way I can improve please let me know. I look forward to working with you!

I have worked with children since I was 10 years old starting with babysitting for friends and family. When I got older I learned I wanted to be a social worker as I am now trying to get my social work degree from Texas State University through online courses. I have experience in working with children who are on the spectrum (4+ years), working at a daycare, and working at church through Sunday school to teach children about God. I have a CPR certification. I have a cat and two dogs of my own.

Anthea $22 per hour for 1 child

Hello! I am an experienced educator and caregiver with more than 25 years of experience working with children from infancy through high school. I hold teaching certifications in general education (Early Childhood–6th Grade), special education (Early Childhood–12th Grade), and technology applications (Early Childhood–12th Grade), and I have spent my career helping children learn, grow, and thrive. My approach to caregiving is calm, patient, and responsive. I believe children do best when they feel safe, supported, and genuinely cared for. Whether we're reading books, playing games, working on homework, exploring creative activities, or simply enjoying time together, I focus on building positive relationships while providing structure and consistency. I have extensive experience supporting children with a wide range of learning styles, personalities, and needs, including children with dyslexia, ADHD, anxiety, and other learning differences. I am also trained in trauma-informed practices and child development. On a personal note, I am a mom, former Division I student-athlete, and lifelong educator who genuinely enjoys spending time with children. I love helping young people discover their strengths, build confidence, and have fun while learning about the world around them. I would be honored to support your family and provide dependable, nurturing care for your child.

"We absolutely LOVE Isa — our family was so fortunate to have found her through UrbanSitter. I'm a first-time mom, and it took me a long time to find a full-time nanny I could trust to care for our sweet infant boy. Our boy connected with her immediately, and we couldn't have asked for anyone else to care for him. Her calming presence was also perfect for parents like us who work from home. We feel so lucky UrbanSitter helped us find someone who has truly become a part of our family."

"I was so stressed about finding a part-time nanny for my 14-month-old son, who has moderate separation anxiety and hadn't been left with anyone but family before, but we were both immediately at ease in Buhay's presence. Her empathy and commitment to understanding child development are apparent in every interaction I've witnessed between her and my toddler. I feel very lucky to have found her."

Kamilah W., mom of one

"Erna watched our now 5 year old daughter and 3 year old son for a few years. She is punctual, responsible, honest, and playful. What we appreciated most was that she was thoughtful in ensuring that we had a little break; for example, when the kids were clingy, she was able to divert their attention with games or songs or walks to the park. We felt very comfortable leaving our kids with Erna because of her caring nature and experience that spans a decade (including being a live-in nanny)."
