Hi! I'm Angelina and I'm a 31-year-old nanny in Austin, Texas. I have over 15 years of experience providing babysitting services for dozens of families with children varying in age from 3 months to 12-years-old. I have also spent time volunteering with Autism Ambassadors, Special Olympics, and Building Connections, all organizations aimed at helping children with special needs. I'm very involved in the theater and comedy scene here in Austin which I believe bleeds over into my babysitting style. I love stimulating creativity in children! Doing art projects and putting on skits with kids brings me as much joy as it brings them. If you want to know anything more about me, please don't hesitate to reach out!

“Angelina is a BABY WHISPERER! She is a dream. She arrived on time, was a pleasure to have around, and it was pretty clear from the jump that she is a PRO. I couldn't recommend her highly enough!”

Booked by 34 families in Austin, TX

Welcome! My name is Velvet, and I am a 28-year-old residing in the vibrant Easton Park area of southeast Austin. With a bachelor's degree in Family Studies & Child Development, I bring over a decade of extensive experience working with children to the table. My journey began as a preschool gymnastics coach, transitioning seamlessly into a role as a dedicated preschool teacher. For the past eight years, I have immersed myself in the professional nanny and in-home childcare industry, where I've honed my skills and expertise. My passion lies in child development, and I am committed to implementing developmentally appropriate practices in all aspects of my work. I take delight in organizing engaging outings to parks, playgrounds, The Thinkery, and other enriching locations across Austin. Above all, I prioritize creating a safe and nurturing environment where children feel secure and supported. Tailoring my approach to meet the unique needs of each family I work with is my top priority. My ultimate goal is to cultivate positive and enduring relationships with the families I have the privilege of serving. I am excited about the opportunity to collaborate with you and your family, fostering growth, learning, and unforgettable memories along the way.

“Velvet is amazing! Definitely will use her again- my kids loved her.”

I began my 'nanny' career 25 years ago when I decided to become a massage therapist. As an artist, I knew I needed to supplement my income, but I had no idea how fulfilling it would be to share the awe and wonder of the world with children. Today I consider the responsibility of caring for someone (critters, elderly folk, children) to be a privilege. I have had the pleasure of serving 5 families throughout my nanny career. The 1st child is in law school at Stanford, and the most recent youngster is 11. (I became his nanny when he was born and the work sustained me while I finished my masters degree in Chaplaincy). I served one year as Chaplain at Seton Hospital, and another year working for Hospice Austin. My little buddy still has monthly sleepovers due to our 11 year friendship, and has become my Godson. My interests today include painting, singing, gardening, yoga, long hikes, travel, cooking healthy meals, and a daily spiritual practice to keep gratitude first and foremost in my life. I am certified in CPR, and have completed three years of American Sign Language at ACC. (certified). Volunteer work with Hospice Austin brought me to the awareness of how precious life is and the importance of practicing being mindful and present with the life of another. Little people ( and big peeps too), deserve to feel safe, be listened to and have their emotional and physical needs met. I am a non smoker, non drinker, non TV watcher. I am dependable, and honest. I do not use my phone in the presence of children, unless looking up GPS for the nearest park, or treasure hunt! How am I with little ones? I have been called 'I love Lucy' due to my sense of humor, and one mom has referred to me as a cross between 'Maria' in the Sound of Music and Mary Poppins. I enjoy sharing art projects, experiments in the kitchen, reading, making up plays, playing instruments, cooking, and lots of time outdoors exploring trees, bugs, and bike rides.

Booked by 15 families in Austin, TX

Hello, my name is Cinthia! I am currently a Ph.D. student in School Psychology at the University of Texas at Austin. I have a Masters degree in School Psychology from UT and a Bachelors of Arts in Psychology with minors in Education Studies and Applied Developmental Psychology from UCLA. I worked at a childcare center at UCLA with infants and toddlers for 3 years. I currently work at a community mental health clinic providing therapy to children, teens, and families. I also provide services as several elementary schools and community organizations around Austin. I love interacting, working and learning from children of all ages. I operate on the philosophy that children are all active agents of their own learning and a caregivers' role is to foster, scaffold, and facilitate their experiences, especially through play and fun activities.

Booked by 1 family in Austin, TX

I’m a responsible, patient, and caring person who genuinely enjoys helping families and creating a safe, comfortable environment for children. I’m dependable, organized, and attentive, while still being fun and easygoing. I’m comfortable helping with daily routines, meals, homework, playtime, and keeping things tidy around the home. I’m also good at following instructions and adjusting to each family’s preferences and routines. I understand how important it is for parents to feel confident about who they’re leaving their children with, so I take communication, safety, and reliability seriously. I’d love the opportunity to support a family and make their day a little easier.
