Hi! I’m a Psychology student-athlete at the University of Texas. I love working with children, & I have worked at a nature-based daycare for the past 3 summers. Child Care: I have 3 summers of experience working at a nature-based daycare, primarily caring for children ages 18m-6 years old, but on occasion I would care for babies ages 6m-17m as well. I am comfortable changing diapers, potty training support, helping with meals, supervising children, and creating a safe and positive environment. Certifications or training: I am CPR certified, First Aid certified, and have a water safety training certificate. Activities I enjoy with children: I love taking children on walks, going to parks, playing outside, doing nature-based activities, arts and crafts, reading, games, and different types of creative and active play. Skills: I can help with homework and tutoring, cook and prepare meals and snacks, and keep children engaged with age-appropriate activities. Senior Care Experience: I do not have professional senior-care experience yet, but I am very willing to learn and provide caring, patient, and dependable support. Non-medical skills: I can help with cooking, meal preparation, light cleaning, organizing, errands, grocery shopping, companionship, and other everyday household tasks. Experience with pets: I have 4 cats of my own and have been around plenty of dogs. I am comfortable caring for dogs and cats and am happy to work with different breeds and sizes. Household Services: Through childcare and everyday responsibilities, I am comfortable helping keep spaces clean, organized, and running smoothly.

Hi there, my name is Yvonne. I speak both English and Spanish. I've worked with kids between the ages of 6 months-18 years old. *I am CPR/First Aid Certified through 08/2028 I like to spend my days reading, cross-stitching, and hanging out with my family. I love spending time outdoors playing all types of sports, coloring, painting, and other creative (and messy) activities! I'm very empathetic and caring, especially with those I love. My current aspiration is to continue to teach children how to be the best versions of themselves and foster their creativity!

“Yvonne arrived right on time, was very friendly and respectful, and flexible when I was running a little late. ”

Booked by 97 families in Austin, TX

Hi! I’m Melissa! I work full-time in Project Management Monday–Friday and offer occasional babysitting on evenings and weekends. I have 20 years of experience caring for children of all ages, from newborns through teens. I’m comfortable caring for multiple children at once and have experience with everything from regular date-night sitting to overnight and travel-based care. I’m also a mom to a 2-year-old daughter, so I know firsthand how much patience, flexibility, and fun little ones need! I’m a hands-on sitter who genuinely enjoys spending time with kids. I love doing arts & crafts, playing games, getting outside for walks or playtime, reading books, or winding down with a movie. I always try to make babysitting feel fun and comfortable while keeping your child’s routine and your parenting style in mind. When I’m not working or babysitting, I love traveling, spending time with my family, and being outdoors. I’m also a huge animal lover with two cats and a dog, so I’m more than happy to care for your furry family members too! 😊
