Hi there! My name is Anarra, and by day, I am a elementary school music teacher! Kids of all ages have been my life for as long as I can remember, from taking care of my younger siblings as a child, to getting my first babysitting job for the neighbors at age 12, and nothing brings me greater joy than earning the trust and love of a child. I have worked with all ages from newborn - middle school aged, and I have experience with multiples, as well as premies. I have nannied full time for two different families with twins (2mo old boys, and 6mo old girls) and still do the occasional date night with both families! I do mostly date nights and weekends, but have also worked with two families as a night nanny, starting with babies as young as 2 weeks! I love to sing and dance, and play, and I’m always down for a round of dress up or playing with trains and monster trucks. I have two degrees, one in Music Education, and one in early childhood education. I have dedicated my life to loving and caring for children, and in my opinion, there’s nothing better in the world. I look forward to meeting you!
“We had a great experience with Anarra. She sat for us three times during our visit to the area, including picking up two shifts at the last minute when our needs suddenly changed. She patiently cared for two toddlers who were having a hard time adjusting to new time zones while we were traveling, and the kids quickly took to her. If we lived locally we would certainly keep using her!”
Hi I’m Ezra! Taking care of little ones (whether they have 2 feet or 4 paws) has been a joy of mine since I was a teenager. I always volunteered to watch my teachers kids after school/during the summer and I eventually was asked to do more and get paid for it as well! This included pet and house sitting for extended periods of time/during long vacations. My love for caring comes from I my experience with my 4 nieces and nephews (2 of each) and they range in age from kindergartener to college sophomore. I helped my sister raise/co-parent my youngest niece and nephew while she was going through a tough time and it really opened my eyes and my heart to wanting to continue caring for others in any way possible! I’m an Early Childhood Educator and after school art teacher so I have all my proper licensing through both the state of Texas and Austin ISD and have passed several rounds of background checks; first aid training; and adult, child, and infant BLS + CPR certifications. During the school day my focus is on preparing kiddos (ages 6 weeks-5 years) for elementary school through a play-based curriculum with a focus on social-emotional learning and self-regulation. At my after school job we focus on helping kids be Creative Artists, Critical Thinkers, Confident Leaders and Courageous Allies in the 21st century through various arts curricula so I have a ton of arts and crafts activities in the back of my pocket suitable for ages 1-101! I love being able to bring creativity to children and helping them explore what they are most drawn to while also empowering them to be the leaders of our future. Feel free to ask me any questions you may have and I’d be more than happy to answer them ASAP!
Hi - My name is Lyric, I am 28 and I am a graduate of Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi with my bachelors in kinesiology. I am offering child care and household services, I am also Covid vaccinated! I have been babysitting and taken on roles as a nanny for the last 5 years since I moved to Austin with kids ages ranging from as young as 3 months old to 12. I have loved being a babysitter since I was a young girl helping my mom out with my younger brothers and have been watching toddlers, and kids for the past 8 years as a gymnastics coach. My responsibilities have included driving to/from school for some of my gymnasts and having between 8-12 girls in my care for hours at a time. I currently work full time as a physical therapy tech/aide while applying this year for Physical Therapy school! My full time job hours are M/W until 6pm, TH/F until 5pm! If references are needed especially for little ones between 3-12 months old I can provide those as well!
**Only available for occasional jobs due to my work schedule** Hi! My name is Nicole and I am a UT Austin and Texas Tech HSC alumni. I have a Bachelor’s in Human Development & Family Sciences, which essentially means that I studied lifespan human development and relationships with an additional focus on children and family structures. I also have a Bachelor’s in Nursing and have been babysitting for 5 years. I have experience working with elementary-aged children and toddlers through babysitting, after-school programs for students in Austin, and in-classroom teaching experiences at the University of Texas at Austin Priscilla Pond Flawn Child & Family Laboratory. I have also been a summer camp counselor at Kids Across America and an after-school science teacher for MADScience Austin. I volunteered in various sections of Dell Children's Hospital, previously in the Volunteer Services and Child Life department. I later joined the Children’s Comprehensive Care Clinic. I am BLS and First Aid certified. I have worked as a Community Living Specialist, helping children with serious emotional disturbances learn skills to help them remain independent and in their homes with their parents/caregivers. I have also worked with middle school and high school students at my local church for the past 3 years. I currently work as an RN in a local hospital. Feel free to message me for availability if you do not see it listed in my calendar!
“Nicole was comforting and fine with my 5 month old! Would hire again!”
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.”
