I have been professionally caring for children since October 17, 2017. I started occasional sitting until I started watching a 3 year old and 6 month old on a part-time evening basis and another part-time position on Saturdays for a 7 year old. I began a full-time teaching job for Dallas public schools as a first grade teacher in August 2018 but decided to return to nannying/babysitting. I have many 5 star reviews on the other two childcare websites and can give additional references for families where I cared for infants as young as 4 weeks old. I am a retired psychologist and worked with children throughout my 30 years of counseling. While this did not entail "caring" for children, it did require being able to talk to and understand them at a very deep level. Most of my experience with children has been to raise my own two who are now a paramedic and a public school teacher and I have been having my 3 grand children come visit with me on weekends from infancy to now. The eldest is 8 years old. I was a girl scout leader for 10 years when the girls were 5, until they were 15. I took them camping on weekends and on two trips, one out of state and one out of the country. I am definitely a fun babysitter and even bring my own board games, but I have no problem with limits and boundaries. I am very responsible. I am healthy and energetic and can get down on the floor to play with kids. I love to cook, especially healthy food. I am good with dogs & cats. I am a non-smoker and a former life-guard and have a accident/ticket free driver's license. Thank you for reading this.

Hello I’m Amber, a mom of 2, and I have a lot of experience working with kids 6wks-teens as a former director/owner/ educator of a licensed daycare home for over 7 years. I chose a different career path after covid but I really love kids in my core. Over the past 27yrs, I have also worked at recreation centers, 24-hr daycares, non-profits for daycare accreditation, Head Start & ECI (Early Childhood Intervention) I understand different parenting styles, living arrangements, so there's no judgement, just quality care, and the need to go with the flow of life. I'm a basketball mom as well so I figured I give this a shot too lol. I have some free time to play outside of my current part-time position and would love to help you parents out.

Amber was wonderful with my son. She adapted to him very quickly and remained attentive to his needs. Before I left, she encouraged him to come out of his bedroom and play in the living room so they could become more comfortable with each other. He slept through most of the night, and when he briefly woke up, she changed his diaper and helped him settle right back to sleep without any issues. I appreciated how calmly and independently she handled everything, and I felt comfortable knowing my son was in good hands. I would definitely book her again.

Hi there! I’m Kelsy, and I’ve spent most of my career working with children of all ages, from infants to school-aged kids. With experience as a daily teacher in childcare settings, plus running afterschool programs and summer camps, I’m passionate about creating fun and educational experiences for kids. Whether we’re coloring, reading stories, or doing creative crafts, I love making every moment with kids both enjoyable and meaningful. I’m excited to bring that energy and experience to your family!

Kelsy is a wonderful babysitter. She arrived on time, she listened to all my instructions and she played with my son throughout the entire time. We strongly recommend her.

My experience ranges from weeks old to pre-teens. Including a child with autism. I also worked for a child care facility for 9 months. I started with the infants, and was later relocated to the pre-kinder class. Due to a shortage in workers. I enjoy being interactive with children by playing, and teaching. Weather that is being out doors, coloring, reading, or even teaching the younger kiddos ABC’s, 123’s, days of the week, etc, even Spanish. CPR, AED, and First Aid Certification are currently expired but I am currently working on renewing. I can’t wait to meet you and your babies, and become your go to girl when you need the extra eyes and hands, or even just to have a mommy/daddy day off! 💗
