Booked by 1 family in Galveston, TX

I come from a large family with lots of cousins, of which I am the oldest girl. I have helped raise many children, and have two children of my own. I have many years of experience, deep cleaning and organizing, as well as had employment at a learning center in Baytown for two years. I worked with ages 6 months to 12 years, and I have been CPR certified for adults, children, and infants. I have a passion for caring for others, and I absolutely love animals. I have cared for rodents, fish, cats, and dogs in the past, and currently have a two year-old mixed breed puppy who I trained myself.

Xoe is an absolute sweetheart. She has a passion for helping people. She's gentle, caring and thoughtful and that's EXTREMELY important.

Alessia $18 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m Alessia, a second-year student at the University of Houston studying biochemistry on the pre-med track. As the oldest of four siblings, I’ve spent years helping care for children and understand the importance of patience, responsibility, and creating a positive environment. I also have 5 years of experience as a Sunday school teacher and 3 years of hospital volunteer experience in the ER, Medical-Surgical, and Pediatrics units. I enjoy working with children and helping them learn, grow, and have fun while staying safe. I’m dependable, attentive, and caring, and I can assist with homework, meal preparation, light housekeeping, bedtime routines, and engaging activities like games and crafts. Families can count on me to provide reliable, compassionate care and clear communication.

$20 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 26 families in Galveston, TX

Hey there, families! I’m Emerald, and I’ve been a babysitter/nanny for over 7 years now. From infants to teenagers, I’ve got experience with kids of all ages. I’ve also worked with children who have special needs, like autism and ADHD. On top of that, I’ve spent 3 years working with senior citizens. Currently, I’m studying nursing at Houston Community College after graduating from Ridge Point High School. Safety is a priority for me, which is why I’m CPR/AED/First Aid certified. I can help with pick-up/drop-off, extracurricular activities, homework, meal prep, and bath time. Plus, I’m happy to cook, clean, assist with animals, and support learning development. I’m also available for date night sitting. I can start as early as 6am and stay as late as 3am. Overnight sitting and traveling are also on the table! I’m comfortable caring for families with dogs and other pets; I just ask that families be mindful of excessive pet hair throughout the home and on furniture. I’m also comfortable caring for sick children and with parents being home during the sitting. I simply ask that parents be mindful that frequent check-ins can sometimes make separation anxiety harder for both the child and me.

Emerald is great. She works fast, timely, and communicates well. My toddler, who has been particularly needy lately, was chill with her. Even though it was my child’s first time really interacting with her.
