Hi! My names Dave and I have a passion for working with children. I find them to be very fun and outgoing. They bring me happiness knowing I am able to help them and bring joy to them. I am a very fun and optimistic person. I like to find ways to create and make fun activities for the children. That is making a small tent out of covers or playing games outside.

Thank you.

Hi! My name is Eliza Lopez, I’m 20 years old & a full time college student at the University of Texas SA! My junior year is this fall but I’m all online! With that being said I’m looking for a family to help nanny with that is consistent! Much easier & special to bond with babies when it’s not just every other weekend or so, which I don’t mind I’m just looking & prefer a somewhat set schedule! I’m the eldest of 6 siblings & eldest of my cousins through my close knit family & have always loved caring for and being around kids! My youngest to care for currently is 8 months! I mostly did nannying in high school, after school or weekends but my actual last nanny job was last year with the Elkins Family! Firefighter & Paramedic so when there schedules would meet up I did 24hr shifts with the kids aged 3 & 7! That included meal prep, putting to bed, showering etc! I loved them but got a great opportunity to do work study at school so I ended with them in Feb 2020! Thank you:)
