Hello! I am a full time university student and babysit for families in Austin part-time. I plan to continue my education and pursue a career in child linguistic development and bilingual education. I am an emergent bilingual myself, and like to speak Spanish with young learners if parents desire. I am always open to assist with chores, homework, meal-prep, rides, or pet care. As the oldest of 5, I grew up caring for my siblings and now find joy in meeting and caring for the children in my community. I would describe myself as compassionate, hardworking, reliable, and fun! Depending on age, I enjoy engaging in a variety of activities with kids. I’m looking forward to meeting you and you family and providing care!

I’ve lived in Austin about five years now—as one of those California transplants. I recently left behind my bartending career of ten years and put my real estate license on hold, to be a full time mom to my daughter and wouldn’t have it any other way!

I would like to invite you and your family into my home to meet my family! I am looking to provide care from my own home since I am a full time mom. My daughter and I love to go on walks around the neighborhood and play in her room. We stay away from screen time as much as possible.

My husband and I live off slaughter and old lockheart. I am extremely organized but also easy going. I enjoy running my own home and taking care of my daughter, husband, & two boxers. I am flexible and willing to work out details to better serve my family and yours!
