A little bit about me

Hi! My name is Alyssa, and I’m a current CNA relocating from Alaska back to Texas, where I was raised. I’m currently in college working toward my BSN, with the goal of becoming a pediatric nurse.

I’ve always loved working with children and have lots of hands-on experience caring for my younger siblings, which helped me develop patience, creativity, and a nurturing approach. My background as a CNA has also taught me responsibility, attentiveness, and how to handle situations calmly and safely.

I enjoy creating a fun, positive environment for kids while also making sure they feel supported and cared for. Whether it’s helping with routines, homework, or just keeping them engaged with activities, I love being someone families can rely on.

I’m excited to find a great family in Texas and build a strong, trusting relationship!

A little bit about me

I’d really love the chance to care for your little ones. To me, babysitting isn’t just about watching over kids; It’s about creating a space where they feel safe, happy, and truly cared for. I enjoy spending time with children at my former job as a preschool Teacher. However, I disliked the lack of sanitation rules and the lack of one-on-one interaction with children especially those with special needs. I prefer getting to know individual children and to go beyond the basic requirements of a daycare . Either that’s playing, helping them learn new things, or just being someone they can feel comfortable around. I love getting to see their personalities shine and helping them grow in their own special ways.

Hi! My name is Cam! Bringing joy and laughter to children has ALWAYS been a love of mine! I've been babysitting since I was 11 years old when my first sister was born. I now have 4 little siblings ages 8 and under. I am currently enrolled in 100% online classes at NVC and I am majoring in business marketing. I love doing outdoor activities, board games, puzzles, or whatever the kids want to do! I am experienced with all ages. I'll send occasional text / picture updates during my time with the kids and let you know how it went afterwards as well. I'm also more than happy to do light housekeeping when needed. I can't wait for the opportunity to make a positive impact on your child's life! :)
