A little bit about me

Hi! My name is Tiyhana, I’m 20 years old and a Criminal Justice major, graduating May14th 2026. I’m originally from Chicago, but I moved to Austin, Texas to help care for my sick grandfather, which has strengthened my sense of responsibility, patience, and compassion.

I’ve been a nanny and babysitter for several years, caring for children of different ages. I’m very hands on, reliable, and nurturing, and I always make sure children feel safe, supported, and loved while in my care. I’m experienced with daily routines, meals, homework help, playtime, and maintaining a structured yet fun environment.

I take pride in being dependable, attentive, and communicative with parents. I treat every child I care for as if they were my own and always aim to create a positive, calm, and engaging atmosphere. I would love the opportunity to support your family and be someone you can truly trust.

A little bit about me

I am a recent college graduate with the hopes of attending medical school in the future. Until then, I am looking to do something else I am deeply passionate about- caring for children and families. I have more than six years of paid childcare experience. I have travelled with families, participated in long-term placements, and fulfilled short term needs as well.

My family has six children, of which I am the second oldest. Our lively home, and my position in the lineup, made childcare a passion of mine from the start! I work with children of all ages and have a clean driving history.

I enjoy coordinating activities, encouraging movement over screens, and have a deep heart for learning.

I recognize the privilege that exists in stepping into your family's home and promise to do so with the utmost respect and responsibility.

A little bit about me

My name is Madison Skibar, and I’m 22 years old, about to graduate from college. I’ve been babysitting throughout college and am now looking to save money and settle down in South Florida. I’d describe myself as creative, outgoing, and adventurous. I love working with kids because they allow me to express my playful and imaginative side. I’m looking for a job where I can enjoy spending time with children and build lasting relationships with their families. The families I’ve worked with often become more than just a job to me, and I truly value those connections. I started babysitting in high school and later became a gymnastics coach while continuing to babysit during college. In my free time, I like to play mobile games with my younger sisters, cook, and hang out with family and friends. My skills include cooking, engaging kids in fun activities, and ensuring they are safe, happy, and well-behaved in my care.
