A little bit about me

Good afternoon! I’m a 17-year-old high school senior in Dallas (South Oak Cliff area) offering babysitting services. My rate is $15 per hour. I’m available Sunday–Friday from 5 PM to 10 PM, Saturdays from 6 AM to 10 PM, and I can do overnights on Fridays.

I’m comfortable with in-home care. I prefer to stay within the vacinity of the DART sytems. Anything outside of that range would have to be discussed further on a case by case basis. I have five years of babysitting experience for family members and additional experience with young children, including caring for a 2-month-old for a full week (10 AM–5 PM). I also have responsible adult support available to assist with any emergencies that may arise. References are available upon request.

I have a strong love for children and enjoy supporting and helping people in meaningful ways.

A little bit about me

My name is JiGi. I am originally from Nashville, Tennessee, but relocated to Dallas. My passion is helping people and giving back to the community. I have taken care of children since I was 11 years old, because I came from a very large family that often needed child care and help with my elderly family members.

A little bit about me

I have several years of childcare experience through babysitting, coaching, and working as a YMCA summer camp counselor. I have cared for children ranging from infants and toddlers to elementary-aged kids, providing a safe, engaging, and dependable environment while adapting to each child's individual needs.

As a YMCA camp counselor, I supervised and led activities for groups of children, encouraged teamwork, resolved conflicts, and helped create a fun and positive environment throughout the summer. I also spent a year coaching gymnastics and tumbling, where I taught young athletes new skills, built their confidence, and prioritized safety in every lesson.

I currently work as a Medical Assistant and plan to pursue a career in healthcare, giving me experience staying calm in fast-paced situations and working closely with families. I am CPR certified and genuinely enjoy helping children learn, grow, and feel supported in a safe, nurturing environment.

A little bit about me

Hello, I'm Des! I am currently in college studying psychology: specifically regarding child development and social work. I have reliable transportation. I love playing outdoor sports, board games, and educational activities. I'm comfortable with pets, speak English and some Spanish.

A short background of my care history is that I volunteered for 3 years in the children's and youth area of my church, I’ve cared for children of family members, friends of family, and former teachers.

I dont have much experience with children with special needs except for watching over my nephew on a regular basis: he has autism and struggled with speech for a few years. I still hope to provide all the care I can and to the best of my abilities.

Feel free to ask any more questions about me or my experience. I can't wait to connect with you and your kiddos!

A little bit about me

Hi! I’m Alexis I just moved back to Dallas after a year in NYC, and I’m so excited to connect with a new family here! I absolutely love working with kids and bringing a fun, calm, and caring vibe to their day.
I’ve cared for all ages, including newborns, and my past families have always told me how reliable, patient, and loving I am. I’m also a huge dog lover, so if you have pets, that’s a bonus! I’m always happy to help with walks, cuddles, and including them in the daily routine.

Can’t wait to meet a family I can grow with and bring lots of positivity to! 💛
