A little bit about me
Hi! My name is Abby, and I’m looking for a nannying position while I’m completing my Master’s degree. I’m 29 years old and recently stepped away from my career to return to school and pursue my passion for health and nutrition.
I have experience nannying for two families, as well as several years of experience working in a daycare. I also have 8 nieces and nephews who I’m really close with and care for often, so I’ve spent plenty of time caring for kids of all different ages and personalities!
I genuinely love being around kids and enjoy creating a fun, safe, and nurturing environment for them. I’m comfortable with all age groups and would love to find a family that feels like a great fit!
I’m moving to Austin at the end of November, so looking to start either December or January!

A little bit about me
I am a career nanny with 25+ years of experience caring for newborns, infants, and toddlers. I have been serving Austin families since 1999 and truly value building long-term, trusting relationships with both parents and children.
I create calm, predictable environments where little ones feel safe, seen, and supported as they grow. I’m experienced with infant routines, sleep foundations, feeding transitions, and early developmental milestones, always approaching each child with patience and attentiveness.
I believe strong communication and collaboration with parents are key. My goal is to step into your home as a steady, dependable presence — offering thoughtful childcare support while respecting your parenting style and household rhythms.
I genuinely love what I do and feel honored to support families during these early years.

A little bit about me
My name is Huei-Yi Gerald, and I am 46 years old. I graduated from high school in Houston TX May 27, 1994 and I graduated with my Associates Degree in Psychology online August 20, 2014. I do not smoke or do drugs. I have 16 years of experience generally speaking taking care of children. My husband Mark and I got married December 10, 2021. We have one son Mark Jr. He will turn 13 January 11, 2023. He is autistic and non verbal. His birth mom gave him up at age 5 while my husband was at work. We have not seen our son for almost 11 months. His caseworker is trying to re-home him and I have made it my life's mission to make sure we are a family of three again permanently. Mark and I need 3500 dollars to fight CPS with our lawyer for our rights and for our son. I love dogs and cats. I love to cook. I love to watch children's programming with children, read stories to them, and coloring. I love Jesus and he has always given me a heart for children. I am kind and patient.

I’m currently going to be attending school in the spring to become a certified dental hygienist and I would love to help my parents pay for my expenses. I’m a social open minded butterfly , I enjoy getting to know people with different interests and hobbies. I’ve found myself getting into oil paints, gardening, literature (I love my romance novels), fashion and even crafts. I’m a very hands on learner so If there’s nothing I don’t understand I will definitely bring it to life ! I’m responsible and honest , which I think are two big personality traits … I would love to gain yours and your babies trust :)

"Rowan was our babysitter from the time my child was born until she was about 18 months old. We were incredibly disappointed to lose Rowan as our caretaker when they moved out of our area. Rowan is kind, a great listener, and excellent at engaging children with creative art, dramatic play, and other enriching activities. My child always looked forward to seeing Rowan and spending time with them. Rowan closely followed our instructions on mealtimes, bedtimes, and household rules to maintain our child’s structure and schedule. My child has mild to moderate health issues including eczema and multiple food allergies, but we never felt concerned when Rowan was watching her. Rowan is incredibly attentive and contentious. We miss having Rowan as our babysitter and would recommend them to anyone looking for childcare."
