"Maria worked for us for over 18 years. In those 18 years Maria rarely if ever missed a day of work. She was very conscientious in following all of my instructions. We have 4 children ranging in age from 24-19. Our youngest 3 children are boys and are all within a year of each other. Maria was wonderful with all of our kids and adapted easily to their different personalities. Two of our boys were diagnosed with ADHD when they began school. Maria was extraordinarily patient yet firm with them which is exactly what they needed! All 4 of our children consider Maria a part of our family. My husband and I traveled several times a year and we left Maria in charge of our kids with no qualms. Maria is responsible, honest, hardworking and truly enjoys taking care of children. She frequently planned physical activities for our kids when they were little. In short, you could not ask for a better person to care for your children than Maria Dolores Mendiola!"

I love the kidos and I like to share and teach them popular songs and games.
Most of the time I was ready for whatever they need me, probably that's why the Flavin boys said I was the second mom.

Babysitter Available in Houston, TX: Amanda W.
Hi, I'm Amanda! I have three years of paid caregiving experience across a variety of settings—including in a daycare managing children aged 3 months to 12 years, as well as working as an after-school nanny. These roles have made me highly skilled at managing multiple children at once, keeping routines on track, and adapting my communication style to meet each child’s unique age and developmental stage. I earned my bachelor's degree from UT Austin, along with a minor in Spanish, and I’m comfortable incorporating basic Spanish into daily interactions if helpful.
I am CPR/First Aid certified and have my own dependable transportation, making me fully equipped for school pickups and extracurricular drop-offs.
I excel at supporting academics - I approach homework by helping students take ownership of their schoolwork, guiding them to independently solve problems and build lasting confidence. I am also an animal lover and am always happy to help with light housekeeping.

Full-Time Child Care Provider Available in Houston, TX: Nicole B.
Hello! My name is Nicole Baker, I have 10 years of experience working in early child care centers. I’ve worked in Montessori schools to Christian based schools. I have two children of my own. A child who will be entering PRE K this year coming up, and a 3rd grader. I love working with children, but the child care centers I’ve witnessed are not the best for any child. I am excited to start this new journey and hopefully find a family who I can share my love and compassion for helping children grow and flourish with encouragement and positive reinforcement.
