A little bit about me…

Hi! My name is Jemimah, I am a sophmore student at Dripping springs high school and I’ve been babysitting for about three years. I absolutely love working with kids and helping families feel comfortable and cared for. I’m patient, responsible, and always make sure the children I watch are safe, happy, and engaged. I enjoy planning fun activities, helping with homework, and making sure bedtime routines go smoothly. I also love to clean and keep things organized, so you can come home to a tidy space.
I’m very dependable, kind, and easy to communicate with. I take my job seriously because I want parents to feel confident knowing their kids are in good hands. In the future, I hope to become a pediatrician —since I’ve always had a passion for helping children and making a positive difference in their lives.
If you’re looking for a trustworthy, caring babysitter who truly loves what they do, I’d be happy to help your family!

A little bit about me…

Howdy!🪩🤠 My name is Natalyn and I am 26yo.
My husband and I moved to Austin in 2022. We also have two pups- Cowboy and Maverick! We are youth pastors at Glad Todings. But, previously I was a patient advocate and medical assistant in my community at a free health and counseling center.

I am passionate about connecting with those whose walks of life are different than mine. Learning about what makes someone unique, just fills me with enthusiasm♥️

Although I have no kids of my own-yet- I have a large heart for providing relief for mothers in my community that are single parents, have kids with disabilities or are feeling overwhelmed. I honestly am thankful for every interaction I have that grows my knowledge and heart for how to be a better friend and helper.

I am a creative and enjoy seeing people’s hearts demonstrated through their choice of media! I play bass, paint, embroider, and I loveeeee plants💚

A little bit about me…

Hi! My name is Daniela.
I’m 18 years old, and I’ve been working as a nanny since I was about 15. My mom has been a professional nanny for over 30 years, and I started by helping her with many of the families she’s worked for. I can also provide a letter of recommendation from her if needed.

I’m currently attending school to become a medical assistant nurse, but I’m looking for a part-time nanny position because I truly love working with children. I’m very active and enjoy spending time outdoors whether that’s playing soccer, basketball, going to the playground, or doing other fun activities.

I’m experienced with all ages, including newborns. I know how to change diapers, make bottles, and provide gentle, reliable care. I also frequently babysit for my family members and love being around kids of all ages.

I’m responsible, patient, and also pet-friendly. I would be very excited for the opportunity to meet your family and care for your little ones!

Best regards,
Daniela
