A little bit about me

Hi there! I’m Peyton, an 18 year old college student in Austin looking for a part or full time nannying position. I started nannying at 15 in exchange for flight instruction and I’m looking to continue nannying throughout college. I am kind and lighthearted and have worked with children since I was 12, assisting with summer horse camps and riding programs for children with special needs. I have a car and a drivers license and I’ve been driving since 16. I have experience as a tutor and I’m strong in math. I’m not a smoker or drinker so you won’t have to worry about any of that. I believe I would be a great fit in any family, as I adapt to new situations and environments well.
If you have any interest please reach out, thank you for your consideration!

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

Hi! My name is Heaven, and I’m a caring, patient, and energetic nanny with 1 year of experience working in a preschool setting. During that time, I had the pleasure of caring for children ranging in age from 2 months to 10 years old. I truly enjoy helping kids learn and grow through fun, hands-on activities — whether that’s creative arts and crafts, outdoor play, story time, or learning new skills. I’m passionate about creating a safe, supportive, and engaging environment where every child feels happy and cared for. Families describe me as dependable, nurturing, and easy to communicate with. I’m also happy to assist with light cleaning, meal prep, and homework help. My goal is to make parents’ lives easier while ensuring kids are loved, encouraged, and having fun every day. I’d love to meet your family and see how I can be a great fit for your childcare needs!

A little bit about me

I'd describe my personality as caring, calm and optimistic.

I'm interested about child development and how they learn. It makes me so happy to see children advance and learn new things.

I'm looking for a job where I can work as a team with families, where there is communication and respect.

I started working with kids when I was 21 years old as a Nanny, then as a therapist and finally as an Au Pair

In my spare time, I like to listen to music, go for walks, go for brunch with friends and hang out with my husband.

One thing you should know about me is that I'm from Argentina and I'd love to teach Spanish to kids.

My skills include communication, patience and empathy
