A little bit about me

Hi! I’m 21 and currently in college. I’ve been babysitting professionally for about 6 years, and have two baby sisters that are 6 years younger, so I’ve always been a babysitter at heart. I have early childhood care experience and am able to cook & transport to and from school/activities.

Hello! I am a certified AMS Montessori teacher with 23 years teaching experience. I teach children 3-6 years old. For the past 3.5 years I have also been tutoring three boys, ages 6-12. I also have experience working with children on the autism spectrum and with ABA therapy. I have two beautiful daughters that have graduated from college, one is a doctor the other just finished her degree in chemistry.
I love working with children. Watching them learn how to do something that they have been struggling to do is so rewarding.

A little bit about me

Hello! My name is Juliette, I’m a 24-year-old French native who made the bold decision to move to the US in search of independence and new horizons. I thrive on challenges and opportunities that push me to grow, and I’m passionate about fitness, fashion, and maintaining a positive and enthusiastic outlook on life.
Growing up with my twin brother taught me the value of close relationships, which has helped me develop a natural ability to connect with others. With over 5 years of experience working with children, I’ve discovered a special bond and a maternal instinct that drives my passion for childcare. I truly enjoy creating a nurturing and stimulating environment where kids can flourish, learn, and have fun.

As a Christian, my faith plays a big role in my life and inspires me to care for others with love, patience, and kindness. I’m committed to being a positive influence and providing the support your family needs.

A little bit about me

Greetings, parents! My name is Jade and I am a sophomore in college at Southern Methodist University in Dallas, pursuing a major in business. With a natural knack for nurturing, I've honed my childcare skills as the eldest of five siblings, fostering responsibility and care from a young age. Since my freshman year in high school, I've been actively engaged in babysitting and nannying, tending to children across various age groups. My passion for childcare is fueled by genuine enthusiasm, and I can't wait to extend my warmth and care to your little ones! Beyond childcare, I indulge in hobbies like cooking, reading, and running. I find creative ways to infuse these passions into activities with the kids, whether it's exploring new recipes together, diving into imaginative storytelling, or enjoying outdoor adventures.
I'm excited to connect with you and your family, and I look forward to the opportunity to create meaningful experiences while getting to know your children!

What is the difference between a nanny and a babysitter?
