A little bit about me

Making a positive impact on children's lives is what I strive for. My three years of experience caring for children aged newborn to 12, including multiples, has allowed me to hone my skills and grow as a caregiver. I am patient and calm, and I am very comfortable enforcing household rules. I am happy to follow your preferred communication method to keep you updated on your child's day.

I enjoy playing outdoor sports, board games, and educational games. I have a high school diploma, and I am comfortable with pets. I am also willing to help with light housekeeping, crafts, and swimming supervision. I became a caregiver because of my positive experiences in previous babysitting roles, and I love supporting families. I look forward to the opportunity to care for your little ones and create a fun, safe, and enriching environment for them.

A little bit about me

Hey parents! I’m a 19 year old college sophomore trying to take down my tuition. I’m the eldest of 3, and have been caring for little ones for since I’ve been a little one! Though I don’t speak spanish, I can understand very well. I cook, clean, and interact with the kids rather than just watching them!

A little bit about me

Good afternoon! I’m a 17-year-old high school senior in Dallas (South Oak Cliff area) offering babysitting services. My rate is $15 per hour. I’m available Sunday–Friday from 5 PM to 10 PM, Saturdays from 6 AM to 10 PM, and I can do overnights on Fridays.

I’m comfortable with in-home care. I prefer to stay within the vacinity of the DART sytems. Anything outside of that range would have to be discussed further on a case by case basis. I have five years of babysitting experience for family members and additional experience with young children, including caring for a 2-month-old for a full week (10 AM–5 PM). I also have responsible adult support available to assist with any emergencies that may arise. References are available upon request.

A little bit about me

Hi! My name is Lymari, and I’m 18 years old. I’ve always loved being around children and taking care of my little cousins. For the past 4 years, I’ve cared for them every summer, during school breaks, and whenever their parents go on vacation. These experiences have taught me to be responsible, patient, caring, and attentive to children’s needs.I also completed an EMT course and became certified, which has given me additional knowledge in first aid, emergency situations, and how to stay calm and respond appropriately when someone needs help. I genuinely enjoy spending time with children and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and happy. I would love the opportunity to provide your family with dependable, caring, and responsible childcare!

A little bit about me

I have several years of childcare experience through babysitting, coaching, and working as a YMCA summer camp counselor. I have cared for children ranging from infants and toddlers to elementary-aged kids, providing a safe, engaging, and dependable environment while adapting to each child's individual needs.

As a YMCA camp counselor, I supervised and led activities for groups of children, encouraged teamwork, resolved conflicts, and helped create a fun and positive environment throughout the summer. I also spent a year coaching gymnastics and tumbling, where I taught young athletes new skills, built their confidence, and prioritized safety in every lesson.

I currently work as a Medical Assistant and plan to pursue a career in healthcare, giving me experience staying calm in fast-paced situations and working closely with families. I am CPR certified and genuinely enjoy helping children learn, grow, and feel supported in a safe, nurturing environment.

A little bit about me

Hello, I'm Des! I am currently in college studying psychology: specifically regarding child development and social work. I have reliable transportation. I love playing outdoor sports, board games, and educational activities. I'm comfortable with pets, speak English and some Spanish.

A short background of my care history is that I volunteered for 3 years in the children's and youth area of my church, I’ve cared for children of family members, friends of family, and former teachers.

I dont have much experience with children with special needs except for watching over my nephew on a regular basis: he has autism and struggled with speech for a few years. I still hope to provide all the care I can and to the best of my abilities.

Feel free to ask any more questions about me or my experience. I can't wait to connect with you and your kiddos!
