A little bit about me

Hi! I’m Alexis I just moved back to Dallas after a year in NYC, and I’m so excited to connect with a new family here! I absolutely love working with kids and bringing a fun, calm, and caring vibe to their day.
I’ve cared for all ages, including newborns, and my past families have always told me how reliable, patient, and loving I am. I’m also a huge dog lover, so if you have pets, that’s a bonus! I’m always happy to help with walks, cuddles, and including them in the daily routine.

Can’t wait to meet a family I can grow with and bring lots of positivity to! 💛

A little bit about me

Hi! I’m Odel 😊
And I absolutely love working with kids. I have experience caring for children of all ages. Watching them grow, learn, and develop their own personalities is one of the most rewarding parts of what I do. I love creating a safe, fun, and nurturing environment where they can be themselves and feel supported every step of the way.
I’m fluent in Hebrew and enjoy sharing that through songs, stories, or simple conversations. I’m also a former ice hockey player, so I bring lots of positive energy and love staying active — whether that’s playing outside, doing arts and crafts, or helping with homework.
I truly enjoy building real bonds with the families I work with and becoming someone the kids can trust and look forward to spending time with. 💛

A little bit about me

I am a dedicated and passionate childcare professional with three years of experience working at summer camps, where they honed their leadership and mentoring skills. Throughout their time as both a camp counselor and a supervisor, I played a key role in creating a positive, safe, and fun environment for campers of all ages. Their ability to engage, inspire, and manage groups of children helped foster personal growth and lasting memories for all involved.

A little bit about me

Hi! My name is Isabel, and I’m looking to babysit as a side job because I genuinely have a passion for caring for children. I’m a mom to a toddler myself, so I have hands-on daily experience with kids and understand the patience, attention, and care they need. I’m responsible, dependable, and enjoy creating a safe and fun environment for children.

I currently work as a detail technician at an auto auction, and I also have a strong interest in cars. I’m looking for a little extra income on the side while doing something I truly enjoy. I would love the opportunity to help families who need reliable childcare.
