A little bit about me

Hi! I'm Reva, a recent Cornell University graduate currently back home in Dallas while I prepare to apply to law school. I'm looking for babysitting opportunities and would love to help your family!

I've babysat throughout high school and have always genuinely enjoyed spending time with kids. I'm patient, kind, easygoing, and love keeping children engaged—whether that's playing games, helping with homework, reading stories, or spending time outside. I'm also a huge animal lover, so I'm more than happy to care for pets as well.

During college, I gained experience teaching and mentoring students as a Teaching Scholar at Cornell, where I led weekly classes and worked closely with students, strengthening my communication, patience, and leadership skills.

I'm flexible with scheduling, reliable, and happy to accommodate evenings, weekends, or last-minute needs when possible.

I look forward to meeting your family!

A little bit about me

Hello everyone!

My name is Stephanie Segura, and I am currently pursuing my Bachelor’s Degree in Elementary Education (EC–6) at East Texas A&M University. My goal is to become a certified elementary school teacher with an ESL supplemental certification because I have a passion for helping students learn, grow, and succeed.

I currently work as an ESL Instructional Assistant at Rockwall-Heath High School, where I have the opportunity to support students from different backgrounds and help them develop their English language skills.

I am also a proud wife and mother of two beautiful children who motivate me every day to continue my education and work toward my dreams. I enjoy learning new things, helping others, and finding creative ways to make a positive difference in students' lives.

I am excited to continue growing both personally and professionally, and I look forward to everything this journey has to offer!

A little bit about me

Hi there! I’m a psychology grad from UT Dallas who loves helping kids feel safe, happy, and confident. I have experience as a behavior technician supporting children with autism and developmental needs, so I know how to be patient, flexible, and adapt to what each child needs. I’m best with infants through 5 year old, and I focus on play based learning, fun outings, and keeping routines running smoothly. I’m also happy to help with kid related extras like meals, laundry, tidying, and errands. I’m available weekdays and weekends, serving Preston Hollow, Highland Park, University Park, the Park Cities, and the greater Dallas area. I'm looking forward to working with you. See you soon!

What is the difference between a nanny and a babysitter?

A nanny is a professional caregiver who is responsible for the full-time care of children in the family's home. A babysitter, on the other hand, is a temporary caregiver who is typically hired for a few hours at a time to care for children while their parents are away. Nannies typically have more experience and training in child care, and may also be responsible for additional tasks such as meal preparation and light housekeeping.
