A little bit about me

My career in child care actually started growing up in a house of two educators. Both of my parents are teachers. My dad was also a coach, I became the designated caregiver for all the families' children at every sporting event. That is truly where my love for helping others began. My mom specializes in special needs education. Through her, I was fortunate to be introduced to families who needed extra, specialized support. Caring for those children became my very first job and gave me foundational skills in patience, adaptability, and inclusive care. Since then, I’ve worked as a flight attendant, which really elevated my professional childcare skills. In that role, I underwent rigorous training to earn my CPR and First Aid certifications, perfected safe meal preparation, and mastered the art of managing high-stress situations calmly. Making sure your children are completely safe, engaged, and supported would be my number one priority.

A little bit about me

Hi! I'm a 23-year-old caregiver with experience caring for children of all ages, from newborns to teenagers. For the past four years, I've worked as a Medical Behavior Associate in a special needs classroom, supporting children with a wide range of medical, behavioral, and developmental needs. That experience has strengthened my patience, adaptability, and ability to provide a safe, supportive environment for every child.

I'm also a proud stepparent to three wonderful kids, so I understand the day-to-day realities of family life. I genuinely enjoy working with children and love being someone families can rely on. Whether you need occasional or consistent care, I'm happy to help with childcare, light housekeeping, meal prep, laundry, and other household tasks to make your day a little easier. My goal is to provide dependable, compassionate care and give parents peace of mind.

A little bit about me

Hello, my name is Zoe McKissick. I have a degree in Neuroscience from UT El Paso with aspirations of becoming a pediatric neurosurgeon. I have been working with children since the age of 13, and over the years, I have gained invaluable knowledge and experience from each child I’ve had the privilege to care for. My experience includes nannying and babysitting, where I have learned how to connect with children of different ages and backgrounds, adapting to their unique needs and personalities.

In addition, I have worked as an assistant teacher and after-school director at a Montessori school. This role deepened my understanding of child development and taught me the importance of fostering independence and creativity in young minds. My passion for working with children stems from a genuine love for nurturing and helping to shape the next generation, and I take great pride in providing a safe, caring, and intellectually stimulating environment for them to grow.
