A little bit about me
Hi! My name is Brooklinn, and I’m a 19-year-old college student at UTSA with experience caring for children from infants to 11 years old. I’ve also worked with twins, so I’m comfortable managing multiple children at once while keeping things organized and positive.
I’m responsible, patient, and genuinely enjoy creating a safe and fun environment where kids can learn and be themselves. Whether it’s helping with homework, planning activities, or sticking to daily routines, I make sure each child gets the attention and care they need.
I have a reliable vehicle and am able to transport children to school, activities, or outings as needed. I’m also happy to help with light housekeeping and anything that makes your day a little easier.
I understand how important trust is when it comes to childcare, and I always aim to be dependable and someone both parents and kids feel comfortable with.

A little bit about me
Hello! ☺️ My name is Ashlee, and I recently relocated to the Austin area after spending nearly ten years working in the news industry as a reporter and anchor. Throughout my career, I’ve built strong communication skills, learned how to connect with people from all walks of life, and developed a calm, dependable personality in fast-paced environments.
As I transition into a new chapter professionally, I’m looking for more meaningful, personal work centered around helping others — especially children and families. I’ve always had a natural love for kids and genuinely enjoy creating a positive, supportive, and engaging environment for them. I’m energetic, patient, responsible, and very people-oriented.
Being new to Austin, I’m excited to become part of the community and would love the opportunity to support a wonderful family in any way I can. I’d be happy to answer any questions or chat more about my background and experience!

A little bit about me
I am currently a college student at The University Of Texas in Austin enrolled in spring classes. I started babysitting for families when I turned 16 and have continued to do so since. I had a full time babysitting position during the summer, and now that my schedule has slowed down I am looking for babysitting opportunities ! I grew up with 3 siblings and lots of little cousins. I grew up in rural country, so I love being outside and finding ways to entertain the kids. I am studying Biology to become a Pediatrician. Kids are everything to me and I would love to be able to connect with the family! I enjoy being outside every chance I get, trying new things, reading, and being crafty! Bringing joy and nurturing care to children is my passion. I have a year of experience caring for children and find it incredibly rewarding to support their growth. I have some college education and hold current First Aid and CPR certificate.
