A little bit about me
Hi! I have worked in childcare for a few years and am a mother of a child who had a gtube and other medical complications. I love coming up with activities and I love cleaning. I’m a big fan of keeping a routine which is so important for the well being and regulation of young children! As long as you don’t mind my little one (1 yr old) tagging along, I can be a great asset.

A little bit about me
Hi, I’m Ollie Smith. I’m 24 years old and I have been vegetarian for the past 12 years. Professionally, I’ve been a lead preschool teacher for 4 years between Cedar Park and Austin, most recently at the UT Child Development Center. I am CPR and first aid certified, and my favorite activities with children are any kind of art, dance parties, and playing outside. I’m very passionate about working with children on the spectrum and I plan to get my RBT certification in the future. I love to potty train and teach fine motor skills, my expertise is 3 year olds. But I love any age between 1-10. Outside of working, I love to go swimming, art, karaoke, and roller skating. Between my fiancé and I, we have 5 pets. A rabbit named Shark, two cats named Goose and Bear, and two birds named Widget and Pip.

A little bit about me
Hi, I’m Sarah!
I have a degree in Childhood Education from the University of Texas at Austin, with four years of experience as a Pre-K teacher. I’ve also worked in first and second grade classrooms in public schools through student teaching and internships.
I’ve supported children ages one to eight in a variety of settings, always focused on creating a safe, playful, and supportive environment. I bring a calm and dependable presence, and I’m confident managing routines, planning engaging activities, and helping kids grow socially, emotionally, and academically.
What I care most about is building real, lasting relationships. I want to be a consistent and loving presence in a child’s life, not just for a short time but over the course of years. I value open communication with families and take pride in working together to support children in meaningful ways.
If you are looking for someone experienced and genuinely invested in your child’s well-being, I would love to connect.
