A little bit about me

Hello, my name is Amara! I am a fun, energetic, and outdoorsy 21 year old. I may be young, but have intensive training and experience with both kids and babies. I have been babysitting for families since I was 15 and worked at a preschool for a year where I taught ages 0-5 but have looked after older children outside of that. I also had a summer job teaching children swim lessons at the Boys & Girls Club and volunteered for DFPS while in school. My mom owned an at-home daycare growing up, so I’ve been around the youth my entire life! Through my experience, I can create fun and engaging crafts and activities! I’ve overcome many milestones with children from potty training to learning the animal kingdom. Childcare is truly my life’s passion and I hope to connect with a new family soon!

More About Me

Relevant experience where I also cared for children were...

I previously worked as a swim instructor for ages 5-12 one summer. I have been nannying for about a year and previously worked at a daycare for a year. Additionally, I have also volunteered for DFPS while in school.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

I love doing simple, creative activities with kids, like building forts out of pillows, doing art projects with paints or markers, or going on nature walks to explore and collect leaves or rocks. Baking together is always a hit too, especially when they get to help mix or decorate. I also enjoy reading books aloud and making up silly voices for the characters, and sometimes we even create our own little plays or skits! The best part is watching their imaginations run wild.

The most important part about being a nanny...

The most important part of being a nanny is creating a safe, loving space where a child feels valued and understood. It's about building trust and being there for them, every step of the way.

The most important part about being a nanny...

One of my favorite moments with a little girl I nanny was when we were walking through the park and she spotted a ladybug on a leaf. She was entranced by this ladybug and started talking to it like it was her little friend. We ended up following it around for a while, and she kept asking if it was “lost” or “going home.” It was one of those moments where you just see how much wonder kids find in the smallest things. Before we left, she gently moved it to a new leaf, telling it to “have a good day.” It was such a sweet little connection with nature.

Kim P. - Seeking Work in San Marcos

Babysitter Available in San Marcos, TX: Kim P.

I am a deaf, caring, patient, and responsible person who can communicate through American Sign Language (ASL), speaking, and lip-reading. I have three grown children and one grandson, and all of them are deaf. Being a mother and grandmother has given me many years of experience caring for children and understanding their needs, personalities, and development.

I believe every child deserves to feel safe, loved, respected, and understood. I enjoy spending time with children, playing with them, helping them learn, and creating a fun and comfortable environment. I am dependable, patient, and attentive, and I would treat every child in my care as if they were my own.

I would also be happy to introduce children to ASL and help them learn simple signs in a fun and natural way. I believe my unique experience can be a wonderful way to help children learn communication, kindness, and acceptance.

Grace W. - Seeking Work in San Marcos

Part-Time Child Care Provider Available in San Marcos, TX: Grace W.

I am a student at TXST pursuing a bachelors degree and focusing on building a foundation for my future.
I love helping others, art, tidying, organizing, cleaning, and dancing! I was previously a dance major, but changed majors to something less rigorous. My love for dance is still just as strong if not stronger! I have played many roles in the Nutcracker and other ballets, as well as been an intern for youth programs in the dance and church world.
My goal is to have my own family later down the road, and becoming more involved with childcare in the home rather than only the nursery will give me a better idea of what it means to be a caregiver, but will also help me build relationships & provide support to places where necessary. I have been surrounded by love and support for much of my childhood and hope to pass that on through my work as a nanny. I work well both with company, as an team, and on my own. I am shy at first but I am always eager to learn and I do open up quickly!
