"Kate is more than a nanny, she is the family support you need that you didn’t know you needed! Kate provided excellent care and love to my two children, was always professional, and took initiative to add to the rhythm of my household. She is reliable, she enjoys being outdoors with children, she has a creative and curious spirit which is really important for young, growing children. She takes education/ teaching very seriously. I really can’t say enough great things about Kate because she truly is an excellent nanny and overall exceptional human being."

"Kate is a calm, caring, and thoughtful babysitter. I was connected to her by a dear friend, whose child she looked after everyday for years. While she only cared for my 8 m/o daughter once, she did an excellent job and it was always a pleasure to run into her around town."

"I can only rave about Kate's awesomeness! She was our first babysitter for our 3-year-old son. From the first introduction, she was fantastic and made my child feel comfortable. Kate is super reliable and has this amazing knack for connecting with kids. She is always on time, organized with activities, and makes sure he is happy. If you're looking for someone who genuinely cares and knows how to keep kids entertained while keeping everything running smoothly, Kate is your person."

"I can’t say enough how much my family and I absolutely loved having Katelyn around! Whether she was taking my kids for a fun day out or staying in to build forts, do arts & crafts, create science projects, or simply read— my little ones absolutely adored Katelyn. There was never a dull moment when she was around and I really appreciated how engaging she was. I feel so blessed to have had her be a part of our village and felt privileged to have a peace of mind while going to work. If we didn’t have to move, I would have kept her as my nanny for years to come. The kids were only 2 & 4 when you started working with us and now that they’re going on 5 & 7 they still ask about you, Kate! We miss you and love you dearly and are wishing you the best with your next family. Listen, mamas— if you are wanting a nanny who is trustworthy, dependable, educated in childhood development/ psychology, and serious about her profession, Katelyn has it all! She’s a rare gem!"

More About Me

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

I’ve worked as a Residential Care specialist and Day Treatment assistant. In both roles, I supported the rehabilitation and offered solutions to children and adolescents (ages 6-17) with autism, behavioral and mental health disorders.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

A nature walk; acknowledging all of the sights and sounds of the world.
I enjoy story time and imaginative play.
A field trip/outing associated with their current interest.
My most favorite is preparing meals or snacks. Whether it’s allowing them help chop fruits/veggies for a smoothie, or helping me to pour or stir, the kitchen setting allows for alot of passive and efficient learning.

The most important part about being a nanny...

..is being apart of the family and feeling comfortable enough to be free and be my natural self. I love feeling safe enough to unleash my inner child and connect with the little person more, as we both flow and grow together, and learn from one another.

My experience with special needs children...

I’ve cared for children with ASD, ranging from non-verbal to high functioning. I’ve also cared for children with ADHD, ODD, and CD.

The most important part about being a nanny...

..changes every single day. Sometimes it’s the way they greet me at the door.
Sometimes it’s them mastering communicating a need.
Sometimes it’s realizing that they trust me.
Sometimes it’s seeing their tiny hand wrapped around my one finger.
Sometimes it’s them learning to say my name.
Sometimes it’s seeing them run to you with their favorite book in hand.
Everyday there’s something exciting to look forward to!

Babysitter Available in The Colony, TX: Gabby R.

Hi! I have experience working with children in both childcare and developmental settings, and I truly enjoy being someone children feel comfortable and supported around. Through my work as a Behavioral Therapist, I’ve had the opportunity to learn how to connect with children as individuals and support their communication, confidence, independence, and everyday growth. I believe every child has their own personality, strengths, and way of learning. I take a thoughtful and non-judgmental approach by getting to know each child and creating an environment where they feel safe, encouraged, and free to be themselves. I enjoy incorporating play, creativity, learning, and routines into my time with children while making everyday moments fun and meaningful. I have experience with meal preparation, potty training, homework help, bedtime routines, age-appropriate activities, and encouraging independence. I want families to feel confident in my care and children to feel safe and supported.

Hi, I’m Sabrina Martinez. I am 26 years old and have about four years of experience in childcare; I gained my initial experience working at a Montessori school. I currently work as a nanny, supporting families in their homes, and I am also a psychology student. Spanish is my native language, but I am studying English and have a basic command of it. I can assist while family members are present, or I am equally comfortable looking after children or babies on my own. I can also help with household chores. I am patient and flexible, and I adapt well to each family's needs.
