I started babysitting when I was 13 years old. If it was one of my 4 brothers or a younger family member, I’ve had to take on the responsibility of caring for someone’s life before mine. Now I am currently a preschool teacher, teaching 3 year olds and 4 year olds a curriculum based lesson plan and following a daily schedule everyday. I’m in training to be now an assistant director. My biggest and more important responsibilities are to not only run 30+ in one building but to also run my staff and the whole building itself.
I am responsible, reliable, caring, patient and I just all in all love children. I love to entertain and interact with children, teach them something new everyday and watch their eyes brighten up! Arts n Crafts are my favorite!
I'm looking for Casual/temporary, Part-time employment.
I can travel to neighboring suburbs/towns of Galveston for work.

I am currently a preschool teacher, working my way up to assistant director. I take on the responsibilities of not only 30+ kids in one building but also the staff and the building itself. I am certified and experienced with 6 months old to 12 years old.
I'm an ENFP who loves making connections and bringing joy to both kids and pets!
As an experienced babysitter and petsitter, I bring a warm, personable, and responsible approach to everything I do. Whether it’s caring for children or furry friends, I’m all about creating a fun, safe, and loving environment.
A little about me:
I’m patient, empathetic, and adaptable, which helps me connect with kids and pets of all ages and needs. I’ve cared for children from toddlers to teenagers, and I’m comfortable with a variety of situations—whether it’s helping with homework, managing special needs, or engaging in imaginative play. I believe every child has unique interests, and I love finding ways to nurture their creativity and curiosity!
In addition to my babysitting experience, I have a love for food and can help prepare healthy, kid-friendly meals and snacks, so you can rest assured your little ones are eating well when you're not around.
When it comes to pets, I’m a true animal lover and have experience with dogs, cats, and other furry friends. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, or just keeping them company, I provide the same level of care and attention to your pets as I would my own.
What I bring to the table:
A versatile background with a cultural awareness that helps me relate to people and even furry friends from all walks of life.
A responsible and trustworthy attitude—you can count on me to show up on time and keep things running smoothly. My educational and work backgrounds have helped me build my problem-solving skills and creativity and made me adaptable to a variety of situations and routines.
I’m here to offer peace of mind, knowing your children and pets are in good hands with someone who truly cares.
Let’s connect and see how I can help make your life easier!
