Experienced nanny with 10+ years of hands-on care, a bachelor's degree in Psychology focused on child and adolescent development, and Texas state teaching certification. I bring a thoughtful, developmentally informed approach to supporting children's growth, with a strong emphasis on safety, structure, and emotional well-being. I have an excellent driving record and strong references from previous families.

I aim to create a nurturing, engaging environment where children can thrive. I'm happy to connect and learn more about your family's specific needs so we can determine a rate and arrangement that reflects the level of care and support you're looking for.

Helda is exceptionally dependable and genuinely caring. She consistently goes above and beyond, not just in supporting me as a parent but in building meaningful relationships with my boys, always keeping their best interests front and center. She is a safe, reliable driver and has been consistently dependable for school pickups, park outings, and more. I recommend her without reservation.

We’ve used Helda twice now for our son L here in Round Rock, and we couldn’t be happier. She’s incredibly responsive — communication before and after each visit has been easy and reassuring. More importantly, she’s warm, attentive, and genuinely great with L. You can tell she actually cares, not just goes through the motions. We’ll definitely be booking her again and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to other families in the area.

Helda was wonderful! My husband and I got sick and Helda watched my 4 month old son for the day while we recovered. She went above and beyond for us and was able to show me signs my son was teething that I hadn’t yet caught. We would love to have her back anytime and will absolutely reach out to her again. 

I can’t stress enough how truly lucky we were to have Helda with us for a year and a half. My wife and I moved across the country -- else we'd still love to have Helda as long as she was willing. She was an incredible blessing for our family, especially for our twins. Helda brought warmth, energy, and genuine care into our home every day, consistently going above and beyond in caring for both kids. From the very beginning, she was incredibly proactive—always looking for ways to help, stepping in without needing to be asked, and handling everything from daily routines to last-minute changes effortlessly. Whether it was supporting us on out-of-town trips, taking our son to swimming lessons, physical therapy appointments or coming in on weekends when we needed extra help, Helda made it all feel smooth and manageable. We trust her like family.

Some of the many things that set her apart was her diligence in everything she did, incredible patience and deep understanding of children. She seemed to intuitively know how to handle every situation with kindness and calm. Her thoughtful insights into child psychology and behavior were invaluable and helped us gain new perspectives as parents. Helda made our busy life SO much easier and brought comfort and trust to every day. 

We couldn't recommend her more highly—any family would be truly lucky to have her caring for their children. Look no further if she's available.

Helda has been offering her services for 5 years and till this day my daughter states she is the best babysitter ever. She not only helps with childcare but she will also help with light cleaning, and meal preparation without even asking! She is always on time and reliable. Anyone would be so pleased with her safe, patient service. 

Helda is flexible, on time and exhibits a strong work ethic. She is good with children and has so much experience regarding multiple ages. 

Helda took care of our 9 month old for 1 year, because our daughter started school. She was an amazing help and we were sad to have her go, but it was the start of a school year. She was firm, but kind and loving with our child. She played with her, read to her, taught her how to clean up after herself and a lot more.  Helda was a huge help to us. She cleaned and cooked for the family not only for my daughter. Any family would be happy to have her

Very organized and energetic.  Spent ~40 hours a week watching our little man while we were at work.  Flexible hours and extremely self motivated.  We didn't have to ask her to do anything specific, she had him up early and outdoors in the cool mornings, fed him and got his naps at regular times and helped transition him out of the bedroom and into his crib upstairs so that he stayed on the schedule for us.  She would update our baby app with all the info and add little pictures so that we could see some of the things he was doing during the day.  We had used a sitter before with less motivation so we would come home and wash bottles and clean up from the day so it was extremely tiring with work and the baby's evening schedule, but Helda washed everything, would prepare foods for him so that we would have extra for a few days and then while he napped- organized our pantry, closets, folded laundry.  She also has worked with several of my coworkers as well and is appreciated by them too

Helda decided she wasn't the right fit for us after 4 hours which I completely respect and agree with. That said, the manner in which she said it was completely unprofessional. Helda told me that my daughters eating schedule was a complete disaster (verbatim), she shouldn't be allowed to graze, and that the foods I offered were not sufficient. My child eats mostly organic and is developmentally considered ahead (which Helda stated many times she was very smart for two). Additionally, Helda told me my barely two year old should be cleaning up after herself and keeping her toys organized. I'm pretty laid back and I am normally open to suggestions babysitters have (because toddlers are a handful and we've all been there). I have never felt judged for my parenting style before

Helda was fantastic! I was in Austin for a business trip, traveling with my 16 month old boy. Helda came to our hotel to babysit him Friday and Saturday, for 10hr each day and did a great job keeping him active, going to the library for story/play time, going to Barnes & Noble to play and read, and taking the trolley over to see my between presentations. My son was very comfortable with her and she took photos through his day and let me know all his events from diapers to naps to meals. I felt very comfortable with her watching him and she did a fantastic job!

Helda was absolutely fantastic. I have a two year old and a 7 month old and the kids both took to her right away. Putting them down for bed can be a little tricky, but she didn't seem overwhelmed by the task and got them both down easily. She also did the dishes and tidied up the kids' toys - neither of which we asked her to do - and had a very positive energy. 100% would hire her again!
