Hi my name is Tiffany, I am currently a graduate student at ASU earning a Masters in social work, will be graduating this December. I am offering child care and per services. I had worked at a group home with children who were in their early teens but had behavioral disabilities, I helped them learn and manage daily routines my responsibilities consisted of cooking, clean their house. I also have looked after families with children that were under the age of 6 and infants that were 5 months at the time (including twins) learning to have really great active listening in order for them to know that I am there for them and to assist them in any way that I could. I enjoy being around children being able to show them arts and crafts, singing along to their favorite songs, and being able to tell jokes especially when they are having a rough day. Helping them with homework when they are struggling, cooking for them as week as doing baking for fun. My experience with dogs has been my own dogs that I have had, being able to keep them in their routine and give them the love and attention that they need in their day-to-day lives.

Thank you so much for all the help today. The family really enjoyed having you and the girls really seemed to enjoy hanging out with you.

I am a native Spanish speaker and understand very little English, which makes my services a great fit for families who prefer to communicate in Spanish. With over 10 years of experience caring for children, I’ve developed strong qualities such as patience, reliability, and attention to detail. However, I now focus exclusively on household cleaning and related tasks — I no longer provide childcare services. Over time, I discovered that household cleaning is truly my specialty. I genuinely enjoy it, and it motivates me to bring out the best in every home I care for. I’m extremely detail-oriented and thrive on keeping spaces spotless and organized. My strong sense of order means I notice the small things others might overlook, and I take pride in going above and beyond to maintain a fresh, clean, and welcoming environment. Families I’ve worked with appreciate not only my reliability and efficiency, but also my very high standards of cleanliness. Household work is where I excel most, and I’m motivated by the satisfaction of creating a home that feels comfortable, peaceful, and well cared for. ----------------------------------- Hablo español y entiendo muy poco inglés, por lo que las familias que se sienten cómodas con el español encuentran en mis servicios una excelente opción. Tengo más de 10 años de experiencia cuidando niños, lo que me ha hecho una persona paciente, responsable y atenta. Con el tiempo descubrí que la limpieza del hogar es realmente mi especialidad. Me gusta mucho, me motiva y me da satisfacción poder sacar lo mejor de cada casa en la que trabajo. Soy extremadamente detallista y me gusta mantener los espacios impecables y organizados. Mi fuerte sentido del orden me permite notar hasta las cosas más pequeñas que otros pueden pasar por alto, y me enorgullece ir más allá para asegurar que el ambiente sea fresco, limpio y acogedor. Las familias con las que he trabajado valoran no solo mi confiabilidad y eficiencia, sino también mis altos estándares de limpieza. El trabajo en el hogar es donde más destaco, y me motiva la satisfacción de crear un espacio cómodo, tranquilo y bien cuidado.

Timely, kind, responsive, great work!
