Zulma $27 per hour for 1 child

| Bilingual in Spanish and have a car | Hi, there! I’m Zulma. I am offering childcare and household services. I grew up being the baby of my family until high school when my little sibling was born. Afterwards, my oldest sibling had my niece and nephew, so I started taking care of and watching over younger ones since I was 15. I currently work full-time in the non-profit sector. I was previously working in the youth sector in the East Coast and miss my kiddos! I have experience running fun events, tutoring & mentoring, driving to/from locations, preparing meals for children, and many other responsibilities. I grew up with many cats throughout my childhood and currently have one of my own, so I am comfortable handling them. Additionally, I grew up helping my mom in her housecleaning job, so I always make sure to leave a place better than it was left. Open to chatting with folks. Thank you!

"We were incredibly grateful that Maya was able to help us out with a last-minute childcare emergency. She matched our 9-year-old's energy with arts & crafts, some quiet reading, and a walk around the neighborhood. We'd have Maya back in a heartbeat!"
