My name is Michele, I'm 39 years old and I live in Napa. I am looking to babysit for date nights, up coming parties, special events, families that are traveling through or I can sometimes be available for one time care (sick days) or mother's helper.

"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!"
