Hello Parent(s), I am Anastacia, your caring, attentive and respectful childcare provider. A mother of two sons and a devoted wife. I am a certified Childcare Provider and a Registered Behavior Technician. My interest in caring for children is one of my dearest passion, which started with me volunteering at my older son’s Elementary school to substitute for his teacher. My professional experience spans over a 10 years period. I am experienced in caring for 2mos olds to 12years olds, multiple age groups at once and twins. Being an adventurous person, I would definitely take the child(ren) on walks/outside if permitted. I love assisting parents by being a roll model to the ones in my care during their early years of development and encouraging milestone achievements. During my spare time I am involved in Community Service, sewing and hiking and cooking meals from other cultures.

Hi! My name is Wenddy 💗 I’m a mom of two (my kids are now older), so I truly understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your children. Most of my childcare experience comes from raising my own kids and helping care for children within my family over the years. I really enjoy creating a calm, safe, and loving environment where kids feel comfortable, supported, and cared for like family. I also have caregiving experience, including caring for my grandmother, who has since passed and is now in heaven 🤍 That time in my life deeply shaped my patience, compassion, and the way I care for others with kindness and respect. At this time, I’m only available for occasional babysitting. When I do care for children, I bring a warm, calm presence and always treat them with genuine care and attention. Families describe me as dependable, patient, and very caring. I take trust seriously and always show up with heart and responsibility. I’m bilingual (English & Spanish), have a Live Scan background check, clean driving record, reliable transportation, and I’m fully vaccinated. I would love the opportunity to support a family who needs occasional, trustworthy care 💗

Enjoyed using Wenddy. I would use her again.

I find joy in engaging with others and learning about their life stories.

"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!"
