Maritza $20 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Mari. I’m a 65-year-old retired and widowed teacher living in a peaceful, gated community in Chula Vista (91910). I’m CPR certified and have a lifelong love for children, along with a passion for arts and crafts. I’ve raised four children, including one with significant disabilities who is now a thriving adult. Through that journey, I’ve gained not only deep parenting experience but also a great deal of patience, adaptability, and compassion—qualities I bring into my child care. I’m currently offering full-time child care for one child under the age of 5. Your child will be cared for in a safe, calm, and structured home environment where they’ll receive personalized attention, healthy meals, and fun, age-appropriate learning activities. I’m available Monday through Friday and am happy to work with your work schedule to provide consistency and peace of mind. While I don’t offer transportation, I’m committed to following your routines and any special preferences you have for your child’s care and development. The monthly rate is $950, which includes full-day care, meals, and learning enrichment. If you’re looking for a safe, experienced, and reliable caregiver, I would love to connect with you. Warmly, Mari 📍 Chula Vista, CA 91910
