I have my CPR/First Aid certification and have had the pleasure of taking care of 3 year old twins with special needs, a 1 1/2 year old for 6 months, providing transportation for a 4 & 6 year old, as well as occasional/date night sitting for kids of all ages. I love children and love having the opportunity to take care of kids and watch them grow.

Hi families! I’m a bilingual educator with a Multiple Subject Teaching Credential and a Bilingual Authorization in Spanish. I have several years of experience working with children from toddlers through elementary school as an Early Head Start teacher, student teacher, and classroom educator. I am patient, dependable, and caring, and I enjoy creating fun, safe, and engaging experiences for children. Whether it’s helping with homework, reading stories, playing games, or supporting daily routines, I strive to provide high-quality care that families can trust.

Catherine was great with our kids!

I would love to discuss your care needs with you.. My name is Billie-Jean. I am a younger widow with an empty house. I am a mamma with my boys across the country, I’m a grandmother with lots of love and attention to give. I have excellent references and a current & clean background check. I have a very flexible and open schedule. Im happy to come early in the morning or stay late into the night. I happily come to your location. I am more of a personal assistant than just a babysitter. I try to help out wherever I can. I’ve been in hibernation since the pandemic began (for safety). I’m excited to meet a family that could use my help. While your child is spending time with me it would not be as if your child was spending time with a sitter it would be more like your child was hanging out with grandma. I am fully vaccinated. Pre-pandemic, I had helped a Chino Hills family for 9 years. Along with 30 years of experience helping various families at various times. This father was a solo parent, with an extremely high demanding job. I was somewhat more of a household manager. I just knew what needed to be done and took care of it His needs s changed, they relocated out of state. Please contact me if you would like to discuss your household needs further. Please keep safe and healthy.

The kids had a great time! She even helped pick up the toys. Would definitely hire again!

"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!"
