I’m a caring, responsible, and energetic caregiver with experience working with children of all ages, from babies and toddlers to school-age children and teenagers. I also have experience as a teacher, which has helped me become patient, creative, organized, and comfortable adapting to each child’s personality and needs. I truly enjoy spending time with kids, planning fun activities, helping with routines, meals, homework, transportation, and keeping their environment safe and organized. I also absolutely love animals and feel very comfortable caring for pets, including feeding, walking, playing, and pet sitting. I’m reliable, flexible, attentive, and always respectful of each family’s routines and preferences. I love creating a safe, positive, and fun environment for both children and pets!
“Luiza is great, showed up on time and was very friendly, genuine and nice with my 5M old baby. Will definitely be working with her again!”
Hello everyone, my name is Savannah. I am a teacher at Go Kids Inc and I have been there for 3 years. I currently work with children ages 6-12. Prior to my job at Go Kids I was a 2 year old teacher. I am also a graduate student working towards getting my Masters degree in Education for School Counseling with my PPS credential. I am looking for job opportunities Friday-Monday as I am working throughout the week. I am also open to talking about something during the week, but I get off of work at 6pm. Can't wait to meet 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!"

"We used Tania for a last minute emergency. She responded very quickly. My daughter seemed to enjoy herself. My son napped most of the time. I enjoyed how she kept me updated by text."
