My name is Gehendri. I am a dedicated and responsible caregiver with hands-on experience in child care. I am also a proud mother of two children, aged 14 and 10, which has given me strong parenting skills, patience, and a deep understanding of children’s needs at different stages of development. In addition to my personal experience, I have been working professionally as a caregiver for a 3-year-old child, where I provide daily care, ensure safety, support learning activities, and maintain a nurturing and positive environment. I am reliable, compassionate, and committed to supporting children’s growth and well-being.
Hi, my name is Kelly , I’m 29 years old and I’m a responsible, caring, and trustworthy person. I have over a year of experience taking care of children: I worked as an au pair for one year, living with a host family and actively supporting the children’s development and daily routines. After that, I’ve been working as a part-time nanny. I truly enjoy spending time with kids and taking care of them. I’m also happy to help keep their things organized, do their laundry, and assist with light household tasks related to the children. I speak both English and Spanish, have had a driver’s license for two years, and I’m currently studying Marketing and Advertising virtually, which gives me a flexible schedule. I love creating a safe and positive environment for kids, encouraging their creativity, and supporting them as they grow with care and respect. I’d be happy to support your family and get to know your little ones!
I have childcare experience caring for my three younger siblings, including children ages 0–14. as well as looking after family friends’ children. Since April 2020, I have gained experience supervising children, helping with meals and daily routines, organizing activities, and many more. I also volunteered as a Youth Program Assistant from October 2024 to May 2025, where I supervised children during after-school activities and encouraged teamwork and positive interactions. In addition to childcare, I help care for my disabled grandmother, which has helped me develop patience, compassion, attentiveness, and a strong sense of responsibility toward others. My current job where my position is food service has further strengthened my communication, teamwork, organization, and ability to work in a fast-paced environment. I am dependable, caring, willing to learn, and committed to providing safe, respectful, and attentive care to children and individuals who need assistance.

"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!"
