Hello, my name is Maricella and I am passionate about caring for infants, toddlers, and children with special needs. I began studying child development and working in classrooms 12 years ago. Now that I have changed to a career in Tech I would like to continue fostering my passion for child care by supporting families in my community. Most recently I have provided regular care for twin boys from infancy to the age of two, as well as care for another infant over the past 9 months. My care includes daycare pick-ups, cooking, and pet care as well. I hope to help your family soon!
“I highly recommend Maricella! She has been taking care of my 2.5 year-old on our occasional date nights, and she is absolutely the best!! My son adores her, and I always feel at ease knowing he’s in such caring and capable hands. She’s responsible, trustworthy, and so sweet with him. It’s clear she truly enjoys spending time with children. Every time I come home, I find him happy, safe, and well cared for. We feel very lucky to have found her!”

"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!"
