Rosemary $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi, my name is Rose. I’m a trusted caregiver with a lifelong passion for supporting families. Over the past several years, I’ve provided care for children of all ages, including newborns, infants, toddlers, and school-aged kids (yes, even twins!). I also have deep experience supporting children with special needs from assisting my daughter-in-law with her childcare facility and supporting a family with 2 neurodivergent children. Beyond that, I’ve spent many years caring for the children of family and friends, so nurturing and supporting little ones has always been a natural part of my life. I enjoy engaging kids in creative activities, helping with homework, and ensuring they feel safe, supported, and cared for. Recently, I spent the past three years as the primary caregiver for my mother, which deepened my experience and compassion for senior care. I understand the importance of patience, dignity, and dependable support. I’m happy to assist with meal preparation, companionship, and day-to-day tasks. In addition to caregiving, I also offer household support, including doing laundry, light and deep cleaning, and running errands to help out. I’m known by family and friends as the one they call when they need help achieving a clean and organized space. I truly enjoy creating clean, tidy, and functional spaces. This stems from a childhood of supporting my father's janitorial service and owning my own home staging business. Looking forward to supporting you and your loved ones!

"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!"
