My name is Fernando and I am a current after school teacher and college student. I provide child care, pet sitting, and household services. Having raised and taken care of my siblings and cousins has helped me gain experience and knowledge on how to care for younger children. The raising of children and helping families through dependable and quality childcare have been my career highlights over the last six years. Working as a helper with kindergartners in an after-school program has taught me how to be patient, cool-headed, and creative when interacting with kids. I am always eager to adjust to your preference in communication to update you about your child's progress during the day. I drive and absolutely adore animals, so there is no problem having them along with us as part of the fun and excitement.
Hi! My name is Natalie and I’m a reliable, positive, and organized caregiver who enjoys helping families keep their homes running smoothly. While I am newer to professional caregiving, I have experience supporting family members with children, pets, and household responsibilities. Through teaching dance classes and working in leadership roles, I’ve developed patience, strong communication skills, and the ability to create a fun and safe environment for others. I’m naturally energetic, creative, and attentive, which allows me to connect easily with kids and keep them engaged through activities like music, movement, crafts, and games. My goal is always to make families feel supported and give parents peace of mind knowing their babies are in good hands. I’m excited to gain more experience, build long-term relationships with families, and provide a caring, responsible presence in the home. I’m looking forward to meeting you, your little ones and support whether it’s long term or temporary!

"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!"
