Jhenny $20 per hour for 1 child

Warm, patient, and trustworthy, with more than 10 years of experience as a kindergarten teacher and the loving mother of my own children. I understand how important it is for parents to find someone who is not only responsible and dependable, but also genuinely caring, attentive, and committed to their child’s well-being. Throughout my teaching career, I have cared for children with different personalities, needs, and learning styles. I am comfortable creating a safe, positive, and engaging environment where children feel supported, respected, and happy. I enjoy reading, playing, doing creative activities, helping with learning, and encouraging children to explore their interests while maintaining clear routines and gentle guidance. As a mother and educator, I know how much trust families place in a caregiver. I take that responsibility seriously and always prioritize safety, kindness, communication, and consistency. I am dedicated to providing thoughtful, loving care and treating every child as an individual. Parents can feel confident knowing their children are in caring, capable, and trustworthy hands.

"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."
