I enjoy working with kids, not only taking good care of them but also expending quality time with time. I like to include activities and games that not only entertain the little ones but also help with their cognitive and motor stimulation. I have experience with toddlers and also can take care of younger babies. I can provide help with house duties.

Margarita $20 per hour for 1 child

I am a very extraverted, fun, loving, caring, welcoming, outgoing, and faith filled mother of 5 children. I have 29 years of experience in taking care of kids. I currently am taking care of a 5 year old boy and have been taking care of him since he was 2. I spend time playing with him, singing with him, making crafts with him, and make sure the time he spends with me is a fun one! I personally potty trained him, and my current responsibilities are to feed, clothe, and bathe him. I have taken him with me to do outdoor activities and can keep a very watchful eye on kids. Before taking care of him I watched two other young boys from a married couple. I kept them very preoccupied with various activities. I was responsible for feeding them breakfast and lunch, as well as making sure to clothe them and making sure they went to the bathroom. Before I left the house I kept it very clean. I have a wide variety of cooking skills which makes it easier on parents to have their kids eat what they would like them to eat. If you're looking for someone to clean your home I am a very thorough cleaner. I am open to watching any small pets since I use to own a Cocker Spaniel Poodle and a cat. I am open to watching anyone that is elderly and perform basic tasks. I am willing to open up my home for watching anyone as well as travel to your home. Whatever is most convenient. If your looking for a mother's touch, that is definitely me.

"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!"
