I am a mother to three beautiful girls ages 13, 22, and 26. I also have an adorable 1.5 yr old grandson whom I spend a lot of time with. I have been working as a caregiver for seniors for the past two years. I love working with and helping people of all ages. I practice patience, kindness, and love in everything I do ❤️ I provide care for a senior on Mondays and Fridays, so my availability is limited to Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays. I am currently booked with a family through May, but will be available to additional families beginning in June.

100/10! I wish we could have Suzanne here everyday! She is so attentive with the kids, and comes ready with activities to keep them engaged for the day! They are already asking for Miss Suzanne to come over again :)

I am a loving mother of 4 teens, 19, 15.15 and 14. I work as a Buyer for a Federal Contractor and as a Hairstylist part time. I have a genuine love for children and have helped raise my 7 nieces and nephews. I have plenty of children around me between family and friends that range from infants to school age that I sit from time to time. I also have 2 children ages 5 and 2, that spend a great deal of time at my home. They were God children of my deceased nephew that we grew to love as family. I am very caring, patient, fun and understanding. Most children attach to me easily. I am very experienced and patient with infants.

Growing up my grandma owned a daycare and I would help her take care of kids and plan arts and crafts time for them. I also have recent experience over the past 2 summers of working at a stay away camp looking over multiple different age groups of kids over the age of 6 full time. After my first summer I was promoted to leader of my cabin group and have learned to keep things together, better my communication, and still keep kids happy! Pets wise, I have 3 cats and a dog so I know how to manage!

Hello, I’m Ene. I truly enjoy working with children and have experience caring for kids of different ages. I can help with homework, creative activities, meal preparation, bedtime routines, and keeping children engaged in a safe and positive environment. In addition to childcare, I also provide household support such as light cleaning, organizing, laundry, and running errands. I’m dependable, patient, and responsible. I am also comfortable assisting with senior care, including companionship, meal prep, transportation to appointments, and help with daily tasks.I’m reliable, communicative, and committed to creating a safe and supportive environment for every family I work with.

Ene was great! We hired her for home cleaning and organizing baby clothes. She helped so much!

"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!"
