Aneila $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi, my name is Aneila! I’m a student that just turned 21 years old and I love being around children! I grew up watching kids my whole life so it’s all I’ve ever known. I’ve babysat family & friends children’s but never as an actual job. I have also worked at boys and girls club with kids throughout many different ages, working with over 20+ children even alone. I say that me being able to enjoy a job working and being able to provide for children makes me a great caregiver because I’ll never not enjoy it. I hope you can trust me to be your caregiver! :)

"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!"
