Hello, my name is Isabel. I have worked with children for 3 going on 4 years. Currently, I work at a child care center . I have experience with multiple children at a time. I have fun, creative activities for the children so they're not in front of the TV. I love children and enjoy watching them play and learn new things. I always make sure that the children are comfortable in their environment. I'm available for date nights, an the occasional work days. I have a car and a clean driving record. Since I do work at a daycare I have a background check. Thank you for taking the time to view my profile , I hope I'll hear from you.

"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!"
