Chandra Gaffney
$20 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Chandra or Chan Miss Chandra or Miss Chan. Caring for children isn’t just my job, it’s truly my passion. I’ve been a paraprofessional for 7 years and have spent my career supporting and nurturing children in both classroom and home settings. I worked as a 4K teacher assistant for 4 years, where I helped create a safe, engaging, and positive learning environment for young learners. I also helped run my church summer camp for 3 years, planning activities, supervising groups, and making sure every child felt included and cared for. In addition to working with many wonderful families as a babysitter, I’ve also helped raise my younger brother and my nephew — experiences that have shaped my patience, compassion, and understanding. Children hold a very special place in my heart, and I would be honored to be part of your child’s world, supporting their growth, celebrating their milestones, and providing dependable, loving care every step of the way.

"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!"
