Chevelle $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi, I’m Chevelle and I’m here to offer my services as both a senior caregiver and child caregiver. As an aspiring physician I take joy in any opportunity given to connect with all types of people and caregiving has afforded me the opportunity to do so. I have years of relevant experience as a result of my time as a camp counselor as well as health Director along with my current role as a Behavior Technician to kids on the autism spectrum. I put safety first in all aspects but I’m still about having a good time and bonding with those under my care.

"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!"
