Paula $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi there! I’m excited to share a bit about myself. I have over 10 years of childcare experience, rooted in my upbringing in a large Mexican family. As the oldest cousin on both sides, I've been surrounded by kids my whole life. My mom is one of seven, which means I have 25 cousins on her side alone, plus 8 more on my dad’s side! Growing up in this vibrant family environment instilled in me a deep love for caring for children. From babysitting my younger cousins to organizing fun activities, I’ve learned how to adapt to different personalities and needs. I believe that every child deserves a safe, nurturing, and fun atmosphere, and I strive to create that in every interaction. I’m passionate about fostering creativity, encouraging curiosity, and making lasting memories. I look forward to the opportunity to connect with your family!

"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!"
