Hi, My name is Virnalisis! I am a responsible caring, and attentive person with years of experience looking after children of different ages, both in my own family and while helping others. As a mom of two myself, I understand the importance of patience, safety, and creating a nurturing environment. I am reliable, organized, and always make sure kids are engaged and safe. whether that's helping with homework, playing games, or simply giving them attention they need. Parents can count on me to be punctual, trustworthy, and flexible. I am bilingual in Spanish and English. my goal is to not just "watch" children but to care for them as if they were my own. Keep them safe, happy and supported.
Low rate to get my first reviews! I have a Neuroscience degree from the University of Michigan, and I'm hoping to build a bigger babysitting network to supplement the income from my part-time job, which involves social media and live comedy. Don't let my lack of reviews scare you away! I'm quite normal and definitely not creepy, and I'm happy to have a quick videochat before you take the plunge and book the unreviewed (but not inexperienced for the record!!) babysitter. I have babysat and nannied extensively over the past 12 years, and am comfortable with infants up to teens. In the past I've worked as a full time fifth grade math support staff in a public school, a preschool swim instructor, and nurse aide in a dementia facility for covid lockdown. I'm very attentive! I'm rarely on my phone when I'm with kids unless it's for something that matters, like to take a cute pic of them or to call a pediatrics MD about a nonurgent health issue—which is actually quite convenient for me because my mom is one. Once I get a handful of reviews, I'll start charging more like $30-40/hr depending on the number of kids. So send a message soon—you don't want to miss these Black Friday deals!
As an empty nester who raised three children of my own, I bring a level of 'mom intuition' and calm authority that only comes with decades of experience. I specialize in providing high-end, reliable care for families who need a seasoned professional they can trust immediately. My background is unique: I’ve supervised a world-renowned kids' club, taught a wide range of subjects, and have extensive experience working with foster youth. This means I am exceptionally adaptable, patient, and capable of managing any situation—from high-energy play to quiet routines—with ease. I am available for day-by-day, occasional, and last-minute bookings. Whether it’s a date night or backup care during a busy day, my goal is to provide your children with an engaging, safe, and positive environment so you can have total peace of mind while you're away. I am comfortable with all ages and look forward to meeting your family! I graduated from NYU and majored in psychology.

"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!"
