Bernarda $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi, My name is Bernarda and I am 25 years old. I am currently working at a part time legal assistant position while also building my career in the wine industry. I have been working with kids since the age of 15, where I started coaching tennis to a 10 and under group with The New York Junior Tennis League. My experience working with kids is not something I learned at my job. Growing up at home my mom was a babysitter, and I always helped her take care of the children, from toddlers to kids in elementary school. I grew up with these children in my house and I learned to love them, help them with homework, and even take them out on small trips with my mother. Ever since I have helped my mom with babysitting , children have always been part of my life. Eventually,I was able to continue to work with children teaching them and making tennis a fun game for them to learn. I love to read, play tennis, and dance as well. I also speak Spanish and I would gladly be able to teach your son or daughter. I promise to take care of your child like they were my own. Make each day with me fun and exciting !

"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!"
