Hi - My name is Patricia and I'm currently a senior in Memphis. I am offering childcare for my grandchildren and others in my neighborhood. I love being a babysitter and have been watching my newest grandchild this year. My responsibilities have included driving to/from school, crafts, tutoring, and even dance lessons. I am allergic to cats but happy to work with families with dogs.
“Perfect in every way!”
I possess diverse skill sets that includes TV mounting, mirror and painting installation, and furniture assembly from brands like Amazon and Ikea. As a handyman, you excel in various home improvement tasks, showcasing your practical expertise and attention to detail in every project. Your ability to tackle multiple tasks makes you a valuable resource for enhancing living spaces.
I am the head coach for Lakeland Preparatory middle school boys lacrosse team. I have been the head coach of this program for 3 years, and both parents and players will attest that I am extremely effective at teaching young boys about self respect, discipline and independence. I also have 4 younger siblings that I, for a large portion of my life, have taken care of.

"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!"
Hillary S., parent
"We used Tania for a last minute emergency. She responded very quickly. My daughter seemed to enjoy herself. My son napped most of the time. I enjoyed how she kept me updated by text."
