My name is Verania, I am an enthusiastic and reliable caregiver with personal childcare experience and a nurturing personality. I am passionate about supporting children through patience, kindness and genuine connection while becoming a trusted extension of a family. I’ve given care to toddlers ages 2-4 yrs while following their schedule. My favorite part of taking care of kids this age is playing with them and letting them enjoy their time away from a screen! While also teaching them patience while their feeling so many emotions and they just don’t know how to control their emotions. Dog care: I have personal experience where I’ve followed the scheduled time for their breakfast/dinner. Also ensure to take them on walks when it’s not to hot outside, and play with them. Household: I offer the following -loading/unloading dishwasher -Folding laundry (only for child) -cleaning up any toys left behind -sweeping

Hi! I’m Zaynah, and I’m currently a homemaker. I offer child care and pet care services. I’ve babysat children in my neighborhood and for family friends, including toddlers and preschoolers. I enjoy keeping kids engaged with games, crafts, park outings, and reading, and can help with light homework or meal prep. I’ve grown up with pets my whole life and have experience caring for and training dogs. I love taking pets on walks, giving them attention and playtime, and making sure they’re safe and happy. I’m reliable, flexible, and love creating fun, nurturing environments for kids and pets alike.

"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!"
