Hi, I’m Zoe! I am currently a stay at home mom. My days are filled with cooking, cleaning, library/ park trips, walks, naps, developmental play, family time and so much more. I love caring for my son and building a childhood for him that he will look back on fondly. I believe in treating children with kindness and respect, encouraging their curiosity, and making them feel safe, heard, and loved. I genuinely enjoy spending time with kids as they learn and explore the world around them. I’d be happy to help with everyday household tasks and keeping things tidy. I know how busy life with children can be, and I’d love to help make a family’s day a little easier. I am looking for a family that would be comfortable with me bringing my now 11 month old baby with me!

Ilove being a babysitter and have been watching newborns, infants, toddlers, and kids since I was 16 years old.

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

"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!"
