Hello! I’m Miss Nonette. I have over 20 years of experience working with children, from infants through school age, including children with special needs. My background includes preschool teaching, Montessori education, childcare, and reading tutoring. I especially enjoy helping young children build confidence and develop strong early reading skills. I use a patient, nurturing approach and enjoy creating engaging learning experiences based on each child’s individual needs and developmental level. I am Montessori certified and First Aid/CPR certified, with experience supporting children with developmental differences. I am available for occasional childcare, reading and homework support, school pickup, and other family needs that fit my availability. I also have experience providing care for seniors and adults with special needs. I speak English and Tagalog. I am allergic to cats and prefer homes without pets, although I may consider well-trained dogs, birds, or fish. I truly enjoy seeing children learn, grow, and become more confident. I look forward to getting to know your family and learning how I can help!

"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!"
