Hi my name is Emily Moore (no longer Poblano, as I am married now), I’m 25 years old and I’ve been babysitting/ petsitting for 8 years now. I’m the oldest of 4 kids so I’ve got lots of experience with all ages. I was a 1st grade teacher to 5 kids during my junior year of high school and loved planning activities for the kids. I love to sing, dance, swim, go to the park, and explore new things. I am CERT certified, bilingual(English/Spanish), and I’ve always had so much patience with kids of any age. I’m also very good with pets of all kinds, I have 1 dog myself (lab mix). I also do have a car, I’m an amazing cook, and I can always help out with any housework needed. Im also very flexible with my time. If you have any questions or concerns feel free to message me. I am willing to drive to further locations, but I do charge $10/20 miles as a gas fee (less than 20 miles is no extra charge) IF YOUR CHILD IS SICK WITH A COLD/FLU/COVID/COUGH AND YOU DO NOT INFORM ME BEFORE HAND, I WILL HAVE TO CHARGE $100 FOR THE INCONVENIENCE/ NON PREVENTATIVE ACTION TAKEN. Thank you have a blessed day:)

I come from a large family with lots of cousins, of which I am the oldest girl. I have helped raise many children, and have two children of my own. I have many years of experience, deep cleaning and organizing, as well as had employment at a learning center in Baytown for two years. I worked with ages 6 months to 12 years, and I have been CPR certified for adults, children, and infants. I have a passion for caring for others, and I absolutely love animals. I have cared for rodents, fish, cats, and dogs in the past, and currently have a two year-old mixed breed puppy who I trained myself.

Xoe is an absolute sweetheart. She has a passion for helping people. She's gentle, caring and thoughtful and that's EXTREMELY important.

"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!"
