Leudy $15 per hour for 1 child

I am a responsible, patient, and dedicated person. I hold a Direct Care Basics - Personal Home Care Aide certification from Coastal Carolina Community College in North Carolina. My training has provided me with knowledge in safety, basic first aid, emotional support, and personalized care. Additionally, I worked for a year and a half in a residential group, where I gained experience managing daily routines, supporting educational and recreational activities, and developing social skills. This experience has taught me to be organized, empathetic, and calm in different situations.

Hi! I’m gabi and I study architecture at the University of Houston! (Go coogs!!). I have been working at child care since I turned 18 as a way to pay for school. I love having an impact in young children and to teach them to be creative and have fun! I have worked in all classrooms from infants to school age and I have enjoyed getting to know so many families through out the years.

“Gabi was great, my son loved her, she communicated well and showed up on time, very reliable. My kids loved her. ”

Hello! My name is Taylor, and I am currently a part-time nursing student. I am a licensed CNA with a BLS certification, and I am offering childcare, senior services, and household services. I love babysitting, and have been caring for children from ages 0-10 for the past three years. I'm calm natured, gentle, responsive, child-led, and love exploring. My responsibilities have included driving to/from places, tutoring (especially math), and crafts. As for senior care and household services, I was a caregiver for my grandmother for approximately six months. I can clean, run errands, drive, and assist with any daily living activities. I am fully Covid-19 vaccinated and boosted. Please feel free to reach out if I sound like I may be a good fit for your family's care needs, and I look forward to connecting with you!

"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!"
