I raised two children as a single parent and have some experience as a professional sitter. I am a freelance writer looking for extra income. I have an advanced degree and can tutor in many subjects, especially writing. I have also had dogs most of my adult life and have some experience with cats.
Hello! My name is Veronika, and I’m a proud mother with over 15 years of childcare experience. My background includes working in daycare settings with infants as young as 3 months through age 5, as well as nannying for children of various ages. I’m caring, patient, dependable, and passionate about creating a safe, loving, and nurturing environment. I enjoy arts and crafts, outdoor activities, walks, and helping children learn and grow through everyday experiences. Your child’s safety and happiness are always my top priorities. I value open communication, respect each family’s routines, and treat every child with the same love and attention I give my own. I’m also happy to assist with light housekeeping and daily household tasks. I look forward to the opportunity to become a trusted part of your family!

"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!"
Hillary S., parent
"We used Tania for a last minute emergency. She responded very quickly. My daughter seemed to enjoy herself. My son napped most of the time. I enjoyed how she kept me updated by text."
