Hi! My name is Delfina and I’m 26 years old. I’m from Argentina and love teaching Spanish to kids!

Aida $22 per hour for 1 child

I have a lot of experience working with kids. I have been a gymnastics coach for the last four years working with infants all the way to teenagers. As a coach, my responsibilities have included running both classes, private lessons and summer camps. Classes and private lessons have really taught me how to most effectively communicate with kids, whereas working at the summer camps has allowed me to tap into my creativity, coming up with games and crafts that kids actually enjoy. I have always babysat on the side in addition to coaching, so I am also very familiar with any household tasks that might be expected of me- bedtime, making dinners, etc! If you have pets, I am happy to look after them as well. I grew up with two dogs and have a mini dachshund myself now- I love animals! I am very adaptable to your families needs and always communicate to the best of my abilities. Additionally, I am CPR and first aid certified!

I'm compassionate, dependable, and genuinely invested in every child's growth and wellbeing. I enjoy supporting developmental goals, helping with homework, and being a warm, steady presence families can count on. I'm also CPR and first aid certified for extra peace of mind.

You can tell she is both an experienced babysitter and a lovely person. Our daughter reported that she was “so, so nice.” We look forward to having her over again! ”

"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!"
