As a mom myself, I know first hand how difficult (and overwhelming at times) it was to find a trusting babysitter or nanny for my boys when they were younger. The way I see it, there is no greater job than being a parent. And when you have to make it to your job and can't be "there" for your children, you want to make sure they are in the right hands. That's where I come in, to offer you the peace of mind that your child will be safe, well cared for, nurtured and encouraged to thrive. I have a long experience with child care, from newborn to school age teenagers. I have a Bachelors in Education Sciences, with emphasis in Child Development. I am current on CPR, AED and First Aid training, and I am certified in Defensive Driving. I am also a Washington state Certified Specialized Para-Educator working with my school district in the mornings during the school year. If you're reading this message it’s because you're in need of someone you can trust your child with. So, send me a message and I will respond promptly.

We had such a wonderful experience with Ilda! She was always punctual—often arriving a little early each day, which immediately put us at ease. From the moment she met our baby, it was clear she had a natural gift with children. Our little one instantly connected with her and was so happy and comfortable in her care. What really stood out was not only her warmth and patience, but also her depth of experience. She shared thoughtful insights about our baby’s development and what to expect in the coming months, which was incredibly helpful for us as new parents. It felt like she wasn’t just providing care, but also partnering with us in understanding our child’s growth. We feel so lucky to have found Ilda and would enthusiastically recommend her to any family looking for a trustworthy, insightful, and experienced caregiver.

I have always babysat and loved it. I mostly did family friends and neighbors but had work with people that I just met, too. I am too soft for my own good. It is good for the kids though. I have done services ranging from babysitting to cleaning houses. I always do my best to ensure a good experience to the one I’m caring for. I do love babies specifically and hope to get more experience with newborns.

"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!"
