Hello my name is Maria. The past few years I have primarily worked within restaurants while assisting families with household cleaning on the weekends. Currently I have a couple days a week available in which I can take care of tasks around the house or provide childcare which I have previously done as well! I can provide references as needed.
✨ Hello, nice to meet you ✨ My name is Mabel and I have over 6 years of experience working with children from 2 months to 14 years old. During this time, I’ve had the joy of supporting their growth, guiding their development, and creating a safe and loving environment for them. I consider myself a responsible, kind, and patient person who always strives to ensure children feel cared for, happy, and encouraged at every stage of their lives. I enjoy planning creative, educational, and fun activities that nurture learning while also giving parents peace of mind. For me, being a nanny is not just a job – it’s a true commitment to each family and to the well-being of their little ones. 💛
Hi! My name is Kelly. I have over 6 years of experience working with children, and I currently work full-time as a Marketing Director at a school.

I look forward to connecting with you and 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!"
