Jennifer $32 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Jennifer, and I’m a special education teacher with 19 years of experience supporting students of all abilities. I’m also the proud mom of an amazing 15-year-old, and I understand how important it is to find someone who is dependable, patient, and genuinely cares about children. Throughout my career, I’ve worked with students from a wide range of backgrounds, including children with special needs, English language learners, and those needing extra academic and emotional support. My experience has helped me develop patience, creativity, and the ability to build strong, trusting relationships with both children and families. As both a teacher and a mom, I know every child is unique. Whether your family needs occasional babysitting, homework help, transportation, or someone to keep your children engaged with games, crafts, reading, or outdoor activities, I’m committed to providing a safe, nurturing, and fun environment. I’m reliable, organized, and calm under pressure, and I treat every child with the same kindness, respect, and encouragement that I want for my own. I look forward to helping your family and creating a positive experience for both you and your children!

"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!"
