Hi! My name is Wenddy 💗 I’m a mom of two (my kids are now older), so I truly understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your children. Most of my childcare experience comes from raising my own kids and helping care for children within my family over the years. I really enjoy creating a calm, safe, and loving environment where kids feel comfortable, supported, and cared for like family. I also have caregiving experience, including caring for my grandmother, who has since passed and is now in heaven 🤍 That time in my life deeply shaped my patience, compassion, and the way I care for others with kindness and respect. At this time, I’m only available for occasional babysitting. When I do care for children, I bring a warm, calm presence and always treat them with genuine care and attention. Families describe me as dependable, patient, and very caring. I take trust seriously and always show up with heart and responsibility. I’m bilingual (English & Spanish), have a Live Scan background check, clean driving record, reliable transportation, and I’m fully vaccinated. I would love the opportunity to support a family who needs occasional, trustworthy care 💗
“Enjoyed using Wenddy. I would use her again.”
