“Mayra was our daughter's nanny for 1 year (6-18 months of age) and we had a wonderful experience. We met Mayra during the thick of the pandemic and we could not have had a better partner. Our daughter, my wife and i love Mayra and it was with a very heavy heart that we parted ways when we determined that our daughter needed to go to daycare/school. Mayra was always extremely careful and loving with our daughter and we always felt she was in great hands. She formed a very especial bond with our daughter and always stimulated her physically and intellectually. Our daughter easily completed all of the age-appropriate transitions with Mayra's help. They read, played, went to the park, and did arts and crafts. Mayra also cooked frequently for our daughter and fed her healthy and balanced meals. Our daughter was always happy to see Mayra. She has a wonderfully calm demeanor that helped our daughter be calm most of the times. When our daughter slept Mayra helped us with our baby's laundry and folding clothes. We have met other nannies and Mayra definitely stands out. From a personality perspective, Mayra is very discreet, easy going and a pleasure to be around. We highly recommend her.”

Hi! I’m a caring, patient, and energetic caregiver who genuinely loves working with kids. I have experience with children of all ages and personalities, and I always aim to create a safe, fun, and supportive environment where kids feel comfortable and included. I currently work at an after-school program, which has helped me build strong skills in staying organized, keeping kids engaged, and handling different situations calmly. I also volunteer on some Sundays at a children’s ministry at church, where I usually work with toddlers—so I’m very comfortable with younger kids as well! In my free time, I enjoy staying active and being outdoors, and I like bringing that same fun, positive energy when I’m with kids—whether that’s playing games, helping with homework, or just keeping them entertained and happy. I’m reliable, easygoing, and someone parents can trust to take great care of their kids while making sure they have a good time too!

Dominique $30 per hour for 1 child

I recently moved back to the area and am seeking childcare opportunities. My ample experience with kids in both childcare settings and as a counselor make me uniquely qualified for any childcare position. I worked as a child trauma counselor for children of all ages for five years. This experience provided me with an astute ability to connect emotionally with children, understand their needs, and help them to feel safe. I have a Masters in Social Work and Bachelors in Psychology; and worked as a babysitter and nanny for various families while in school. While studying for my Bachelors, I worked at a daycare for four years. I have a year of experience providing behavioral therapy to children and teens with autism and/or developmental disabilities, in addition to caring for kids with special needs in nannying settings. I have adored developing strong bonds with children throughout my life.
