$25 per hour for 1 child

Hi, I'm Noemi (Noe), and I'm passionate about providing thoughtful, personalized care for individuals of all ages and abilities as well as pets. I've worked as a middle school art teacher and an instructional aide, supporting students with a variety of abilities. I've also been a behavior technician and worked with young ones with ASD. I’ve been a caretaker as a side job since I was 15. I have experience caring for newborns to teenagers, as well as disabled young adults. I strive to make my care meet the needs of the young ones I work with. Whether that's imaginary play, board games, puzzles, books, or video games. I make our session fun, engaging, and reach developmental milestones. I also have experience taking care and being a companion to senior adults. I’ve taken care of my grandparents (80+) and a family friend who made it to the wonderful age of 90. Companionship is crucial to their mental health and I appreciate the wisdom they have to offer. I am patient, kind, and love to talk/listen to folks stories. As a dog parent myself (two wonderful pups, ages 7 and 13), I'm comfortable caring for both small and large dogs. Whether it's ensuring a safe, nurturing environment for your loved ones or providing attentive care for your furry friends, I'm here to help. Let's connect to discuss how I can support your family!

“Noemi is amazing! From ages 9-16, Noemi babysat my younger brother who has Down Syndrome. Through the years, Noemi supported my brother in managing and completing daily routine tasks such as homework, daily hygiene, and creative outlets. Noemi was always very patient and a great communicator which supported my brother in reaching his interpersonal goals to be able to carry out meaningful conversations to build relationships. Noemi's passion for supporting other's can be seen and felt. I am so grateful to have had someone that truly values and cares for others care for my younger brother.”
