Hi! My name is Grace, and I’m a nursing graduate from the Philippines currently working toward getting my nursing license here. Caring for others has always been my passion, which is why I truly enjoy helping families—whether it’s with child care, senior care, pet care, or household support. Child Care: I have experience caring for children from 10 months to 12 years old, including one family with an infant and three older kids. I enjoy engaging children in fun and creative activities that support their development—like reading, drawing, outdoor play, and helping with homework. I can also assist with meal preparation, light cleaning, and maintaining a safe, nurturing environment. ALSO OPEN TO NANNYING FOR SPECIAL EVENTS (corporate meeting, family reunion, weddings, etc.) TO GROUP OF CHILDREN so parents can have a good time stress-free. Senior & Geriatric Care: I have hands-on experience providing care for elderly clients, including those with limited mobility and chronic health conditions. My background includes assisting with daily living activities such as bathing, feeding, dressing, and medication reminders. I also offer companionship, emotional support, and light housekeeping. My goal is always to help seniors maintain their comfort, dignity, and independence as much as possible. Pet Care: I’ve cared for several pets, including three dogs, a cat, and even farm animals while assisting a paralyzed adult. I’m comfortable with walking, feeding, playing, and giving basic care for both small and large animals. I truly enjoy spending time with pets and keeping them happy and active. Household Services: I can help with cleaning, cooking, errands, laundry, and organizing. If needed, I can also bring my own cleaning supplies. I take pride in keeping a home clean, comfortable, and welcoming for everyone in it. Caring for people—young or old, human or furry—has always come naturally to me. I approach every role with patience, compassion, and genuine care.
“I highly recommend Maria Grace as a babysitter. She took care of my daughter for one year, and during that time she proved to be very reliable, patient, and caring. Maria Grace always made sure that my daughter was safe, comfortable, and well looked after. She was attentive to my child’s needs and created a positive and nurturing environment. As a parent, it gave me great peace of mind knowing that my daughter was in good hands. Maria Grace is trustworthy, responsible, and genuinely kind with children. I am very grateful for the care she provided to my daughter, and I confidently recommend her to any family looking for a dependable babysitter.”
I am a certified postpartum doula and experienced babysitter with over 10 years caring for newborns through school age children. I’m currently studying psychoanalysis, which gives me a deeper understanding of children’s emotions, behavior, and communication. I believe children thrive with attention and connection, and I bring a creative, positive energy while guiding them through tantrums, separation anxiety, and transitions with clear and consistent boundaries. I gently support children’s routines, from meals and sleep to play, reading, and outdoor time, creating a calm and engaging environment where they feel secure and cared for. Families describe me as warm, reliable, and easy to trust. Pet friendly and happy to help with child related routines. Please feel free to reach out with any questions. I’m always happy to chat and make sure it’s a great fit for your family.

Margarida keeps the house immaculate and is so thoughtful about keeping things tidy but still playing with the kids. Amazing! Will use her all the time!”
