Nataly $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m a warm, responsible, and energetic caregiver who truly enjoys spending time with children. I have extensive hands-on experience caring for kids of different ages, helping with school routines, homework, meals, bedtime, transportation, and creating fun, engaging activities that encourage learning and creativity. I believe every child deserves to feel safe, supported, and valued. I love planning arts and crafts, reading stories, playing outdoors, baking together, and finding creative ways to make everyday moments enjoyable. I’m patient, dependable, organized, and able to stay calm in busy situations. I’m also happy to help with light housekeeping, children’s laundry, meal preparation, tidying play areas, and pet care. I have a valid driver’s license and experience driving children safely to and from school, activities, and appointments. Families describe me as caring, trustworthy, proactive, and easy to communicate with. I always strive to build a positive relationship with both children and parents by providing reliable, attentive, and loving care. I would love the opportunity to get to know your family and become someone you can count on with confidence!
