Jhenny $20 per hour for 1 child

Warm, patient, and trustworthy, with more than 10 years of experience as a kindergarten teacher and the loving mother of my own children. I understand how important it is for parents to find someone who is not only responsible and dependable, but also genuinely caring, attentive, and committed to their child’s well-being. Throughout my teaching career, I have cared for children with different personalities, needs, and learning styles. I am comfortable creating a safe, positive, and engaging environment where children feel supported, respected, and happy. I enjoy reading, playing, doing creative activities, helping with learning, and encouraging children to explore their interests while maintaining clear routines and gentle guidance. As a mother and educator, I know how much trust families place in a caregiver. I take that responsibility seriously and always prioritize safety, kindness, communication, and consistency. I am dedicated to providing thoughtful, loving care and treating every child as an individual. Parents can feel confident knowing their children are in caring, capable, and trustworthy hands.
