I would love to spend time reading to your children, playing outside, exploring nature, and dancing in the kitchen. I have taught preschool for three years. I have extensive experience babysitting, and I have eight years of teaching experience at the middle and high school level.

Hi! My name is Reyna. I am a paralegal by profession and I am fluent in both English and Spanish. My experience with childcare began through helping care for my younger siblings and children of friends and family over several years, starting with babies as small as three months. This experience taught me the importance of patience, compassion, and creating a safe and nurturing environment for children. In addition, I am very active and enjoy hands on activities and being outdoors. I do work full time during the day so my availability is mostly evenings and weekends.
“Reyna was awesome with our two boys ages 4 and 2! They got to practice their Spanish and read books together. Our kids really liked her and we look forward to working with her again.”
