Reyna 3 reviews
$20 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 4 families in Greenbelt, MD

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.”

Julie $22 per hour for 1 child

I’m a caring and dependable mother of three adult children with a long history of working with little ones. Before raising my own family, I spent two years working in a daycare, where I gained hands-on experience with infants, toddlers, and preschoolers. For many years, I also taught children at Sabbath School, which helped me understand how to keep young minds engaged, supported, and feeling safe. I bring a calm, nurturing presence into the home, and I’m comfortable caring for children of all ages. Parents often appreciate my patience, my consistency, and the way I help children feel understood and valued. What I Offer I’m reliable, punctual, and committed to creating a fun yet structured environment that helps your children thrive. I have a good car and a clean driving record, and I’m used to being on the road from my experience with DoorDash—so pickups, drop-offs, and quick errands are no problem if needed. Whether you’re looking for someone to help after school, during evenings, or for occasional support, I’m happy to step in and bring peace of mind to your family’s routine. Why I would be a good fit: • Mother of three grown children • Experience working in a daycare • Many years teaching children during Sabbath School • Safe and reliable transportation • Professional, gentle, and attentive • Comfortable supporting household routines
