ilvana $25 per hour for 1 child

I am a loving and responsible mom of two — I have an 11-year-old son and a 22-year-old daughter. Over the years, I’ve cared for several children on weekends, and I truly enjoy spending time with kids. Families often tell me that even the most energetic or difficult children feel calm and comfortable with me. I love creating a safe, fun, and nurturing environment, whether it’s helping with homework, preparing light meals, or keeping children engaged in positive activities. Caring for kids is something that comes naturally to me, and I treat every child with the same love and patience as I do my own.
