Hi Parents, My name is Maelvy, Mae for short! I am 25 years old. I speak both English and Spanish Fluently! I’m the youngest girl of 6 siblings, so growing up I was always the go to sister for watching the nieces and nephews. Eventually extending my help to family friends, and friends of friends. My experience ranges from weeks old to pre-teens. Including a child with autism. I also worked for a child care facility for 9 months. I started with the infants, and was later relocated to the pre-kinder class. Due to a shortage in workers. I enjoy being interactive with children by playing, and teaching. Weather that is being out doors, coloring, reading, or even teaching the younger kiddos ABC’s, 123’s, days of the week, etc, even Spanish. CPR, AED, and First Aid Certification are currently expired but I am currently working on renewing. I can’t wait to meet you and your babies, and become your go to girl when you need the extra eyes and hands, or even just to have a mommy/daddy day off! 💗
