Reyna 2 reviews
$20 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 3 families in Shady Side, 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.
