"Dele has been helping me care for my child on weekends for over a year now. I enjoy having her around, she is easy to get along with and really kind to my daughter. She helps with homeworks and school projects if needed, and sometimes accompanies my daughter to extracurricular activities. Ive asked her to stay late on several occasions and she is usually willing to. She has been a great additional help to my family."

A little bit about me

Hello. My name is Briza Castaneda. I am 43 and I have 4 children. Two are grown, two are not. One small child lives with my mother and youngest is with me. My price for child care is 25.00 an hour. However, if I can have my child with me, we can negotiate pay rate. I'm a single mother, so being able to bring my son (6) with me, allows me to be more available. I do not have a car right now, but I can get transportation when needed. I have experience in child care and senior care. Housekeeping is not a problem, cooking is not a problem. I'm not the best cook, but with all ingredients provided and a cookbook, I can make it work. Honestly, what it comes down to is help me so I can help you.
Thank you
