Minerva's Bio

I have been in the child care field for 13 years and enjoy every bit of it! I was a teacher for a before and after school program and in turn, ran a preschool program at a private daycare center. Furthermore, through the years I have also spent time outside of my day job to babysit (infants to school-age children), assist parents with picking up their children from school and taking them to their after-school...

Raymond R. says:
I can't say enough about Minerva. My wife and I think that she is amazing. We hired her for a one-time engagement to provide day-care for a number of children whose parents attended a holiday party at our home. She was super-prepared. We've never seen anything like it. She brought games, and crafts...even some child appropriate furniture. The kids just loved her. She was completely independent from... More

Rich I. says:
Minerva did a great job watching and supervising my son while I was out of town. She followed through on all action items, kept the house clean and neat, and made sure my son had the proper supervision, food, and other needs. She is friendly, energetic and trustworthy!! I would definitely recommend her for any caregiving position and will use her again for future opportunities.

Marian E. says:
Minerva has been babysitting for us regularly since early November. She's responsible, creative, brings interesting new crafts & activities for the children, pays attention to detail in caring for them and in cleaning up the kitchen after bedtime; in short, she is highly recommended!

We had the opportunity to meet her during the initial interview and we were delighted. She had great energy. My daughter loved her, especially after she read her one of her favorite books. We are looking forward to hiring her soon!

Jennifer R. says:
I couldn't have asked for a more attentive and involved sitter for my boys. Knowing that we were only in town from San Antonio visiting friends, Minerva brought with her age-appropriate games and an entire train set to keep my little ones busy and entertained. We all felt comfortable with her upon meeting the evening prior to her baby-sitting. Upbeat, intelligent and patient, you and your children will love her! More

Jennifer E. says:
Minerva cared for my 3 children from 4/20-4/22/11. She arrived to my house each day with various activities, crafts and games to keep the kids occupied. My children took to her immediately and enjoyed the time they spent together. I was impressed by her preparation and thoughtfulness to engage my children in activities that were appropriate to them while also tending to their physical needs and maintaining... More

Mary A. says:
Minerva watched my three children and a friend's child for me last week. She arrived early and came prepared with arts and crafts. The following morning when we spoke to our kids about their experience they had nothing but great things to say about Minerva. They loved the arts and crafts! A few days later my 4 year old asked if Minerva could come back and watch him! We have found a wonderful sitter for our... More

Meredith D. says:
Minerva worked for us this past week and my 3 kids (aged 7-10) loved her. She was very responsible, picking them up from school each day, helping with homework, and coordinating times/snow days, etc. with me. She is very caring, warm, and engaging with the kids, and even brought her own craft supplies to entertain them on the snow day and after homework. I felt much better being away from home knowing they... More
