Booked by 1 family in Fullerton, CA

Hello, my name is Rana! I’m 24 years old and I recently graduated from pharmacy school. I hope to keep up with babysitting as I prepare for my board exams and navigate my main career. I have prior experience babysitting for kids ages 3-13. I love spending time with kids and I’m very extroverted, so I know how to keep them entertained! I’m dedicated to making sure they have a fun, safe, and healthy time. I can assist with their studies, arts/ crafts, cleaning, playtime, light cooking, and preparing for bedtime. I also have two 2 cats and prior cat-sitting experience as well. My schedule is flexible so I’m mostly available anytime throughout the week with prior notice. I’m also CPR certified, can administer injections/ help with giving medications if needed, and am mental health first aid certified as well!

"We were incredibly grateful that Maya was able to help us out with a last-minute childcare emergency. She matched our 9-year-old's energy with arts & crafts, some quiet reading, and a walk around the neighborhood. We'd have Maya back in a heartbeat!"
