Hello! I am a part-time college student hoping to become a teacher in the future, I love working with kids of all ages and prefer a screen-time free/limited approach to childhood growth and free time.

Hello! I just graduated from Cal State Fullerton with a major in Child and Adolescent Studies! I am starting my teaching credential and master's program next semester. I am currently working within a school district in the IE, substitute teaching all the way from preschool to 12th grade. I love art, pets, music, playing outdoors, and so much more! I am on summer break right now and have a lot of availability, but once the school year starts up, I won't have as much. I would love to support your children as well as you!

Caring for a child means supporting their safety, growth, and emotional well-being with consistency, respect, and compassion. I bring those values to every family I serve. I am an experienced, energetic caregiver and mother, CPR/AED and CPI certified, with formal study in child development as part of my degree requirements. I am active, dependable, and thrive in supportive, structured environments that help children build confidence, healthy habits, and strong social skills. Beyond my professional experience, I volunteer with children in the special needs community and youth sports, which has strengthened my ability to adapt, lead with patience, and respond calmly in high-stress situations. I take pride in being fair, trustworthy, and genuinely invested in each child’s well-being. I would be honored to support your family and provide a loving, safe, and encouraging environment for your loved one.

"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!"
