Booked by 6 families in Playa Del Rey, CA

Hello there, my name is Minami! I recently began working as a L&D nurse. I graduated from UCLA with a MSN in Nursing, and is offering childcare and household services during sole of my off days. In the past I was a home health caregiver, and is certified in CPR, BLS, ACLS, NRP, and first aid. I have also been a private tutor for over 3 years (K-6th), so I will gladly help your kids with homework! In both experiences combined, my responsibilities included driving to/from school, walking family dog(s), tutoring, cooking, and assisting with chores. Additionally, I am a crafty, DIY-oriented person who love to create fun activities if that is something your child(ren) would be interested in. In terms of childcare, I have experience taking care of my younger sibling, cousins, family friends, and the kids I've tutored. My schedule is rather flexible outside of classes so reach out if my given availability does not work out! I love to clean around the house to destress, and try new recipes when cooking!

"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!"
