Hi! My name is Eva, and I recently graduated from UC Santa Barbara with a B.S. in Psychology and just moved to San Francisco. I’ve been caring for younger kids my whole life and have years of babysitting experience with toddlers and school-age children. I’m happy to help with school pick-ups and drop-offs, homework support, crafts, and outdoor play. I can also cook kid-friendly meals, tidy play areas, and handle household cleaning. I love animals and am comfortable caring for pets, like cats and small dogs. Whether you’re looking for regular childcare or occasional date-night coverage, I am reliable and energetic and ready to help!
I am the oldest daughter of 4 children and have enjoyed the experience of having significantly younger siblings. Being around them has ensured my love of kids and babysitting from an early age. I’ve babysat since I was 16 years old and have enjoyed the energy and curiosity that kids always seem to have. Their excitement is absolutely contagious and makes it hard not to be happy when you’re around them. My favorite thing to do when babysitting is cook with the kids, do a fun creative project like making a magazine collage to show their parents, and reading all their favorite books. All before bedtime! I have a corporate job that occupies my 9am-5pm during the week, but have ample time in the evenings and weekends to explore the city and neighborhoods and see them through the curious mind of a child! I am respectful of the differences in how every person decides to parent their children and have no issue following their rules. Your child’s safety and well-being is my number one priority!

"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!"
