Dear Parent, I have a 16 year experience working with kids. I have worked as baby sitter, tutor, academic enrichment coordinator, soccer coach assistant, mental health case manager for youth 5-17, ABA therapist and Respite Care worker for youth with disabilities. I find very rewarding to work with youth and children and see my job as more than a source of income; I am committed to empower youth with opportunities to improve their social, and life skills, equally important to build on their confident, resilience and self love.

Hi, my name is Cynthia! I have been working with children for about proximately the last 5 years. I started by watching my nieces and nephews before taking care of my friends kids. I usually babysit children at ages 1-8 but I am willing to babysit kids a little bit older. While I do not own a car, or know how to drive one, but I do have my own means of transportation to arrive on time. I can even do light housework and do not mind animals being around.

Cynthia has been amazing prompt and very helpful with my little one and our household. She pays attention always on time and my daughter enjoys time with her.

Love animals and love to take care of animals on a temporary and case by case basis. They just bring so much joy while at the same time help with staying active.

I'm a nurturing and experienced childcare provider with two years of experience caring for children of various ages. My journey into childcare began through fulfilling babysitting roles, where I discovered my passion for positively impacting children's lives. I'm driven to support families by providing a reliable and nurturing childcare option, ensuring children's safety and well-being while they're in my care. My approach to childcare is centered around creativity, imagination, and open communication. I believe in building strong relationships with both children and parents, fostering an environment where everyone feels comfortable and respected. I'm very comfortable enforcing household rules, ensuring that children understand and adhere to boundaries.

"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!"
