Hello ! ! ! Graduated from the University of Alabama in 2019. I work for a real estate tech start up during the week. I have always enjoyed babysitting and love picking up a babysitting gig here and there. It has always been a fun thing for me and a great way to meet families! I began my babysitting career in middle school and since then I have worked as a mothers help, date night sitter, summer break nanny, and weekend overnight sitter. For 3 years of high school I worked at a local yoga studio in childcare, and spent three summers as a camp counselor. I have a wide range of experience with all ages throughout the past 12+ years of working for a wide range of families!

Nakisa $1 per hour for 1 child

I recently moved to California from Toronto, Canada, for my new role as a Principal Systems Engineer at a prestigious medical technology company. While I love my career, I also really enjoy spending my free time with children and being around their energy, curiosity, and creativity. I have experience babysitting for about three years, and I’ve always naturally enjoyed caring for and playing with children. I’m a very patient, responsible, and playful person, and I love doing activities with kids rather than simply watching them. One of my dream jobs has actually always been to work in a daycare or spend my days caring for and interacting with children. Babysitting gives me a wonderful opportunity to do something I genuinely enjoy while also helping a family who needs a trustworthy and caring person for their little ones. My work schedule is Monday through Friday, 9 AM–5 PM, so I’m available for babysitting after 5 PM on weekdays and anytime on weekends. I’d be happy to work with your family’s schedule and help whenever I can . Note: I am doing this job as volunteer work to help families.

"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!"
