Hi there! My name is Emma, and I am so grateful you took the time to look into my account! A little about me, I grew up in Ventura and am currently in my final year of graduate school at Pacifica Graduate Institute to become a marriage and family therapist. I am currently working as a school therapist twice a week, gaining practicum hours towards my license. For undergrad, I studied anthropology and geography at Cal Poly SLO. In my free time, you can find me spending time in nature, playing guitar, practicing yoga, trying out new recipes, and going for runs. As the oldest girl in a long line of cousins, I have been babysitting most of my life. I am an aunt to four beautiful children aged 10, 8, 3, and 1. I temporarily moved into my brother's house the summer after the second oldest child was born to lend an extra hand. This gave me full-time experience working with infants and toddlers beyond the babysitting I had previously done. I am currently working at a PK-8 school and am very comfortable working with school-aged students as well. I believe in fostering creativity, confidence, and empathy in children while providing a safe, warm, and welcoming environment. I look forward to meeting with you and seeing if I am a good fit for your family! I am happy to answer any questions you have so feel free to reach out!

I also have my CPR/First Aid Pediatric for adults/children; I also have my certificate for child development. I’ve been a preschool teacher for 6 years already and I couldn’t be any happier with my dream job. I love teaching and watch them get excited of their accomplishments for example help with fine-motor skills,tracing,numbers, colors etc. I can help children and elderly; and also fur babies by going for a walk and play with him/her. I am going to start my full time job soon, but feel free for part times, occasional, if you really need me just send me a DM and we can work something out, don’t hesitate I am very open minded and we can definitely fine a way to work and help out with your kiddos, Seniors, and dogs.

"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!"
