I am currently a college freshman and attending the University of Colorado Boulder, I am studying Integrative Physiology in hopes to go into the medical field or dental school. I am from a tiny town in south Colorado and have 2 sweet littles sisters and so many baby cousins and absolutely love kids and have tons of experience with babysitting, cleaning etc. I am very organized and keep everything very clean and I work super hard. I also live on a ranch so I have plenty of experience with every type of animal. I can be pretty flexible and I hope I can be a great asset to an amazing family.

"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!"

"We used Tania for a last minute emergency. She responded very quickly. My daughter seemed to enjoy herself. My son napped most of the time. I enjoyed how she kept me updated by text."
