Booked by 3 families in Lake Worth, FL

Hi! I’m kalani :) I’m a 21-year-old college student and I love working with kids! I’ve been an afterschool counselor, camp counselor, and a substitute at an early learning center, so I’ve had experience with children of all different ages. I’m warm, fun, and positive — I love arts and crafts, music, and anything creative or playful. I have my own vehicle and can help with school drop-offs/ pick-ups, activities, or light household tasks. I always aim to make kids feel safe, supported, and happy!

“So sweet was super good with my daughter n just all around good with definitely have her babysitting again when I’m down ”

"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!"
