Eleanor $15 per hour for 1 child

I am a recent college graduate from Emory with a passion for working with children. I have multiple years of childcare experience, including teaching, camp counseling, tutoring, and babysitting. I love to spend time outdoors and doing crafts -- it's the camp counselor in me! My favorite ages are 9-13, but I have experience with infants through 17 year olds. I have worked for a medical specialty camp, so I have experience with basic medical care/first aid. I also have experience with pets, and I grew up with parent working in animal behavior. I have the most experience with cats, dogs, and bunnies. Able to perform day to day care and basic medical care for most animals.

I enjoy real estate and new languages fascinate me. I love mathematics and have a degree in Accounting. I come from a family of 6 children and so my experience with babies is superb.

"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!"
