Hello! I was previously a teacher assistant for 3-6 year olds for a total of 3 years before moving on to bcome a Nanny for twin infants and a 4 year old. I’ve been babysitting since I was 15 and have cared for newborns- 13 year olds. I really enjoy cooking , baking, crafts, and the occasional science experiment. With a passion for providing nurturing care and a proven track record of creating a safe and stimulating environment for children, I am excited about the opportunity to contribute to your family.

Kids loved her. House was still clean after watching several small children for multiple hours.

I was a bilingual / ESL teacher for 10 years and have plenty of experience working with children from ages 5 and older. I love the spontaneity and unpredictability of working with kids. I have a dog of my own and plenty of experience with animals, as I also have been a volunteer at PAWS no kill animal shelter.

Paul noted that he recently joined Urbansitter and our booking was his first sitting job via Urbansitter. He showed up on time, was friendly and jumped right into playing/watching our son Miles who really enjoyed spending the time with Paul. Paul is attentive, punctual, fun, flexible and friendly, definitely would hire again!! :)

"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!"
