Booked by 1 family in La Grange, IL

Hi! My name is Yazzy and I’m currently a regent graduate from Columbia College Chicago. I am offering childcare services & pet services. I love being a babysitter and I’ve worked as a nursery worker until recently so I have several experiences with newborns, infants, and toddlers since I was 15 years old. My responsibilities have included crafts, tutoring, and meal prep. I also work as a photography assistant and can take your family portraits! I have four dogs of my own and I’m very comfortable around all pets & will treat your fur-babies as one of my own.

"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!"
