Deborah $25 per hour for 1 child

Hello, my name is Deborah and I am a recent graduate of the University of Michigan, where I obtained my degree in Biomedical Engineering. I currently work as a Biotech Engineer, and will begin my Master's degree in Fall 2026. I have received my Basic First Aid Training and completed the Red Cross CPR certification course. I love showing my love to others through cooking meals and love to read in my free time. In caring for your child, I love to engage them through reading, educational games, puzzles and a lot of time outside. In past roles I've been responsible for meal prep, light housekeeping, school pickup/drop off and overnight care.

Georgia $30 per hour for 1 child

Nannied for a family of 4 (full-time) for 15 years. Overnight, Vacations and Daily care. I use a variety of different child-care philosophies (e.g. RIE, attachement, gentle care giving) I would say I am most aligned with “holistic” care-giving. Dependent of what each persons specific needs are. Meeting peoples emotional needs and watching them thrive is a great joy of mine. Full spectrum doula. Newborn and Night Nanny. Confident in gentle sleep training. (not crying it out) I’ve been involved in the homeschool/unschooling community for 15+ years. I have a degree in psychology, specifically behavior modification, and feel confident giving care to anyone with low-moderate needs. I am also a certified yoga teacher and was a lifeguard for many years. I am experienced in light household chores as well as having deep roots in nutrition, specifically anti-inflammatory diets. My personality is generally relaxed but I am fiercely loyal to the children in my care, meaning I need to work with a family that also views their child/children as complete people and treats them with respect. :) Also I appreciate adults who can be forward and up front about their boundaries and what they want from a caregiver.

"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!"
