Hi my name is Zyné! I’m currently a senior in high-school along with working to attain my associates degree at Prince George’s community college. I’m offering Child care, & pet care services. I love being able to be a helping hand and provide support to those who need it, whether that’s taking care of your babies while you’re away or stoping by the house to make sure your fur babies are fed, getting active, and loved on. I have been surrounded by all different types of animals along with a variety of ages for 8+ years.

"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!"
