Booked by 2 families in Glenn Dale, MD

Hi, my name is Myka! I’ve always had a passion caring for children ever since I could remember. I’ve gained several years of childcare experience, caring for ages newborn to school-age in various settings such as daycare, in-home nanny and being a school nurse. Being a mother myself has also given me further knowledge and experience in caring for newborns to school-age.

“Myka is wonderful to work with! She is reliable, punctual and most importantly she is so kind and loving with our two energetic boys and we came back to two very happy kids who asked when she could come back again. ”

As a mother of two grown children and a delighted grandmother, I have a wealth of experience with kids of all ages, from tiny newborns to energetic school-aged kids. I've also had the pleasure of looking after my sister's four little ones when they were babies (they're all grown up now) and caring for my great-nieces and nephews. Caring for babies, toddlers, preschoolers, and school-aged children truly brings me joy. I love taking them on adventures to parks, museums, the zoo, and other safe, fun places. Some of my favorite activities include reading stories, playing board games, doing arts and crafts, and engaging in educational games. You can trust me to keep your child(ren) safe, happy, and entertained. I'm a warm-hearted person who will treat your kids with the same love and care as my own.

“We absolutely love having her as our babysitter! From the moment she arrives, she brings such a warm, caring presence that makes our child feel safe, happy, and excited to spend time with her. She is incredibly affectionate and nurturing, always ready with a comforting hug and so much patience. One of our favorite things is how much she loves reading. She spends quality time sharing books with our child. It's clear she genuinely enjoys engaging with children in meaningful ways. She is also exceptionally reliable and dependable. We always know we can count on her to be on time, communicate well, and provide excellent care. Her behavior management skills are outstanding—she sets clear, kind boundaries and handles challenging moments with calm confidence and consistency.”

"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!"
