Hi mom/dad! A little about me: I've been a caretaker for my younger brother for his whole life pretty much haha along with extended family members' children. I have experience taking care of children aged 0-13 for over. As for pets, I owned a few German shepherds growing up and loved and cared for them deeply, also fostered a bichon frise for a few months in 2022 and it was some of the best few months of my life! Adore animals with all my heart, especially dogs! Did not grow up with cats, but I do not shy away from giving them cuddles when given the chance. Love bunnies too! I'm also a rising junior in college working on personal projects and classes along with some free time on my hands, so availability for babysitting is fairly flexible during the week. A few hobbies of mine: going on road trips either with friends, trying out new places to eat, and thrifting. I'm always available for a video call so we can get to know each other and see whether we are a good fit for each other!

I have had experience with kindergartens. My mom has been teaching Elementary school for the past 10 years. I have come to her school to volunteer on my days off from work. This has been for a total of 3 years of volunteering. I enjoy helping out the kids and love seeing their growth throughout kindergarten. Pet care experience: I had a dog of my own for 14 years, he was a Lhasa Apso. I also did a dog walking job back in high school. I did this for a total of 2 years. After the 30 minute walk, I would feed the dog and make sure he had water and played with him for a little. I can do big dogs and little dogs! Senior care experience: I have worked for a agency called Homewatch Caregivers of Bethesda. I am an In-home Caregiver. I provide support , help run errands, do chores around the house. I have been doing this for 7 months now. I enjoy it because I love helping others out and I’m a people person!!

"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!"
