AAS Degree Early Childhood Development, 10+ yrs Preschool Teacher, raised 3 children of my own 19yr old girl, 15yr old girl, and 13yr old boy, I also am a Lifer Auntie of over 20plus niece and nephews, and great niece and nephews.

Experienced and compassionate caregiver with a passion for working with both children and animals. Three summers of experience as a Counselor at the Southwest Super Summer Program, where I developed and led activities for school-age campers. Adept at connecting with children of diverse needs and interests, including experience supporting children with ADHD and learning differences. Also an experienced pet sitter/caretaker for cats, dogs, and rabbits. Available for light homework assistance, household cleaning, and meal prep.
With a strong foundation in service and dedication, I am a compassionate caregiver and military veteran, bringing a wealth of experience and a nurturing spirit to every role I undertake. With a Bachelor’s degree, I combine academic knowledge with practical skills honed through diverse experiences, including my time as a para-professional within the school district. In this role, I have provided support to young children and those with special needs, ensuring an inclusive and enriching environment for all. As a proud dog mom to a 14-year-old pup, I understand the importance of companionship and empathy, qualities that translate seamlessly into my caregiving approach. My professional background as a kitchen staff member at a Girl Scout camp has further developed my ability to create a warm and welcoming atmosphere, catering to the needs of children and fostering their growth through engaging activities. Additionally, my passion for gardening reflects my nurturing nature and commitment to fostering growth—both in plants and in the lives of those I care for. I am dedicated to providing high-quality care, ensuring that every individual feels valued, supported, and empowered. My unique blend of military discipline, educational experience, and a heartfelt commitment to service, I am not just a caregiver but a steadfast advocate for the well-being of those I serve.
I am born and raised in Minneapolis and I currently am enrolled in college. I dont have much experience caring for kids all the time however I do have younger family members I have babysat. My mother has also worked in early childcare for over 25 years if that gives me any extra credibility(?). I get along pretty well with kids of all ages and I would say I am patient and I can handle frequent meltdown or any incidents that occur. I currently do not have any personal transportation but I do take the bus and I can walk.

"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!"
