As a caregiver, my passion lies in nurturing the growth and development of young minds. With nine years of experience in child care, I am committed to providing a safe, nurturing, and stimulating environment where children can thrive. I am a patient and calm individual with a creative and imaginative approach to learning. My friendly and approachable nature allows me to build strong relationships with children and their families. When it comes to communicating with parents, I follow their preferred method to ensure open and effective communication about their child’s day and any issues that may arise. I am also very comfortable enforcing household rules to provide a structured and consistent environment for children. My educational background includes coursework in early childhood development, which enhances my ability to provide age appropriate activities and experiences for children. I am comfortable caring for children of various age groups from infants to preschoolers. I am a mother of 4 children.
“Syeda was very responsive to messages, and helped our family with a last minute daycare cancelation. She was very sweet with our 9 month old daughter, and entertained her for a couple of hours. Would recommend her to other families in the Twin Cities!”

I love taking care of children, and pets. I have many years of experience taking care of both children, and infants. I will treat your children, family, pets, and home, as if they were my own. I am very flexible, friendly, and accommodating, and welcome “real time” feedback. I grew up, on a farm, in Wisconsin, so I’ve always taken care of animals, my entire life, and it is second nature to me. I had chores, from a VERY early age, on the farm, and was responsible for the care, and well being, of all the animals that I took care of. I really enjoy being active, and being outdoors, so I would love to spend time, with your child, and pet, outdoors, if possible. Trips to the park, stroller rides, walking to the ball park, arts and crafts, interactive story time, reading aloud from different kinds of books, are all activities that I love. I’ve also played the piano since I was nine years old, and would love to share my love of all things music, with your child. If you have a piano, in your home, we can even do some impromptu mini-piano lessons, if your child is interested. I have lots of years of experience taking care of families that have multiple children. I am also comfortable preparing meals, and snacks, sometimes even for the parents. 😆. I am comfortable with picking up around the house, making sure things are organized for when mom and dad get home, and throwing some laundry into the wash machine, and dryer. I do love pets too, and dogs are my absolute favorite.
56 year old retired mother of 2 adult children and small dog looking for some extra cash and getting out. I’m very experienced neurotypical kids but also with autism/spectrum disorders, ADHD, anxiety and mental health challenges kids sometimes face. They don’t phase me! 20 years of meditation has cultivated a calm, loving and patient perspective in me. Modeling this helps deregulated kids and even seniors who can get easily overwhelmed by life. Let me help them and cover for you while you take care of errands, appointments or yourself! Looking forwards to meeting you!

"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!"
