Kylie PreK Teacher for 5 Years Bachelor’s in Early Childhood Education Over 10 years of Babysitting and Nanny experience for children ages infant-10
I’m a dedicated and experienced caregiver with a strong background working with children of all ages. I currently work as a Special Education Assistant with Minneapolis Public Schools, where I support students with diverse needs, including behavioral, emotional, and developmental support. As a mom of three, I understand the importance of patience, structure, and creating a safe, nurturing environment. I’m reliable, attentive, and great at building trust with both kids and parents. I can help with homework, meal prep, bedtime routines, light housekeeping, and keeping kids engaged in fun, age-appropriate activities. I also have experience maintaining clean and organized homes through my cleaning business, so I naturally keep spaces tidy and comfortable. I’m passionate about helping families feel supported and giving parents peace of mind.
Hello! My name is Bekah and I am a NICU nurse. My journey to nursing is rooted in my desire to care for others and integrate my background in sociology with hands-on work. I grew up caring for my siblings and cousins, always wanting to take part in things like diaper changes and bottle feeding, even when I was a bit too young. I am instinctively attuned to the needs of others which lends itself to my future career and to caregiving in general. I specialize in over night newborn care and being a “mother’s helper.” I can assist with feeding, lactation, sleep, and other newborn needs!

"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!"
