Hi parents! I’m a 4th grade teacher with over 10 years of childcare experience, and I absolutely love helping kids learn, grow, and have fun. Over the years, I’ve cared for children of all ages — from infants to pre-teens — and I bring my classroom experience into every sitting job, whether it’s helping with homework, reading together, or keeping little ones engaged in creative play. Along with childcare, I’m also experienced in household management, including light cleaning, laundry, organizing, and running errands. Families describe me as responsible, patient, and reliable, and I take pride in building strong, trusting relationships with both kids and parents. Looking forward to meeting your family!
Hi! My name is Dakota and I am a freshman at the University of Memphis. I have been babysitting since I was 14, and have also taken care of many ages from infant to teenagers. I have my CNA license and have worked in a couple of hospitals, as well as my BLS certification! I am also able to take care of pets! Some of my duties included, making meals, driving to school, walking dogs, helping with homework, cleaning up around the house. I have been a caretaker for 3 years and have 4 younger siblings, and two families that I have babysat for, for over 4 years!
I am a pet-sitter, experienced with cats and dogs of all ages. I am happy to house-sit as needed, available most hours of the day otherwise.
I am a board certified behavior analyst. I’ve worked with kids since 2019 ages 2-6, as well as teenagers. I’ve also worked in a daycare center as a teaching assistant as a work study job while in undergrad. I enjoy working with kids, teaching them new adaptive skills, making learning fun, and keeping them engaged in fun, educational activities. I’m super reliable and loyal. I can cook very well, I don’t mind cleaning if needed, and assisting with other household duties. I am CPR certified and have also have reliable transportation.

"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!"
