Hi! I am a graduate of UMass Boston with over 10 years of experience working with children. I’ve gained my expertise through roles in Boston Public Schools, Case Manager, two years of nannying for a family with twins, and babysitting for various sitter apps. Throughout my career, I have worked with children of all ages and diverse cultural backgrounds. I am responsible, trustworthy, loving, caring, fun, and active. I enjoy doing arts and crafts and playing sports with kids. I am confident that I will be a great fit for your needs. I look forward to hearing from you!

Lots of experience taking care of cats and dogs. I have pets of my own and have looked after neighborhood animals for many years. I am responsible and caring and would love to take care of your fur babies so you can relax and enjoy some time away.

Did everything that was needed- took great care of my pets and sent pictures of their happy faces, which I loved seeing.

"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!"
