I come from a family of educators and school psychologists. I love reading, taking walks, arts and crafts, going to the park, and tummy time. Looking forward to hearing from your soon.

"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!"
