Hi, I’m Mary Ellen (M.E. for short). I’m a warm, compassionate, attentive caretaker and graduate student. I’m looking for part-time to full-time opportunities while I complete my degree. I have experience with infants, toddlers, pre-teens, special needs adults, and pets. I currently provide community habilitation services to young women with autism and intellectual disabilities, including remote job coaching, mentorship, and executive functioning support. With years of reporting, interviewing, and managing complex workflows as a journalist, I bring strong communication, patience, and problem-solving skills to caregiving. My background has trained me to stay calm under pressure, listen closely, and respond thoughtfully when supporting my clients. I’m organized, dependable, and skilled at creating structure while encouraging independence and creativity. My experience collaborating with diverse communities has strengthened my ability to connect with individuals from different backgrounds and build trust quickly. Above all, I’m empathetic and committed to fostering a safe, positive environment where each individual feels heard, supported, and engaged.

"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!"
Hillary S., parent
