Hi, I’m Christina. I have been taking care of children since I was a teen. I have three children of my own and a grandson. I have experience taking care of non verbal kids on the spectrum as well. I also was a CNA for four years, would be open to senior care as well. I can do household stuff like laundry, cleaning, making dinner as well as travel.

Showed up on time and was very professional.

I have been babysitting kids for 10 years. I am a grandma with 4 wonderful grandchildren that I have taken care of. I am very active and love playing outdoors with the kids. I like to cook and bake and make the kids part of the experience.

"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!"
