I am a high school senior who has a passion for child development! Although young, I've been watching kids for years (more recently a 2-year-old girl; 8, 11, and 13-year-old siblings; and 4-year-old boy) as I have many little cousins and have watched them from infancy to now. I have my license and am CPR and first aid certified and also have taught swim lessons. I truly enjoy making connections with the children and seeing them prosper and learn in all kinds of ways while developing into their own unique selves and personalities!

$20 per hour for 1 child

I am a mom of 3 and a grandmother to 1. My children are grown and on their own. I was a stay at home mom for their entire childhood. I now occasionally sit for my grandchild who is 9 months. Having this experience again with my grandchild has helped me realize that caretaking is very much a part of me and it’s something that I excel at and enjoy.

"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!"

"We used Tania for a last minute emergency. She responded very quickly. My daughter seemed to enjoy herself. My son napped most of the time. I enjoyed how she kept me updated by text."
