*Adult/child/infant CPR/AED certified with a basic pediatric first aid Heartsaver certificate that covered epipens, inhalers, cuts, and more* I am a crafty and energetic sitter. I am great with pretend/imaginative play. I love to do arts and crafts and will do different crafts if he/she would like to and would be willing to plan crafts ahead of time. I have experience with infants as I have a 10 month old myself. I also have experience with toddlers up to age 9 from babysitting as a teen. I can nanny share any day with a discount rate, or a full rate with no nanny shares as availability on Tuesdays, Fridays , and Wednesday evening and nights. I am also willing to do homework help. I do well with pets and willing to feed or walk a pet as needed for no extra cost.
I’m a preschool teacher with several years of experience caring for children of all ages, from newborns and infants to older kids. I’m fluent in both Spanish and English and passionate about creating age-appropriate activities that support learning and fun. I love doing arts and crafts, role-play games, cooking simple recipes with children, and having fun dance parties that keep them active and happy. I’m patient, responsible, and nurturing, always focused on creating a safe and positive environment. I’m also comfortable with basic household cleaning and have daily experience caring for dogs, including walking and feeding them. Families describe me as trustworthy, warm, and highly attentive to children’s needs.
I’m a mom of 5 kids and grandma to 10 kids between the ages of 2 and 17. I have many years of nanny experience and I was a stay at home mom for many years as well. I am easy going, flexible, warm and caring. I am CPR certified and a very safe driver with a clean driving record. I love to read with kids and get them outside. I am currently only looking for occasional jobs.
Hi I’m an experienced au pair with a background in caring for children of various ages, including managing daily routines and fostering a safe( one year au pair kids 5,7,12 yo and currently second year 5,6 yo) nurturing environment. During my time as an au pair abroad, I built strong bonds with the children I cared for, supporting their education, hobbies, and emotional growth. I’m responsible, adaptable, and skilled in household management, making me an asset to any family. I also bring experience with pet care and enjoy creating a fun and positive atmosphere for everyone in the home.
I am from Stamford I currently work full time as an accountant. I am very family oriented and love children. I started baby sitting when I was 12, and have babysat both on an “as-needed” basis and full-time. I love all ages, though I have the most experience working with newborn-toddler ages. I love being active, which is my favorite part of nannying/babysitting.

"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!"
