$25 per hour for 1 child

I have been babysitting since I was 15 years old, caring for families with anywhere from one to four children ranging in age from newborns to 12 years old. I also have a one year old of my own and bring a strong educational background to my childcare experience. I’ve been a teacher for nine years with a focus in special education and have taught Kindergarten, 1st, 3rd, 4th, and 5th grades. I’m very hands-on and love engaging kids in both indoor and outdoor activities, from creative crafts to active play. I’m also happy to help with homework, chores, and daily routines. I can prepare meals, tidy up, and ensure the kids stay on track while having fun. In addition to my love for working with children, I’m an animal lover who grew up with dogs and currently has a chocolate lab.

“Absolutely wonderful! Courtney is engaged with my son the whole time she is here!”

Hi! I’m currently going into my junior year of college and have several years of experience working with children of different ages. I’ve worked at a daycare since 2022, where I’ve gained hands-on experience caring for children, planning activities, keeping them engaged, and creating a fun, safe, and supportive environment. I’m responsible, patient, caring, and energetic, and I genuinely love working with kids! I enjoy getting to know each child’s personality and interests, whether that means doing arts and crafts, playing outside, helping with homework, playing games, or just spending time with them. My experience at a daycare has also made me comfortable caring for multiple children at once and handling the different routines and responsibilities that come with childcare. I’m looking forward to connecting with families and providing dependable care while making sure their children feel comfortable, safe, and have fun!

I am a mother of two, wildly energetic toddlers under the age of 5! I have a Masters in Social Work, am passionate about the neurodivergent community and I'm a houseplant enthusiast! My love for pets is unmatched and unbiased (cats + dogs are equally adored). I have experience as a part-time nanny (10+ years) and continue to work with children presently. I welcome the opportunity to support any household needs families may have as well!

"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!"
