Hello! Thanks for visiting my profile. I am new to the NYC area and at this time am only available for occasional weekends or weekday evenings. I have caregiving experience with ages 1-7 as well as many years of teaching & sports coaching experience with elementary and middle school aged students.

"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!"
