I am very experienced, responsible, loving and compassionate and energetic! I have two sons who are 24 and 28. (one has epilepsy and one has ADHD) I also have two stepdaughters who are 13 and 15 (one is ASD) I have always had a passion for taking care of babies, children and animals. I worked at my aunt's in home daycare when I was younger. She has a degree in early childhood development. She taught me ways (that still have an impact on me) to provide a nurturing and safe environment and fun ways to instill learning I am a nonsmoker, have reliable transportation and high comfort level with animals. I currently take care of my friend's baby on their date nights, have been taking care of her since she was born. She is now 14 months. I recently left my career in corrections (8/24/25) for a career that is more rewarding. For me, that is helping people. I have a BA in Criminology (minor in Soc) from Capital. My CPR and First Aid certifications are through Franklin County (copies available) I currently nanny part time for 3 families on week days (ages 7 months to 10 years old). I am also a available on occasional weekday evenings and weekends.

"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!"
