I love pets! I have 4 of my own and care for the community cats outside. I’ll care for your cats like my own and I understand and respect quirks they may have.

Wonderful and caring person. Thank you for taking care of my loved ones!

$25 per hour for 1 child

I have a strong background in healthcare and caregiving, supported by both hands-on experience and academic training. I recently graduated from nursing school and am a Registered Nurse. I will begin working as an emergency department nurse at The Ohio State University in April and completed my capstone preceptorship in the emergency department, where I cared for patients across the lifespan in high-stress, fast-paced situations. I hold certifications in BLS, Trauma-Informed Care (TIC), and Crisis Prevention Intervention (CPI), all of which support my ability to provide safe, responsive, and compassionate care. In addition to my clinical work, I have experience working with children through my time at Jumpstart, where I supported early childhood education and development in underserved communities. I have also working with adolescents in a psychiatric setting and provided mentorship to adolescents through my work at Brown University’s precollege program. I have past experience working with young children in volunteer settings during high school and college. I’ve also worked with seniors and individuals with mental health needs in long-term care and inpatient psychiatric settings. I’m comfortable supporting people with complex health conditions, behavioral challenges, and developmental needs. I additionally have experience providing household assistance and caring for pets. I’m dependable, patient, and calm under pressure, with strong communication skills and a deep sense of empathy. My background in Medical Anthropology adds to my holistic, culturally sensitive approach to caregiving. I genuinely enjoy building trust with the individuals and families I care for, ensuring they feel safe, respected, and supported.

"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!"
