I have been working with and taking care of animals for years, and pick up watching any critters when it fits in a full time schedule. Very attentive, detail oriented and reliable. Organized and orderly, able to adapt to your system and keep up with the house or farm.

"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!"
