I'm a former high school teacher and most recently worked as a nanny for two children. I focus on providing a caring and creative environment for children. Painting, reading and making meals/snacks are some of the activities they seem to like the most. I believe children should be encouraged to explore the world around them and have fun!

Hi! My names Aubree. I am a toddler teacher at a daycare school in Vancouver WA. My biggest nanny experience was for 10 months as an overnight nanny for a beautiful family. I look occasionally for some extra money picking up a couple shifts in a month to nanny. I am also working towards my early childhood education certification.

I’m a responsible and caring person with camp counselor experience! I think children deserve to be heard, and their needs met. I am a relaxed stabilizing presence for my campers, and am good at turning any situation into a positive experience. Positive forms of learning and personal connection matter a lot to me. Additionally I have experience with Nero divergent (OCD and On the spectrum) children. I am watchful and entertaining for the young ones! I am mostly used to managing larger groups of campers, but my best moments have always been with smaller groups or individual campers, listening to feelings and resolving problems! I've done care for younger children ages less than 1 - 3 for relatives outside of my camp experience. I think what matter's most at that age is fostering a secure relationship with the outside world, and I am frankly just fascinated to watch them learn! Please let me know if I could help your family! I am fully vaccinated and boosted. LGBT families are welcome, I am LGBT!

Every day is new and it’s exciting with a child. I love seeing the world through child’s eyes. Each day will play outside . everyday will do reading anf crafts. Music and special stories . also add fun to the day. I have excellent references I’ve worked as a preschool teacher and a nanny for more than 10 years. And I still enjoy every single day

"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!"
