I can also send my references and letters of recommendation if needed. ‼️Disclaimers: •I am a local babysitter in my area and I don’t drive therefore, anything over 3 miles from the Overbrook Area will be a $30 transportation fee per every 3mi ! :) •My babysitting hour minimum is 5 hours • I can babysit overnight (please contact me to discuss rates, schedules, etc) Please check out my reach-out if interested!

"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!"
