Booked by 26 families in Holmes, PA

Hello parents, families and those seeking help in the NJ area! I’m a New Jersey–based sitter available up to 4 hours a day, 2–3 days a week. I offer gentle, attentive care for infants through age 3, light pet care for pets that don’t need a lot of physical activity, and limited senior support like rides to doctor appointments or quick drop-in visits for medication reminders and light mobility exercises. I focus on calm, low-stress care so I can show up fully and reliably. If this sounds like a good fit, I’d love to connect!

Hello! I have worked with families with newborns to preteens and as an educator with students from 2nd grade to 12th grade over the past 9 years. I’ve created steam and art programs for all ages, from toddlers to teenagers, that engage a diversity of learners. I’m especially interested in organizing non-screen related activities. Currently I am an artist with flexible hours. I'm available for household services, as well. I love cooking, art and the outdoors! Note: any shift over 8 hours will have an additional overtime fee (multi-day commitments excluded)

"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!"
