Hi! I’m a Psychology student-athlete at the University of Texas. I love working with children, & I have worked at a nature-based daycare for the past 3 summers. Child Care: I have 3 summers of experience working at a nature-based daycare, primarily caring for children ages 18m-6 years old, but on occasion I would care for babies ages 6m-17m as well. I am comfortable changing diapers, potty training support, helping with meals, supervising children, and creating a safe and positive environment. Certifications or training: I am CPR certified, First Aid certified, and have a water safety training certificate. Activities I enjoy with children: I love taking children on walks, going to parks, playing outside, doing nature-based activities, arts and crafts, reading, games, and different types of creative and active play. Skills: I can help with homework and tutoring, cook and prepare meals and snacks, and keep children engaged with age-appropriate activities. Senior Care Experience: I do not have professional senior-care experience yet, but I am very willing to learn and provide caring, patient, and dependable support. Non-medical skills: I can help with cooking, meal preparation, light cleaning, organizing, errands, grocery shopping, companionship, and other everyday household tasks. Experience with pets: I have 4 cats of my own and have been around plenty of dogs. I am comfortable caring for dogs and cats and am happy to work with different breeds and sizes. Household Services: Through childcare and everyday responsibilities, I am comfortable helping keep spaces clean, organized, and running smoothly.

"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!"
