I am 33 years old with 3 credentials and a masters. I currently teach at the middle school level. I was a fully time nanny for 8 years. I have been a camp supervisor at a country club. I have been watching children since I was 16 years old and ranging from new born to 13. I love kids and can’t wait to be a mom myself one day. I just moved to Austin from San Diego where I still had reoccurring baby sitting jobs. I’m also happy to do some light house work. I love dogs and am fine with most animals. I’m fine with multiple kids no matter the age. I’m a great cook and can cook dinner for the kiddos if needed.
I have a lifelong affinity for children, and have focused my career on providing safe and nurturing environments for them. I am currently pursuing a degree in Psychology, with an eventual goal of specializing in Child Psychology. As the oldest sibling of three, I have personally worked with children for many years, and have worked in this field professionally for the last three years. My background focuses on children from 7 months to 11 years of age, and I am particularly skilled with toddlers, as I was an assistant teacher in daycares and provided care for one family's toddler for over a year.
Hello - My name is Alec, I am a graduate from Texas State University with a degree in Exercise sports science with a concentration in Pre - Rehabilitation. Following graduation in 2018, I decided to put off further schooling and have spent the last several years continuing at where I had started to excel before college, in providing value as a swim coach. I have coached for several different swim teams and am a fairly experienced athlete myself, but what I pride myself in is my patience working with all ages and ability levels of whatever I may be teaching, watching over, or even learning(from those who love to share their minds and ideas). I have continued in this path for so long because helping and guiding others where I can appropriately provide guidance or support is genuinely fulfilling to me, and I am more inclined by nature to do so. I have recently stopped coaching and have plans to grow my own private swim lessons during the warm seasons, and during the cold season I am seeking other work opportunities where I can best put my talents, skills, and experiences to good work for others whether coaching, teaching, tutoring, or caregiving.

"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!"
