Hi! my name is Meila. I’m currently a junior at SFASU getting my bachelor degree in Social work. I’ve been working in childcare for about 5 years now.

"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!"
