Booked by 2 families in Leander, TX

Hi, I’m Lizzie! I’ve been babysitting since high school, and my passion for working with children has only grown over the years. I’m currently working toward a degree in Early Childhood Education, and I love expanding my knowledge and skills to help children thrive. My career in childcare began at a nonprofit organization for deaf children called No Limits, where I gained valuable experience supporting diverse learning needs. That role inspired me to become a preschool teacher at Primrose School, where I worked with 3-year-olds and deepened my love for early childhood education. Most recently, I nannied for two infants in a nanny share until they began daycare. Along with babysitting, I enjoy creating fun, age-appropriate activities that encourage early learning and development. I’m CPR and First Aid certified, and I’m passionate about providing a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment for children of all ages. I’m currently available for date nights, backup care, and part-time positions, and I look forward to connecting with new families!

"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!"
