Hi! I have my medical degree (MD) and am currently psychiatry resident physician. I’m experienced and comfortable caring for children and seniors who may have medical conditions or developmental differences. I always prioritize safety and open communication. I love being a sitter and have been working with kids of all ages for the past 8 years. I enjoy initiating activities, encouraging creativity, and helping kids feel comfortable and excited to learn and play. Available for date nights, weekend coverage, and backup childcare!

31 year old mother of two (daughters ages 7 and 9) and substitute teacher with ample experience with children from infancy to age fifteen. Adult and pediatric CPR, first aid, and AED certified. My substitute teaching experience, as well as being a mother, has given me the ability to multitask and adapt easily in any situation. I also have experience with homework support, pet sitting, household chores and cleaning, and errand running. Feel free to reach out with any questions you may have, I look forward to hearing from you! 🤗

"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!"
