Theresa Charlottesville
$20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Theresa, and I’m a biomedical engineering student at the University of Virginia and a member of the UVA track and field team. As a student-athlete, I’ve learned the importance of responsibility, organization, patience, and maintaining a positive attitude. I have experience helping care for children of various ages, assisting with homework, preparing meals and snacks, keeping children engaged in activities, and helping maintain a clean and organized environment. I also have experience caring for pets and assisting with household tasks, including laundry, dishes, light cleaning, organizing, and running errands. Families describe me as dependable, energetic, kind, and attentive. My goal is always to create a safe, supportive, and fun environment while giving parents peace of mind. Whether your family needs an occasional sitter, a regular caregiver, or extra help around the house, I would love the opportunity to help!

"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!"
