Hello! I’m a former Early Childhood Educator looking for part-time work as a childcare provider! I am passionate about child development and providing children with the very best care on every level. I don’t just provide basic care and safety but strive to create the best environment to nurture a child’s body, mind, and emotional wellbeing! I have provided care through daycares and as a private childcare provider and nanny for kids from infancy to school age. I would love to hear from you!

Hi! I have over 13 years of childcare experience and currently work with infants ages 3 to 18 months. I’m also studying Early Childhood Education, which helps me support children’s growth and development in a nurturing and engaging way. I’m warm, patient, love creating a safe and caring environment where little ones can thrive. I love to cuddle but also believe exploring is an important part of development.

I am a Senior at Shenandoah University, where I play lacrosse and study Psychology, hoping to become a NICU/ pediatric nurse or a speech-language pathologist. I love kids and enjoy being active and being outside as well as cooking and baking. I have been both a nanny and an occasional babysitter for about 5 years. I also have dog sat as well as cat sat. I am also experienced in senior care, as I cared for my grandmother and did 40 hours of clinicals in a senior living center.

"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!"
