Makayla $16 per hour for 1 child

I am freshly graduated and great with kids! During my time in high school I would lead cheer camps for little kids grades k-6 where I would spend time playing games, teaching skills, and giving snacks to the children. I also was a camp counselor at a vacation bible school where I would take care of many kids.

In these roles, I have been known to be caring, encouraging, and develop strong relationships with kids of all ages.

"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!"
