Hi there! My name is Allison and I’m 29 with about 15 years of childcare experience spanning all ages. I’m a recent transplant to Seattle - originally from Chicago, but spent the last three years living on the Big Island of Hawaii. I usually work full time in marketing, but right now am on the hunt for my next role - which opens up my daytime availability for childcare! I’ve worked with countless families, from nannying for vacationing families in Hawaii to spending 5 years with a Chicago family as their several times a week babysitter. I love to read, travel, and hike - please let me know if you’d like to chat further!

“Easy going, playful and engaged effortlessly with my 6/4 year olds. Highly recommend. ”

"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!"
