I'm a single woman from Chicago who lived overseas in Europe for years and worked as a live-out full-time nanny for 4 years as well as many years of babysitting toddlers and school age children. I speak English and French, but have a basic understanding of Spanish, German , Dutch, Mandarin and Russian. School runs, outside activity/class runs, in-home activities, meals and light errands are all ok! I have a background in both dance and studio art (as well as a psychology degree), so creative fun is an easy ask.

Hi! I'm 23 years old & I love caring for children. I was raised by a great big loving family which offered me many opportunities for babysitting experience. I have been a nanny since 2021 to my premature sister and she is now 5! I've babysat for families from care. com since 2024, ranging from ages 0-10. I nannied full time for a 16-month-old girl until she became 3 years old & in preschool. Some of my favorite activities with kids that I care for are arts & crafts, music time, reading, and outdoor activities like taking them to fun outings or just being outside. Some of my responsibilities include caring for 2 kids, transportation, putting down for naps, the dirtiest diapers, potty training, baths, keeping the place tidy, laundry, dishes & preparing meals. I am Child & Baby First-Aid/CPR/AED. I am big on emotional intelligence, balanced eating, & balance in general with learning and playtime. I'm punctual, patient, and organized and will always be engaged with what your children do :)

"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!"
