Maya $18 per hour for 1 child
Hi! My name is Maya, and I’m a caring, dependable, and patient childcare provider with 5 years of experience working with children of all ages, including newborns, infants, toddlers, and children with autism and developmental delays. I’ve cared for children in both nannying and babysitting settings, including working with a foster family of four children and providing long term care for a toddler for two years. My experience includes preparing meals, diapering, potty training, nap and bedtime routines, keeping children engaged with fun age appropriate activities, and creating a safe and nurturing environment. I truly enjoy working with children and getting to know their individual personalities and needs. I’m responsible, attentive, and comfortable following a family’s routines and instructions. My goal is always to make sure children feel safe, happy, and cared for while giving parents peace of mind.
