Hi! My name is Maia, and I’m a 25-year-old NYU graduate with a heartfelt commitment to nurturing fun, meaningful learning experiences for children in NYC. For the past two years, I’ve worked as a Public Programs Educator at the Children’s Museum of Manhattan, where I engage school-age children through hands-on, creative, and educational activities. I lead arts and crafts projects, early engineering activities, and movement and music exercises, always encouraging children to explore their creativity, curiosity, and confidence. This experience allows me to adapt to each child’s learning needs and interests in a playful, structured way.

I’m a responsible, organized, and dependable professional based in the West Village. I work full-time in corporate operations during the week and am specifically looking for weekend opportunities to help local families with childcare, pet care, and household support. I’ve also been a Wag! dog walker and pet caregiver since 2019, giving me several years of experience caring for pets of different sizes, personalities, and needs. I enjoy working with families because it gives me a chance to step away from my typical workweek, do something more hands-on, and spend my time helping others in a way that feels rewarding. I studied psychology and graphic design, and I especially enjoy creative activities, staying active, and spending time with kids. I’m primarily available Saturdays and Sundays and would love to find a family I can help regularly or occasionally. I’m reliable, communicative, organized, and happy to help make your weekends a little easier.

Hello! I’m Isabella and I am new to the city! I was born and raised in Venice Beach, CA. I moved to New York to be closer to my family who live on the east coast and to live with my best friend who will be attending graduate school at Columbia! I studied Psychology at UC Santa Cruz where I focused on childhood and adolescent development. Throughout college I was a nanny and worked at a local preschool where I was able to conduct my senior research project on emotional regulation in preschool aged children. I formed strong and lasting relationships with the families I worked with and stay in contact to this day. Many families I worked with prioritized Montessori schooling methods, so I am familiar with that style of learning. My first year out of college, I worked as a Teacher’s Aide at a school for special needs children. I worked with children ages 7-14 who had varying IEP’s for things like autism, dyslexia, and ADHD, among others. I was trained in CPI (Crisis Prevention Intervention) methods to de-escalate high-stress situations. I am a highly patient, playful, and responsible person, and I take pride in working with families and children. In the next couple of years, I would like to go back to school for a Master's in Marriage & Family Therapy, as I am interested in relationship dynamics and communication strategies. In my free time, I love to be active and outside! I’ve played volleyball my whole life, so I am eager to find a rec league in the city so I can play. I also love to travel and am lucky that my family prioritized this growing up, so I’ve been lucky to travel with them! My experience as a nanny has varied depending on each family’s needs, but I am familiar with school pickup/drop-off, snack and meal planning, homework help, bed/bath time, and planning daily activities. I have experience and am comfortable with overnights after getting to know the family and their children, as well as traveling as needed. I look forward to connecting and seeing if we would be a good fit:)
