Maya Glendale
$22 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Maya and I’ve been working with babies, kids, seniors and teens with intellectual disabilities since I was 16 years old. I have experience babysitting newborns, nannying toddlers and children, volunteering at convalescent homes and being a teachers assistant to special needs high school classes. Some fun facts about me: I love roller skating, arts and crafts, swimming, hiking and reading - I even spent many years in charge of pajama story time for kids at my local bookstore. I have lots of energy and love being around kids of all ages. I’m very comfortable running errands, doing pick ups/drop offs and cleaning/organizing. I also love animals of all kinds and would be happy to pet sit anytime! I am a native English speaker and conversational in both Spanish and Portuguese :)

"We absolutely LOVE Isa — our family was so fortunate to have found her through UrbanSitter. I'm a first-time mom, and it took me a long time to find a full-time nanny I could trust to care for our sweet infant boy. Our boy connected with her immediately, and we couldn't have asked for anyone else to care for him. Her calming presence was also perfect for parents like us who work from home. We feel so lucky UrbanSitter helped us find someone who has truly become a part of our family."

"I was so stressed about finding a part-time nanny for my 14-month-old son, who has moderate separation anxiety and hadn't been left with anyone but family before, but we were both immediately at ease in Buhay's presence. Her empathy and commitment to understanding child development are apparent in every interaction I've witnessed between her and my toddler. I feel very lucky to have found her."

Kamilah W., mom of one

photo of quoted parent Eric

"Erna watched our now 5 year old daughter and 3 year old son for a few years. She is punctual, responsible, honest, and playful. What we appreciated most was that she was thoughtful in ensuring that we had a little break; for example, when the kids were clingy, she was able to divert their attention with games or songs or walks to the park. We felt very comfortable leaving our kids with Erna because of her caring nature and experience that spans a decade (including being a live-in nanny)."

Eric D., dad of two
