Maia $17 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m Maia Elliott and I am currently living in Lower East Side, New York. I am offering child care, house hold services, and pet care. I have grown up always surrounded by young children as my mom is a preschool teacher so I would always help her with summer camps when I was younger. I became a sitter when I was 11 for all age ranges and started nannying two summers in a row when I had a break from school. I love spending time with kids and enjoy doing many activities with them such as art projects, walks to the park, baking, or also helping with any school work. I am most comfortable with pre-k-5th grade age range but can also watch babies as well. I am able to drive kids back and forth from different activities. Please reach out and I am excited to meet you!

"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."

"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)."
