A little bit about me

Hi! My name is Maylani, and I’m currently in my sophomore year of college. I’m looking for a seasonal summer babysitting position and would love to support a family that needs help during the week! I have experience babysitting for families in my neighborhood, and I’ve also worked as a gymnastics coach for school-age children since the summer of 2023—a role I continue to hold. Coaching has helped me develop patience, creativity, and strong communication skills with kids of all ages. I have also been consistently shadowing a pediatric urgent care since June 2025, which has provided me with additional hands-on exposure to childcare in a clinical setting. If you’re looking for a responsible, energetic, and caring babysitter during the week, please don’t hesitate to reach out.
