A little bit about me

Hi! I’m Maya Rodrigues - a freshman at Loyola University Chicago studying International Business and HR Management, with a Spanish minor. Growing up in Sun Prairie, Wisconsin with a big, multicultural family with two brothers in Sun Prairie, Wisconsin has always made caring for little ones a huge part of my life. From babysitting and lifeguarding to mentoring teens, I’ve worked with kids at every stage, and am confident in saying that I bring a fun, responsible, and calm energy to every job. I enjoy planning activities and keeping a tidy space while making sure everyone feels safe and supported. I’d love to get to know your family and hope I can be of help!

A little bit about me

I have had about 4 years of experience in childcare. It has been my primary job option since I was allowed a job. I would love the opportunity to get to nanny and believe that the opportunities for hands on experience and one on one time is much more possible and beneficial for a child than daycare.
