Hi! My name is Maya Etheredge, and I am 19 years old. I attend Indiana University, where I study Fashion Merchandising and Advertising. I graduated with an honors diploma from my high school in Fishers, Indiana, before moving to Nashville, Tennessee, where I now live with my dad and sister.
I have a strong passion for caring for others and enjoy spending time with children. While in Indiana, I worked as a babysitter and nanny, a job I loved. I am often invited back to visit the families I worked with, and I treat the children like my own.
In my free time, I enjoy hanging out with friends, spending time on the lake with family, attending concerts, shopping, and playing with my two dogs. I also love reading and practicing yoga, and I plan to get certified to teach yoga in the future.
I consider myself a hard worker who is organized and reliable. Thank you for your time, and I hope you will consider me being you’re next nanny!
