A little bit about me
I’m Maya, I’m newly married. I’ve had a lot of experience caring for children, including three of my younger cousins who I practically helped raise.
I love arts and crafts, sports, and cooking, and I enjoy incorporating those interests into activities with kids. I like to keep children engaged and stimulated with fun, age-appropriate activities that encourage creativity and learning while also keeping them entertained. I’m always coming up with new craft ideas, games, and activities based on what each child enjoys.

A little bit about me
I’m 18 years old, I don’t have a drivers license but I am planning on getting one in the near future. My grandmother runs her own daycare so I’ve always helped her ever since I was younger with kids different ages, I love being around kids that truly makes me happy being able to put a smile on there face, I’m very understanding and have lots of patience as I have a 2 year old baby brother and everybody knows terrible 2s are the worst. I grew up cooking because my mother is a chef/baker so things like meal prep and cooking are very easy for me to do, I also understand and can work around picky eaters I grew up with one (my brother). When it comes to communication with kids I feel like I’m great at it and understanding there’s feelings and what they need when they need it like comforting them when there upset, playing with them, and also I’m good at staying calm when there frustrated because kids can always pick up on your emotions.
