A little bit about me

I am 66 years old. I am currently a high school science teacher. I retired after serving 25 years as the United States human resources, naval officer. I raised one daughter who is now a 34 year old attorney. I’m looking to help out on Saturdays when I am not teaching.

I’ve cared for children throughout my life. I worked for a care.com for several years. I love to entertain children with hands on activities that teach life skills, reading and math. I’ve also provided three years of in-home care for my 78 year old mother-in-law with dementia. I’ve also cared for my own 92 year old mother for the past three years.

I am old school. I follow directions and provide the care required by the family and the children. I am also a swim, instructor and CPR certified.

I taught nine years in the astrophysics department at Lawrence Hall of science, UC Berkeley, where is hands on science, workshops and physics and astronomy for pre-K, elementary, middle school and high school students.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

I love to work with students with hands-on activities that teach life skills and educational skills. I like to play games, teach cooking, create artwork, teach swimming, science projects, and tutor all subjects. I like to sing to the babies and teach them to play with their toys.

The most important part about being a nanny...

The most important part about being a nanny is providing safe and happy care for the children. I want to make sure that the parents have peace of mind, knowing that I’m caring for their children just as I have cared for my own child. I want the children to feel safe and comfortablein my care.

The most important part about being a nanny...

I especially enjoyed helping my little eight-year-old charge clean her room and sort her socks before going to bed in the evening . We spent time talking laughing and singing as she wound down for the evening.

Maya O. - Seeking Work in Suffolk

Babysitter Available in Suffolk, VA: Maya O.

Hi! My name is Maya Ortiz. I’m 17 years old, a communicator, and a student at Gateway Christian Academy. I’ve been babysitting for 3 years, working with kids ages 5 to 13, and I truly enjoy creating a fun, safe, and positive environment for the children I care for. In my free time, I love music and singing, crocheting, watching movies, and spending time in the kitchen cooking and baking. I enjoy being creative and bringing that into my babysitting—whether it’s making crafts, singing songs, or baking something simple with the kids.
I’m a strong communicator, very dependable, and able to adapt well to new environments and different family routines. I do my best to be someone children feel comfortable with and someone parents can trust. I’m excited to work with families who value kindness, patience, and a Christ-centered approach to care.
