A little bit about me

Hello! My name is Maura Jo. I would consider myself a caring, dependable, and creative babysitter with 4 years of professional childcare experience and CPR training. I genuinely enjoy spending time with children and helping them feel safe, supported, and encouraged to be creative and childlike.

I love engaging kids through play, and meaningful interaction, whether that means arts and crafts, outdoor activities, reading stories, helping with homework, or simply being a positive and attentive presence throughout the day.

Outside of childcare, I have a creative side myself and enjoy filmmaking, storytelling, and traveling. I love learning about different places, cultures, and experiences, and I bring that curiosity and enthusiasm into my work with children.

I look forward to building positive relationships with families and providing reliable, loving care that helps children feel happy, secure, and valued.

More About Me

Worked as a professional baby sitter in the Austin area under “babysitting connections” and have children experience serving in international schools.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

I love reading with children, exploring nature, and encouraging their natural sense of wonder and adventure. I enjoy helping children learn through everyday experiences while building confidence, life skills, and curiosity about the world around them.

I'm a bit old-fashioned when it comes to childcare, I believe in walks to the park, outdoor play, hands-on activities, creative learning, and spending more time practically learning. Whether we're reading stories, discovering things in nature, doing crafts, or learning practical life skills, I enjoy creating fun and meaningful experiences that help children grow, learn, and feel supported.

The most important part about being a nanny...

The most important part of being a nanny is providing a positive example and showing genuine love, care, and support to the children entrusted to you. I don't view childcare as simply a job, but as an investment in the next generation. Children learn so much from the adults around them, and I believe it's important to model kindness, integrity, responsibility, and respect in everyday life.

I strive to create a safe, nurturing environment where children feel valued, encouraged, and free to grow into who they are meant to be. One of the things I love most about working with children is that the relationship is mutual. I have the opportunity to teach and guide them, but I also learn from them. Their curiosity, honesty, and perspective on life are gifts that continually inspire me.
