A little bit about me

Hi, everyone! My name is Maya Chavez, I'm 18 years old trying to gain some experience before heading off to college.

Summer of 2025, I had the privilege of having a paid internship with Former Councilmember Francisco Moya, who taught me customer service, patience, and understanding when in comes to helping the District. I've volunteered in Back-to-School Summer events and done tutoring in-school for National Honors Society for 3 years. I'd be more than willing to tutor your kids in anything English and Math related!

Babysitting-wise, I've kept that very familial; I have experience babysitting toddlers up to elementary school age, from relatives and friends.

Overall, I'm able to balance academics and empathy, and I'd love to expand my skills as a nanny!

A little bit about me

Hi, I'm Brianna Milord. I’m 29. I moved from FL to NYC in 2019 to go to grad school at Columbia. Then I got a job at the New Yorker magazine as a fact-checker, which is where I still work today. I count myself as a compassionate and exceedingly patient person. I'm the only girl among 3 brothers and have taken on the modest nurturer role into my adult life. I feel most at peace when the people around me are comfortable. I love to listen and ask questions. I get along with most, in part, because I’ve come to learn that we’re all different, and to accept someone is often the easiest path forward. (There are limitations to this, of course, but in general I try to see the best in others.) I love to joke and laugh, although I know how to be serious too. I have experience watching my cousins, aged from 3 to 10. I appreciate quality time with a kid; they are the best among us! I can color, draw, paint—plus, as a writer, I'd say I have a creative imagination, which could lend well to playtime!
