A little bit about me

Hi there! I'm Maiya

I am seeking a flexible family for part time hours to support my current hours with another family. While I finish my premed degree I am available for supplemental hours from 10a to 2p on weekdays and evenings after 5p.

I have spent the last 7 years working with kids in many different capacities from a full-time nanny, part-time babysitter and more. I'm a big sister to two and a passionate caretaker

If you are considering making me the newest addition to you family, here's some important things you should know:

- Language and education are very important to me as well as time spent outside and hitting those developmental milestones

- I love to cook and meal prep healthy options for the whole family and would be happy to share my nutrition portfolio

- I require certain job securities such as paid sick days and guaranteed hours. I offer benefits such as schedule management as well as half-off date nights for families paying 25 hours per week minimum

The most important part about being a nanny...

For me personally, nannying and babysitting provides a chance to works within someone else’s expectations. Your child is of the utmost importance and meeting their scheduling and needs helps to build my own character as well. Helping out parents/guardians is also a gift in itself, I know how stressful life can sometimes get! The opportunity to open new doors and new views of the world to children is so precious. Teaching music, new languages, and even basic skills like kindness and service is the ideal way to give back to the rising generations.

My experience with special needs children...

I worked for about two months with an 11-year-old boy who had autism. I taught him to swim and get over his fears of the water and by the times we finished he was splashing around all on his own!

We’ve also had several autistic children come through out nursery program at Bethany Church.

The most important part about being a nanny...

I love watching kids begin to grasp ‘adult’ skills like cooking, proper cleaning, and communication. With my current family it has been an express privilege to make breakfast in the mornings and build routines with a G2 and B4!
