A little bit about me

I'm Maya, a sophomore in HS seeking a part-time babysitting job. I love spending time with children and building bonds off of trust and security. I live with my family in Chicago. I’m 15 and will turn 16 in May. I attend Fusion Academy LP, with a 4.00 GPA. I take pride in academics, relationships, and pets—my tortoise, and Chihuahua-Dachshund. I'm adaptable, and a problem solver; I approach situations considering all perspectives. Many say I have maturity and responsibility beyond my age. My warm, welcoming nature makes me well-suited with children. Safety is top priority; I learn allergies, health, and mental health info to protect children. I excel at healthy conversations, and creating engaging activities. When meeting family, I learn core values and expectations. I'm working on my permit and license; my mom can drive me, or I can Uber. I have a signed work permit and certifications in First Aid, CPR, and AED. I can care for pets. I am flexible; I’m not involved in extracurriculars.

More About Me

Relevant experience where I also cared for children were...

I have assisted my mom in watching our family friend's babies for an hour or two multiple times. At my past school, I assisted with children age 4-6 and they bonded great with me. I did gymnastics, and whilst on a team, there were younger kids of 5 - 8 years old who I would motivate, talk to on a personal level and have fun with.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

.board games (if they are older)
.arts and crafts (watercolor, pastels, bracelet making)
.soccer + gymnastics
.reading
.going to the park
.baking/cooking together (if they are older and want to help)
.pets

The most important part about being a nanny...

The most important part about being a nanny is ensuring safety for the children. Safety can imply protecting health (allergies, choking incidents, etc), and protection from unsafe environments. I will always prioritize the safety and well being of the children, and only once that's ensured, then will I introduce and engage in fun activities.

I have experience working with children of different ages. I worked at a daycare in Austin, Texas, where I cared for children between 1 and 2 years old. In addition, I worked privately with two families: one with a 6-month-old baby and another with a little girl who was almost 2 years old.
I am also a dance teacher, which has helped me develop patience, creativity, and strong skills for engaging and teaching children in a fun and positive way.
Spanish is my native language. If it would be of interest to your family, I would be happy to expose your child to the Spanish language through everyday activities and interactions.
I moved to Chicago about a month ago and I am currently looking for a family with whom I can build a positive and trusting working relationship.
