I love being a sitter because I enjoy spending time with children and helping them feel safe, happy, and engaged. It’s rewarding to watch them learn, play, and grow, and I love being a positive influence in their lives. I have experience caring for children of various ages, including 9 months to 14 years. I have helped with homework, prepared meals, supervised playtime, and ensured their daily routines are followed. I have also been responsible for my younger foster siblings and family members, giving me hands-on experience in childcare. I am skilled at creating fun and educational activities, handling daily routines, and maintaining a safe environment. I am patient, reliable, and attentive to children’s needs, which ensures I can handle emergencies calmly and responsibly. Background checks on this app cost a lot but I just turned 18 and I’ve never been in trouble with the cops.

Hello! My name is Maia, I am 22 years old I’m the oldest in my family by a big age gap, so taking care of kids has always been second nature to me. I have three younger siblings and a bunch of cousins—all age 12 and under—so I’ve been surrounded by little ones my whole life. I’ve been babysitting for family, neighbors, and family friends for years and truly love spending time with kids. Whether it’s helping with homework, keeping them entertained, or making sure they’re safe and happy, I always treat every child like family.
