Hello, I'm Maya! I attend Mount Holyoke College, where I study political science and educational psychology. I am seeking a meaningful position as a part-time nanny. I hope to forge a bond with your family. I strive to be the best role model for these young, developing minds as well as a nurturing, safe companion. I try to live very authentically, and I have found that children give me the greatest joy. I am also an avid animal lover of all kinds. My previous jobs include being a cooking camp counselor, assistant teacher, and working at a ceramic studio. I have been babysitting for over four years, usually with families of two or three children that I stay with long-term. I love being able to watch children grow and become their own unique, sweet, generous person. More recently I have been a date-night and occasional sitter for several newborns. And Read more I mentor a young woman with special needs. I am CPR and first aid certified, background checked, and TB-negative. *please note I do not have a car so I cannot transport kids
