I’m Maz! I love kids of all ages, but have a soft spot for babies, toddlers, and preteens. My hobbies are anything outdoors (hiking, camping), reading (children’s and YA fantasy and sci-fi are my favourites), and dance (I was in a pre-professional ballet company in high school and the love for dance never truly leaves you). I have a bachelors degree in sociology, philosophy, and religious studies from Indiana University, and I completed about 3/4 of my graduate coursework for a masters in library sciences (with a focus in youth services) before we had to move states. I’m an open book and I’m happy to answer any questions you have! In middle and high school, I taught dance classes to little dancers ages 2-12. I was a camp counselor in high school and college for campers age 5-13. During my undergrad degree, I worked as an assistant manager at a Read more children’s museum and I managed the library located in my university campus’s family housing building. Both positions included planning activities and events for children of many ages and the supervision of those children. I spent a year as a before and after school care aide for elementary school children (ages 4-11), a summer with that school corporation as a summer “camp counselor” for first graders, and the following fall semester as a long-term substitute for an 8th grade college and careers course. I very briefly nannied a wonderful 6 year-old boy during the onset of COVID before his mother was able to work from home. And now I’m moving to Madison! I love reading with/to kids, playing pretend games, involving kiddos in the activities of daily life (like cleaning and cooking) in fun and age-appropriate ways, and doing arts and crafts. I also enjoy doing science experiments, building with legos and blocks, and playing outside (sports, playing tag, playing on playgrounds, nature walks, sledding and building snowmen, really anything outdoors!). I also find assisting with homework incredibly rewarding (that moment when the lightbulb turns on in their head and they understand something new is pure magic). Every parent wishes they could be with their child all day, and most can’t. Being a nanny means I get to be your eyes and ears while you have to be away. I get to help you help your child grow into the wonderful person they were born to be. What an incredible honor that is!
