Hi, my name is Maya! My experience with overseeing children includes volunteering/working at a youth soccer camp for two summers while in high school. At the camp I held responsibility over the wellbeing of each and every kid at the camp with age ranging from 4-11 and kept them organized, safe, and always having tons of fun! I am a college soccer player and someone who loves to paint so I can provide great, enriching experiences for those sporty and artistic kids!
Hello there! I’m a high school junior who is wanting to go into child care I hope that I can get some more experience while also making some extra money so I can afford a car! I have experience working with children with allergies as well as children with separation anxiety and asthma. I also have experience with children with bad acid reflux and I have celiac disease myself. I’m calm under pressure and I’m often calm, while also being able to play with young children well. I hope I get to work with u soon!

I’m a responsible, hardworking single mom who loves children. I've studied Early Childhood Education and received specialized training to work with children with disabilities through Hope Children in Jamaica. I also worked as a student nurse at St. Joseph Nursing Home in Kingston, where I gained valuable caregiving experience.
In addition, I have six years of professional experience as a Security Officer at the Canadian Embassy in Jamaica, where I developed strong skills in safety and crisis management. Since moving to the U.S., I’ve been working to establish myself and am currently pursuing CNA (Certified Nursing Assistant) training. I’m seeking babysitting work to support myself during this transition.
Most recently, I completed the Community Café Fellowship at Havenly, a nonprofit in New Haven led by and for refugee and immigrant women. As part of the fellowship, I taught English and basic literacy to English Language Learners and completed three months of job training in a commercial kitchen, earning my ServSafe Certificate. I bring care, patience, and a strong sense of responsibility to everything I do—and would love the opportunity to support your family.
