About Maya
Experience: 10 yrs
Hi! My name is Maya . I have a background in psychology and experience working with children of all ages, including kids on the autism spectrum. I love spending time with kids-doing art projects, painting, baking, reading, exploring outdoors, and finding creative ways to make learning fun. I'm patient, dependable, and bring a calm, positive energy to every day. Outside of childcare, I enjoy scrapbooking, cooking new recipes, gardening, practicing yoga, and hiking. I also love to travel and discover new places and cultures. I truly care about creating a warm, imaginative environment where kids feel supported, inspired, and free to be themselves.
Most recent review
Maya has been such a blessing for our family. She’s cared for my child, who has special needs, with so much love, patience, and genuine understanding. From the very first day, she connected with him in a way that instantly put him at ease — something that doesn’t happen often. She’s kind, dependable, and always so thoughtful about how she approaches his needs and emotions. I’ve watched her gently help him through sensory challenges, meltdowns, and transitions with incredible calm and compassion. She plans little activities that are not only fun but also help him learn and build confidence, which means so much to us. What stands out most is how much she truly cares. Maya goes above and beyond every single day — she communicates openly, asks questions, and really takes the time to understand our family. We trust her completely, and I can honestly say she’s made a huge difference in my child’s growth and happiness. Any family would be lucky to have her. 💛
