Hi! I'm Maya. I have my Master's in Special Education and worked as a special education teacher in Brooklyn, NY for four years, supporting students with a variety of abilities and learning styles. I've also provided in-home respite and ABA care for individuals with special needs. Before and during that time, I babysat for families and have been caring for kids for about eight years now. I'm currently in school for nursing and work as a psychiatric technician. I'm patient, dependable, and love creating a positive environment-whether I'm helping children learn, supporting someone with special needs, or caring for pets. I have a dog and two kittens of my own and know how much pets mean to their families. I also used to play and coach college basketball and enjoy staying active, bringing that same energy and care into everything I do.
Maya worked for us for almost a year. She is an exceptional, professional and so kind to my 2 boys. My kids loved when she came over! If it wasn’t for us moving I’d have her still with us today.
