My name is Maia, and I am twenty-four years old. I believe child development is extremely important. I am gifted with the ability to understand children, allowing me to create a positive environment for the child and the sitter. I am from a small town outside of Albany, New York. Growing up in a small-knit community allowed connections to flourish. I started as a mother's helper at eight and I never looked back. I babysat for a variety of families with different parenting styles, nannied for three children, two of which from Russia, and tutored in a variety of subjects. I believe children do their best when creativity doesn't have boundaries. I base discipline on positive reinforcement. This technique works exponentially better than constant negative feedback. I have proven successful based on my longevity and retention rate with many families. I push for limited screen time and more hands-on activities Read more with a focus on being outside. By creating a safe, and effective environment, I give parents peace of mind and a place for children to be themselves.
