Hello! My name is Maya, and I am looking for occasional/part-time babysitting opportunities while I am living in the Wilmington area. I am passionate about working with children and their families, which is why I love being a sitter. I truly enjoy creating supportive and nurturing environments where children can thrive emotionally and socially. My experience in this area comes from my recently completed education as a psychology student specializing in Child Life at Utica University, where I have gained the skills to help children navigate challenging situations with resilience and confidence. I have hands-on experience in various therapeutic and educational settings, including my role as a Teacher's Aide at a preschool, where I supported the developmental needs of preschool-aged children. Additionally, I have served as a Senior Counselor at a summer camp, where I oversaw the emotional and physical safety of campers while fostering positive experiences. I also have Read more experience working with underserved and special-needs youth as a Program Facilitator at a YMCA Camp, where I emphasized inclusion and tailored support. These roles have equipped me with vital skills in behavior management, therapeutic play techniques, and effective communication with children and families. I am committed to enhancing my expertise through continuous learning, and I maintain certifications in CPR, First Aid, and Trauma-Informed Care to ensure I provide a safe environment for all children. My coursework, practical training, and volunteer work, particularly my recent Child Life Practicum, have solidified my understanding of pediatric psychosocial care. I am eager to bring my compassionate approach, strong communication skills, and background in developmental theory to support families and help children flourish during playtime and beyond.
