I’m Maia, a PhD candidate in Psychological Anthropology with nearly a decade of experience teaching and caring for children. While I’m finalizing my thesis and studying German, I’m seeking a meaningful part-time role (15-25 hours/week) with children aged 2-10. I’m here to offer warm, developmentally-informed support in childcare and education for families seeking an English-speaking carer/educator.

What I Bring to Your Family
Educational Foundation:
🔵 Bachelor’s in Psychology
🔵 Master’s in Applied Social Psychology
🔵 PhD candidate in Psychological Anthropology
🔵 Nearly 10 years of teaching experience with international students

Hands-On Experience:
🔵 Actively involved in raising three nephews and a niece
🔵 Administered developmental assessments for children ages 2-7
🔵 Taught psychology to diverse age groups, from school students to master’s students, adapting complex concepts to different developmental stages
🔵 Created engaging, age-appropriate learning experiences

I’m looking for families who:
⚪ Value authentic, warm relationships and child-centered, developmentally appropriate approaches
⚪ Care about forming secure emotional connections with their children
⚪ Take both mental and physical health seriously
⚪ Seek education rooted in empathy, curiosity, and critical thinking
⚪ Provide unconditional acceptance to their children instead of grounding their self-worth on achievements
⚪ Understand children thrive when they’re given both structure and free exploration opportunities
⚪ Understand that what children need for successful language acquisition is not necessarily a perfect native speaker, but rich linguistic input from meaningful interactions and a variety of sources.
