About Me

My name is Maya Gerber

I grew up in the Texas hill country and have lived in Portland for almost 5 years now. I enjoy gardening, cooking, baking with my sourdough, herbal-ism, doing art projects, exploring nature, ice- dyeing, everything involving music- I love to sing, dance and fill my day with tunes, I love watching movies and staying cozy at home, but also fill my cup by going on road trips and adventuring out and about. I have a dog named Sprout who is a light of my life, and I am a huge animal lover. I have been working with children for about 5 years, after my first job in childcare I fell instantly in love with this work. I have worked as an infant/toddler teacher at The Nest Playschool for the past 3 years and counting. I enjoy soaking in the childlike wonder of all things and creating meaningful connections. Being organized is in my nature, and I thrive on lists ( which comes in handy in this line of work). I am a helper at heart and fit myself in where it's needed.
