Hey Families! Are you in need of a nurturing, fun and loving caregiver? Look no more! My name is Marisol, a 29 year old nature, sports, arts & crafts, and plant enthusiast who is the oldest of 20 grandchildren. Being the oldest of 20 grandchildren, has not only allowed me to have a love for caring for children but has allowed me to understand the importance in having a memorable time as a child, unconditionally cared for, and guided to becoming their most loved self. I have assisted with four different families for one to three years each as well. I am looking for the opportunity to help a new set of parents with the care of their children. Date nights, daily help or emergencies, do not hesitate to reach out! If you have any pets that’s no problem! I am a mama bear of a few pets myself and at the end of the day they are apart of the family! Looking forward to chatting soon about any potential arrangements!

As a childcare provider I offer Experience and enthusiasm. More about me: Since 2020 I have provided quality care to 12 families and 19 children ranging in age from 3 months to 11 years. I usually work with two families at a time, one in the morning and one in the afternoon. I am currently looking for a new morning position, as I am fully booked on weekday afternoons. I am professional, consistent, reliable, dynamic and simultaneously fun/silly. In addition to keeping your children happy and safe my goal is to ease as many household burdens as possible before you get home.

“Anna Kate has been working with us over the past 3 months as our nanny for our 2.5 year old daughter. Anna Kate is caring and conscientious in her care for our daughter and flexible in adjusting her approach to our particular preferences. She is also someone who we find cautious and trustworthy with respect to limiting risk of exposure to Covid-19. She is open with us about her exposures and was mindful of our safety. Anna Kate is invested in our daughters growth and development, working with her to teach her many new things and take her on outdoor adventures to the playground, dog park, kids space museum, parks, library, etc. Anna Kate encourages her to do arts and crafts, painting, chalk, water play, neighborhood walks, story time and music. We enjoy having Anna Kate care for our daughter. She is very helpful around the house and assists with grocery lists/shopping, cooking, laundry, dishes, organizing and cleaning. ”

With over 16 years of childcare experience, I bring a wealth of expertise to every family I work with. As a dedicated nanny for multiple years, I've had the pleasure of nurturing children from various backgrounds and ages, fostering their growth and development in safe and loving environments. My experience extends to providing overnight care, ensuring both the children and parents feel confident and secure. Beyond traditional childcare roles, I've spent 5 years as a children's party entertainer, embodying multiple well-known princesses, superheroes, and other characters. This experience has equipped me with creative and engaging activities to spark joy and imagination in every child. Additionally, I am a passionate private lessons teacher for voice and piano, having taught numerous children and witnessing their musical talents blossom. My background as a summer camp counselor and tutoring experience further enriches my ability to connect with and inspire young minds. I excel at engaging children through crafts, imagination play, and music, while also offering homework help to support their academic journey. I also have experience with a variety of pets, including dogs, cats, rabbits, birds, and more. I am committed to providing exceptional care and support to your family, creating meaningful and memorable experiences for your children.

I am enthusiastic, genuine, caring, and most importantly, I have a positive mindset which I apply to everything I do. All of my previous work and volunteer experience involved working with children ranging from 0-11 years olds however I am a quick learner and looking to expand my knowledge and learn more through new opportunities. I understand the impact that genuine relationships and positive interactions can have on children and how it shapes their perception of the world around them. Through working with children, I would like to make as much of a positive impact as I am able to!
