“Mayra was our daughter's nanny for 1 year (6-18 months of age) and we had a wonderful experience. We met Mayra during the thick of the pandemic and we could not have had a better partner. Our daughter, my wife and i love Mayra and it was with a very heavy heart that we parted ways when we determined that our daughter needed to go to daycare/school. Mayra was always extremely careful and loving with our daughter and we always felt she was in great hands. She formed a very especial bond with our daughter and always stimulated her physically and intellectually. Our daughter easily completed all of the age-appropriate transitions with Mayra's help. They read, played, went to the park, and did arts and crafts. Mayra also cooked frequently for our daughter and fed her healthy and balanced meals. Our daughter was always happy to see Mayra. She has a wonderfully calm demeanor that helped our daughter be calm most of the times. When our daughter slept Mayra helped us with our baby's laundry and folding clothes. We have met other nannies and Mayra definitely stands out. From a personality perspective, Mayra is very discreet, easy going and a pleasure to be around. We highly recommend her.”
I’m a recent UC Berkeley graduate, 22 years old, with a B.A. in English Literature, and I still live in Berkeley. I’ve grown up in a care-oriented, family-centered household with three younger brothers, and helping to raise them has been a central part of my life. From feeding, dressing, and managing bedtime routines to helping with homework and keeping them entertained, I’ve learned firsthand how to balance responsibility, patience, and fun. That lifelong experience, combined with babysitting for other families, has given me a strong foundation in childcare and a deep appreciation for creating nurturing, safe, and engaging environments for children of all ages. I love being active and outdoors, so I enjoy hiking, running, and exploring new spaces with kids, as well as quiet time reading or telling stories to spark creativity and imagination. Growing up in a busy, caring household has taught me empathy, adaptability, and problem-solving. These are skills that I bring to every family or parent that I work with. I’m comfortable helping with light household tasks, meal prep, homework, and daily routines while keeping children happy, safe, and stimulated. I’m happy to babysit anywhere in the Bay Area and am excited to bring my experience, energy, and love of caregiving to new families. I take pride in building trust with both parents and children and creating a positive, supportive environment where kids can learn, play, and feel cared for.

I am currently available for occasional babysitting after late afternoons and weekends as well. Don't hesitate to reach out and we can see if your kiddo and I are a good fit!!
