Dear parents, My name is Maja (pronounced Maya) and I'm originally from the Czech Republic. I just moved to Novato after living in San Francisco for the past 14 years. I'm a driver with a valid California DL and own a car with insurance up to date. I am a caring, responsible, trustworthy, patient, polite, positive, warm-hearted, fun, and outgoing person with a genuine love for working with children. I have experience caring for children of various ages and always strive to create a safe, fun, and nurturing environment where kids feel comfortable and supported. I enjoy engaging children in age-appropriate activities such as arts and crafts, reading, outdoor play, and educational games that encourage learning and creativity. I understand the importance of routines and am happy to help with meals, nap times, homework, and light household tasks related to childcare. I am reliable, punctual, and attentive to each child’s individual needs. Parents can trust me to communicate openly, follow instructions carefully, and treat their children with kindness and respect. My goal is to support families by providing dependable care while helping children grow, learn, and feel happy. Fully vaccinated.

Maja watched our very active 19-month-old while our nanny was out and was awesome. She clearly loves kids and our son took to her right away. We would love to work with her again!
