Hi, I'm Marci! I bring nurture, patience, reliability, and a fun-loving demeanor. I enjoy going for walks, organizational projects, spending time with family, and exploring the city. Here to lighten your day-to-day load as an added extension of your family. I welcome collaboration, open communication, and friendly demeanors of all. I enjoy being a nanny knowing that I am helping foster environments and routines for families. Building connections with guardians and children that last past the job bring me a sense of joy. I've been fortunate to be able to build trust and provide quality care as professional nanny for more than 5 years. Although I've cared for children from infant to teen, my care of focus has centered around children under 2-years old. I'm versed in infant care; helping to create and incorporate consistent routines for sleep, feeding, changing, and development. Children thrive in my care because of my patience, attentiveness, and firm, but gentle boundaries. I create opportunities for little/big personalities to blossom with a sense of curiosity, confidence, and independence. Basic care needs pertaining to child(ren) are provided in a safe and proactive manner. Spaces used are maintained. All activites are incorporated and encouraged from educational activities, storytime, sensory play, arts & crafts, games, imaginative play, outdoor fun, and homework help. I'm allergic to cats. I look forward to collaborating working with your family! References available at request.
“Marci was amazing with our 4 year old and 1 year old. Very attentive, caring and kind. Our kids had a great time. ”
Hi - My name is Tobia and I'm currently caregiving part-time for my great aunt. I am offering child care, senior care, and household services. I'm the youngest of four girls and I have a combined count of 35 nieces and nephews including great and great greats lol. So I definitely have a lot of experience babysitting and have been watching newborns, infants, toddlers, and kids since I was 15 years old. My responsibilities have included driving to/from school, crafts, tutoring, and extra curricular activities. Being a caregiver allows me to thrive in my personality. I have a huge heart, I'm kind, caring, compassionate, reliable, trust worthy, patient, and attentive. I'm also tidy, organized, detailed oriented and possess time management. I cook, clean, run errands, and assist in other areas as needed. I was the primary caretaker for my mom who battled dementia, for over 10 years, so I am very comfortable with senior care. I offer medication reminders, meal prep, bathing and assistance with personal needs, drive to appointments, and perform other tasks as needed. I have 3 dogs of my own, who are my world. I am allergic to cats but happy to work with families with dogs.
Each child is a unique gift, and as a doula and aspiring youth pastor, I feel called to support them in their growth and development.

I have experience working with children ages 2 months to 12 years old and love engaging kids through creative activities, homework help, outdoor play, and more. I'm available for both regular care and occasional sitting and bring patience, enthusiasm, and a genuine commitment to supporting both children and their families.
