Booked by 3 families in Corte Madera, CA

Hi, I’m Maral. I bring over a decade of experience working inside private homes in high-trust roles — supporting families, founders, and executives as a House Manager, Personal Assistant, and childcare provider. When I step into a home, I offer more than supervision. I provide a calm, steady adult presence who can confidently step in as needed — maintaining structure, setting clear expectations, helping with routines, and ensuring children feel secure and supported. My background in household management means punctuality, discretion, strong judgment, and proactive communication are second nature. I understand how much mental load families carry, and I naturally look for ways to create ease and flow within the home. I’m composed under pressure, thoughtful in my decision-making, and warm without being permissive. Parents can step away knowing their home and children are in capable hands. I’m also comfortable in pet-friendly homes and have prior experience in professional dog handling and training. Professional resume and reference sheets available for both childcare and House Manager/PA roles upon request.

Maral was fantastic—we’d absolutely book her again. She was punctual, warm, and immediately connected with the kids, which made leaving the house feel easy. She kept them engaged with activities and handled dinner and bedtime smoothly. What stood out most was how attentive and calm she was. The kids clearly felt comfortable with her, and the house was in great shape when we got back. Highly recommend to any family looking for a reliable and caring sitter.

Greetings, my name is Madisen. I am Currently a College Of Marin student majoring in Business. I recently took a class in Psychology for child and development and instantly fell in love with the class. I learned a lot when it comes to the development of children overtime as well as the importance of child psychology. My experience working with children began in 2017 when I decided to baby-sit many families kids in the Bay Area. I also worked at a daycare in 2020 for many months to gain more experience in taking care of kids from ages 4 to 13. I really enjoyed being in such a wonderful environment and working with kids. Furthermore, I am licensed and have a reliable car. I speak both English and Spanish fluently , I am also very responsible, patient and creative but best of all I love playing with children! A little bit about myself is that in my spare time I like to play soccer, bake, and spend time with my family. Thank you so much for taking the time to read this letter. I look forward in hearing from you and getting to know your kiddos!

Kids had a great time with Madisen. Will for sure have her back.

Hi, my name is Zaahirah and I’m currently going to College of Marin. I am offering childcare and household services. I enjoy babysitting infants, toddlers and children. I have since I was 16. I also taught preschool at the little school in Mill Valley full time as a substitute. I also like to cook and bake.

I reached out to Zaahirah super last minute, and she came through perfectly! She arrived right on time and handled a lot of moving parts with ease. She kept everything running smoothly, was flexible when I needed her to stay later than planned, and made the whole evening stress-free. I’m so grateful for her help and would absolutely recommend her to other families!

Darcy Corte Madera
$32 per hour for 1 child

Hello, my name is Darcy! As the eldest sibling and cousin in my family, caring for children has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I began babysitting at age 12 and have spent many years supporting children of all ages through both childcare and professional work. For the past 10 years, I have worked as a board-certified music therapist, helping children grow, learn, communicate, and build confidence in a variety of settings. I am also currently completing a graduate degree in Counseling Psychology, which has further strengthened my understanding of child development and emotional well-being. I have been described by the families I have worked with as a fun, creative, and energetic caregiver who loves arts and crafts, music, imaginative play, baking, games, and outdoor adventures. I enjoy finding activities that match each child's unique interests and needs, helping them be active, supported, and excited to learn and explore. My goal is to create a safe, nurturing, and fun environment where children feel engaged and parents feel confident that their children are in good hands. Please feel free to reach out and let me know how I can support your family!
