“Eridian was excellent with our 3.5 year old. We stayed in Russian River for a wedding and the two of them had so much. I would definitely use Eridian again anytime I’m in the area.”

Hi, I’m Kelly, and I would love to provide childcare for your family! I have over 10 years of childcare experience, including 6.5 years as a nanny for a family with two children. In that role, I supported their daily routines, helped with schoolwork, and built a warm, trusting relationship with both kids and their parents. Beyond babysitting and nannying, I've worked for 3.5 years at an after-school math and reading program, giving me experience with tutoring and working with kids in both group settings and one-on-one care. I love engaging children through hands-on crafts and games, and I'm passionate about helping kids feel secure, supported, and excited about their day. I'm CPR and First Aid certified and hold a certification from the Nanny Institute. Safety and well-being are always my top priorities, alongside creating a fun, nurturing environment for the children in my care. I look forward to meeting you and the opportunity to support your family!

"We were incredibly grateful that Maya was able to help us out with a last-minute childcare emergency. She matched our 9-year-old's energy with arts & crafts, some quiet reading, and a walk around the neighborhood. We'd have Maya back in a heartbeat!"
