Booked by 10 families in Daly City, CA

Hello! My name is Marisol and I am currently a full-time Community Health Outreach Worker in SFUSD. I have a Bachelor’s of Art degree in Social Welfare from the University of California, Berkeley along with a minor in Gender and Women’s studies. I hope to one day become a social worker and continue working within SFUSD, serving the communities I love! Due to my daytime job, I am only seeking occasional jobs during evenings or on weekends. I have about 10 years of experience working with children in different settings. I began by caring for my own family members while in high school, and with time, branched out to other families within the Bay Area. Over summers, I work as a kindergarten teacher at a day camp where I lesson plan daily for a group of about 15 6-7 year olds. I really enjoy doing arts & crafts, academic support, and assisting youth in exploring their interests. Some of my past responsibilities as a babysitter/nanny have included pick-up/drop-off, going out to local activities, bedtime routines, and light tidying. I am also open to helping run errands! Please feel free to reach out with any questions or just to connect!

“Marisol was attentive and patient with my 19 month old! Would recommend. She even folded clothes and tidied while our little one was napping. ”

Booked by 11 families in Daly City, CA

I’m a caring, patient, and dependable mother of two with hands-on childcare experience, including nannying and over three years of volunteering with children through my church’s children’s ministry, a Christian school, and USF children’s programs. I’m CPR certified and have also completed an EMT course, which provided me with foundational knowledge of emergency response and basic medical care. Children’s safety and well-being are always my top priorities. As both a mother and caregiver, I understand how important it is for parents to find someone they can genuinely trust. I’m attentive, responsible, organized, and committed to creating a safe, nurturing, and positive environment where children feel comfortable and cared for. I enjoy engaging children in age-appropriate activities, including creative play, reading, outdoor activities, and educational games. I’m also comfortable assisting with meals, homework, school routines, and light housekeeping related to the children. I believe in building positive relationships with both children and parents through patience, communication, and consistency. I’m currently seeking part-time nannying and babysitting opportunities where I can provide dependable, loving care and build lasting relationships with families.

“So warm and responsible! ”

"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!"
