Booked by 6 families in Glen Ellen, CA

Dual-Service Childcare & Household Professional! My name is Carly, and I’m equally passionate about caring for children as I am about creating a well-run, tidy home. I’m a Bay Area native and a single mother by choice to a wonderful 4-year-old daughter. After many years working in tech, I’ve returned to my roots in hands-on care, with previous experience as both a nanny and lifeguard. Supporting families in their homes is where I truly thrive. As a parent, I understand firsthand the mental load that comes with keeping a household running; meals, laundry, groceries, activities, organization, errands, and making sure the kids are happy and engaged. My goal is to step in, anticipate needs, and take meaningful tasks off your plate so your home and family life can run a little more smoothly. I approach my work from a safety-first angle, while also being dependable, proactive, and organized. I have sound judgment and value transparent communication. I bring warmth and attentiveness to childcare, along with a practical, thoughtful approach to household support. I’m currently accepting childcare-only roles, household support roles, or a combination of both, depending on the child(s) schedule. I have limited availability for recurring commitments, with greater flexibility for ad-hoc or occasional support. I’m happy to share my rates, résumé, and references. I look forward to connecting with families who could use an extra set of capable, caring hands!

"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!"
