Booked by 18 families in Glendale, CA

Hey Families! Are you in need of a nurturing, fun and loving caregiver? Look no more! My name is Marisol, a 29 year old nature, sports, arts & crafts, and plant enthusiast who is the oldest of 20 grandchildren. Being the oldest of 20 grandchildren, has not only allowed me to have a love for caring for children but has allowed me to understand the importance in having a memorable time as a child, unconditionally cared for, and guided to becoming their most loved self. I have assisted with four different families for one to three years each as well. I am looking for the opportunity to help a new set of parents with the care of their children. Date nights, daily help or emergencies, do not hesitate to reach out! If you have any pets that’s no problem! I am a mama bear of a few pets myself and at the end of the day they are apart of the family! Looking forward to chatting soon about any potential arrangements!

I am enthusiastic, genuine, caring, and most importantly, I have a positive mindset which I apply to everything I do. All of my previous work and volunteer experience involved working with children ranging from 0-11 years olds however I am a quick learner and looking to expand my knowledge and learn more through new opportunities. I understand the impact that genuine relationships and positive interactions can have on children and how it shapes their perception of the world around them. Through working with children, I would like to make as much of a positive impact as I am able to!

As a childcare provider I offer Experience and enthusiasm. More about me: Since 2020 I have provided quality care to 12 families and 19 children ranging in age from 3 months to 11 years. I usually work with two families at a time, one in the morning and one in the afternoon. I am currently looking for a new morning position, as I am fully booked on weekday afternoons. I am professional, consistent, reliable, dynamic and simultaneously fun/silly. In addition to keeping your children happy and safe my goal is to ease as many household burdens as possible before you get home.

“Anna Kate has been working with us over the past 3 months as our nanny for our 2.5 year old daughter. Anna Kate is caring and conscientious in her care for our daughter and flexible in adjusting her approach to our particular preferences. She is also someone who we find cautious and trustworthy with respect to limiting risk of exposure to Covid-19. She is open with us about her exposures and was mindful of our safety. Anna Kate is invested in our daughters growth and development, working with her to teach her many new things and take her on outdoor adventures to the playground, dog park, kids space museum, parks, library, etc. Anna Kate encourages her to do arts and crafts, painting, chalk, water play, neighborhood walks, story time and music. We enjoy having Anna Kate care for our daughter. She is very helpful around the house and assists with grocery lists/shopping, cooking, laundry, dishes, organizing and cleaning. ”

"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!"
