Booked by 3 families in Ross, 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.”

$33 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Ross, CA

Hi! My name is Kaelin. I was born and raised in Marin County. I come from a family of five children and have been providing childcare for 12 years. I have experience caring for children of all ages, from newborns to high school students. I’m kind, patient, reliable, and enjoy creating fun, age-appropriate activities while maintaining a calm and safe environment. I’ve worked as a nanny, helping with homework, driving to and from after-school activities, preparing meals, and assisting with light household tasks. Growing up in a large family taught me how to adapt easily, communicate well, and always lend a helping hand. I am currently an English teacher, which has strengthened my communication skills, patience, and ability to support children’s learning and development. I’m very passionate about providing a safe, supportive, and engaging environment for children. I’d love to connect and see if I’d be a good fit for your family. I’m also comfortable with all animals.

"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!"
