$33 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in San Quentin, 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!"
