🌁 Hi! I’m a native San Franciscan back after twenty years in Hawaii. I began my nannying career in Y2K, and have cared for little ones (newborns- 5 years) since then in San Francisco, Marin, and Maui. 🐣 Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of nurturing children from infancy through adolescence, including my goddaughter, who is aspirationally kind and thoughtful. 🩵 I bring an empathetic, warm, and grounded presence into the home, and always try to grow the giggles! I aim to create a safe, loving environment for children to feel confident, secure, and seen. 🎨 Trained in ballet, hula, acting, and visual arts, I love to encourage imagination and creative self-expression. 💬 With a background in public relations, I’m highly communicative, discreet, organized, and dependable. 🦺 My driver license, vaccination records (COVID x2/ MMR/ Tdap), and background checks (LiveScan, Checkr) are available upon request. ✈️ I'm able to travel with your family (USA Passport/ CLEAR/ TSA Pre-Check), and am available for overnights. 🌸 Please feel free to message me about availability, rates, or anything else; I can usually reply immediately. I look forward to connecting with your family! Aloha! **For the health and safety of all the children and families I work with, I’m unable to care for those actively sick with highly contagious illnesses such as HF&M, RSV, flu, pink eye, COVID, etc. Thank you for understanding.

Booked by 80 families in Sausalito, CA

Hi! I'm a graduate of the University of San Francisco. I'm originally from Georgia, but I have been living in the city for 8 years now. I’ve been babysitting children since I was 14 and have volunteered at several children camps over the years. I have experience with children from 4 months to 13 years old. I’ve been working full-time in childcare for the past four years. Along with childcare, I have experience in management, retail, assistant, and food service work. I have also been driving for 9+ years with a clean record. I love children because they're full of energy and always have fun/unique perspectives on everything. I consider myself an active, caring, and energetic person. In my free time, I enjoy reading, hiking, and art!

“Mauri was so kind and thoughtful with my toddler, navigating his opinions and routines smoothly - would recommend!”

"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!"
