Dear parents, My name is Maja (pronounced Maya) and I'm originally from the Czech Republic. I just moved to Novato after living in San Francisco for the past 14 years. I'm a driver with a valid California DL and own a car with insurance up to date. I am a caring, responsible, trustworthy, patient, polite, positive, warm-hearted, fun, and outgoing person with a genuine love for working with children. I have experience caring for children of various ages and always strive to create a safe, fun, and nurturing environment where kids feel comfortable and supported. I enjoy engaging children in age-appropriate activities such as arts and crafts, reading, outdoor play, and educational games that encourage learning and creativity. I understand the importance of routines and am happy to help with meals, nap times, homework, and light household tasks related to childcare. I am reliable, punctual, and attentive to each child’s individual needs. Parents can trust me to communicate openly, follow instructions carefully, and treat their children with kindness and respect. My goal is to support families by providing dependable care while helping children grow, learn, and feel happy. Fully vaccinated.

“Very thoughtful, communicative, and proactive. She babysat from our hotel room, but took him out to a park nearby. Appreciated her care on a long weekend! If/when we come back to Santa Rosa we will book again!”

Hello, my name is Luz! :) I graduated from the University of California, Berkeley with a major in Psychology, a minor in Early Development and Learning Science, and a Certificate in Business. My experience working with children began in 2014 when I started as a Teacher’s Aide at the YMCA. In 2016, I joined UrbanSitter and had the joy of babysitting for more than 50 wonderful families throughout the Bay Area while also holding various part-time childcare positions through the end of 2020. At the beginning of 2021, I earned my Behavior Technician certification and worked at Cortica as a Behavior Interventionist with children with Autism and other neurodevelopmental differences — an incredibly rewarding experience. During my time at UC Berkeley, I also worked as a Research Assistant in a developmental psychology lab, which deepened my love for understanding how children learn and grow. I’m licensed, and have a safe, reliable car. I speak English and Spanish fluently and am known for being patient, responsible, and genuinely caring. I love engaging with kids - whether that means creative play, outdoor activities, or helping with learning. In my spare time, I enjoy listening to psychology podcasts, personal finance audiobooks, and spending time outdoors hiking nearby trails. While away from UrbanSitter for a bit now, I’ve kept babysitting my younger sister (8 y.o now) and created a wedding planning business. I truly loved connecting with families and caring for their little ones - it was always such a rewarding part of my life and I can’t wait to feel that again! POLICIES Payment: Because I plan my time and budget around booked hours, I ask to be paid for the full booking, even if plans change or you return earlier than expected. Late Returns: I’m usually flexible with end times, but please text or call if you’ll be running late. I sometimes book jobs back-to-back, and communication helps me stay on schedule. Looking forward to meeting you & your little one(s)!
