I’m a fun-loving, responsible, punctual, dependable, trustworthy, conscientious adult who enjoys arts & crafts, singing, reading stories, & creative stimulation. In addition to my years as a professional nanny, I am also a tutor and certified as a substitute teacher. A proud college graduate, with a BA in psychology, including units in both early childhood education/childhood development.

Response will be in 1 hour thanks I am available for part time mornings Min-Fri as a family I’ve been with for a year in the mornings has received a career opportunity in Europe. They will give me a as a family I’ve been with for a year in the mornings has received a career opportunity in Europe. They will give me an excellent reference, of course. I look forward to meeting you all, thank you! Extensive experience as a nanny ( 13 years not all of my experience is listed on here, excellent references) Educator / Scholar ( currently attending) Parent (2 college kids) Currently holding all five star reviews from past and present clients through this platform. As a nanny I’m passionate about helping parents build up great kids. I’m currently taking online classes and will continue toward completion of my degree in Early Childhood Development and Psychology. I homeschooled both of my children until 1st grade ( both in college) Homeschooling is about planning, strategy and creativity. I consider myself a career nanny. In the last five years, I have regained experience in newborn , infants and toddlers ( this includes working with siblings and nanny share as well ) my calm, nurturing manner is reassuring to babies , children and parents alike. I feel that to be a a great nanny , you must have it in your heart . The character traits of patience, kindness, boundaries, empathy, compassion, calmness, acceptance, positive reinforcement, creativity, playfulness are all part of who I am. I am specialized in the areas of sleep training, routine establishment, developmental play and excellent soothing techniques. I also am very skilled in making baby food from scratch for high nutrition and health. I accept per diem work with toddlers / school age children and focus on teaching them breath work to calm themselves ( if an emotional outburst occurs) It is very common as they have many feelings and don’t always know what words to use to express it , this includes self regulation and choices including Baby Signing which encourages them to communicate well and become verbal communicators earlier. I have many other specialized skills to offer. In my free time I enjoy spending time with my family, cooking reading, dancing ( with my husband) sports like tennis, swimming, pickle ball, fast walking, and yoga for fitness. I believe that the secret to a happy life comes from having a deeply grateful heart.

“We had a positive experience with Ms Mari. I loved how she cared about safety. She even shared some tips and tricks with me which I loved. She was energetic with our active 1 year old and when he slept she even helped me around the house. I would hire her again! Thanks, Mari! ”

Booked by 15 families in San Bruno, CA

Hi! My name is Danielle and I am currently a medical student at UCSF. I love to cook, bake, and find these two things are most enjoyable when I am hosting friends or serving. I have spent the past two years babysitting for various families through my church occasionally and for different events. I am firm with children while I also try my best to understand what it is like to have big emotions in such a small body. I find babysitting to be so joyous and I learn so much from each toddler, child, pre-teen, and teenager with whom I am privileged to interact. I understand that babysitting is an act of trust from the parents and their children and I do not take it lightly. I work hard to establish relationships with each child I babysit. I do not have any allergies and I have also dog sat for families.
