Hello Parents, I am originally from Guatemala, and I have been living in Marin County for 11 years. Currently, I work in Good Earth for 10 years during the mornings , and I am looking for a part-time job on Tuesdays and Saturdays. I worked as a personal assistant at Blanca Thompson Notary and Tax Office. I worked for her for 5 years during Tax season. I am dedicated, trustworthy, and compassionate nanny and Family Assistant with a strong commitment to creating a safe, nurturing, and organized home environment. Supporting busy families with daily household management, scheduling, meal preparation, errands, organization, and maintaining smooth household routines. Known for being dependable, proactive, adaptable, and a calm, positive attitude. Passionate about fostering children's growth and development while helping families balance their daily lives with confidence and ease.
I am a compassionate and dependable caregiver with one year of hands-on experience working with children with disabilities. As a Registered Behavioral Technician (RBT), I am trained in implementing behavior intervention plans, supporting skill development, and creating structured, positive environments that help children thrive. My background has taught me patience, adaptability, and the importance of individualized care. I have experience working closely with families, therapists, and other professionals to ensure consistent support and progress. Through my work, I’ve developed strong communication skills, the ability to remain calm under pressure, and a deep understanding of behavior management strategies. I am attentive, organized, and committed to maintaining a safe and nurturing environment. In addition to working with children, I am comfortable assisting with light household tasks to help families maintain a smooth daily routine. My goal as a caregiver is always to provide support that promotes independence, confidence, and overall well-being.

Hello, my name is Darcy! As the eldest sibling and cousin in my family, caring for children has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I began babysitting at age 12 and have spent many years supporting children of all ages through both childcare and professional work. For the past 10 years, I have worked as a board-certified music therapist, helping children grow, learn, communicate, and build confidence in a variety of settings. I am also currently completing a graduate degree in Counseling Psychology, which has further strengthened my understanding of child development and emotional well-being. I have been described by the families I have worked with as a fun, creative, and energetic caregiver who loves arts and crafts, music, imaginative play, baking, games, and outdoor adventures. I enjoy finding activities that match each child's unique interests and needs, helping them be active, supported, and excited to learn and explore. My goal is to create a safe, nurturing, and fun environment where children feel engaged and parents feel confident that their children are in good hands. Please feel free to reach out and let me know how I can support your family!
Hello! My name is Maya, and I am grateful for the opportunity to be considered to work with your family. I am 24 years old and have been caring for children since my teenage years, with over three years of professional experience. Since 2022, I have worked at a camp serving children with serious medical conditions, where I have developed strong caregiving, communication, and safety-focused skills. I am comfortable working with children of all ages but have a soft spot for infants and toddlers. I currently live in Marin, hold a bachelor’s degree in public health, and am working toward a career in the healthcare field. I hold a valid driver's license and own a car. Additionally, I have worked as a lifeguard for the past five years and am certified in CPR/First Aid.
