👋 Hi! My name is Margarita Garcia, but you can call me Maggie. I'm the oldest of eight, and I had the honor of helping raise my seven younger siblings. Caring for kids has been part of my life for as long as I can remember. 🧸 I've always helped with my nieces, and I nannied for years, including all through high school and college.
When I'm with your kids, I'm fully present. My phone stays away unless you'd like updates, and then I'm happy to send them. I get to know each child, help them learn and grow, and make sure they're having fun. Hide-and-seek, reading, dinosaurs: I'm in! 🦖 Spiders are my one weakness, but I'll be brave for your kids. 🕷️ I'm even getting back in shape so I can jump on the trampoline with them again.
I'm easygoing, always smiling, and genuinely happy. I've really missed having kids around, and babysitting is calling me back. I'm alert, responsible, respectful, comfortable with infants, and used to looking after several kids at once.
I have a bachelor's degree in business marketing, run a business I started myself, and I'm saving for law school. I've volunteered with Reading Partners 📚 and tutored kids, including helping them learn to read. I'm part of the Rotary Club of Peninsula Starlight, where I was the communication and logistics chair, and I'm on the board of Belmont Boosters. I was also student body president at College of San Mateo. Service above self is how I live.
I'm very flexible and always happy to help with last-minute requests. Message me anytime, day or night, and I'll do everything I can to make it work. 📱 One heads-up: I prefer not to drive, so I'm best for care at home, though I can drive your car if you need me to.
My profile is new, so there are no reviews yet, but I'm excited to earn my first. I'm not just a sitter for the night. I build real relationships with families, and I'd love to meet you and your little ones! 👋
Since I am new to the urbansitter, I will offer my services to the first three families for free.
