Questions families usually ask
If something isn't here, just call or send a message — I'm happy to answer.
What areas do you serve?
I work with families across Marin and Sonoma County: Novato, San Rafael, Terra Linda, San Anselmo, Kentfield, Greenbrae, Corte Madera and Petaluma. Nearby locations may be considered depending on the schedule and distance.
What ages of children do you care for?
I care for children from 4 months old through age 5: babies, toddlers and preschoolers. That covers feeding and naps for infants, daily routines and play-based learning for toddlers, and gentle school-readiness activities for preschoolers.
Do you offer full-time nanny services?
Yes. I am booking a full-time nanny position starting January 2027: 35 to 45 hours per week, with flexible days from Monday to Sunday, for families looking for reliable, long-term childcare. Weekends and overnight care are available when needed.
Do you offer part-time or occasional care?
Yes. I consider recurring part-time schedules as well as occasional babysitting for appointments, errands, events and personal time, when my calendar allows.
Do you offer date-night babysitting?
Yes, on weekday evenings after 5:30 pm and on weekends, depending on availability. The live calendar on the home page shows which days are open.
Do you offer overnight care?
Yes. I stay at your home overnight, follow your children's bedtime routines, handle night feedings, and give everyone a calm start in the morning, so you can enjoy a night out or a short trip with peace of mind.
What is your rate?
Rates depend on the number of children, their ages, the schedule, evening or weekend hours, transportation and any additional responsibilities. Contact me with your family's needs and I will give you a price that fits them.
Are you CPR and First Aid certified?
Yes. I hold a current Pediatric First Aid and CPR AED certification, valid through 2028, and I renew it every two years. I am also trained as a Child Abuse and Neglect Mandated Reporter through the California Department of Social Services, fully vaccinated, and background-checked.
What is your training and background?
I hold a bachelor's degree in Early Childhood Education, worked four years as a preschool teacher, and have professional daycare experience in Marin County. I have also completed coursework in child psychology and continuing training in play-based learning.
Do you provide transportation?
Yes. I have a valid driver's license and a clean driving record, so school or activity drop-offs and pick-ups, park trips and errands can be part of the arrangement when agreed upon.
Do you speak Spanish?
Yes, I am bilingual in English and Spanish. If your family would like it, I bring playful everyday Spanish into the day through songs, counting and simple words, so your child picks it up naturally.
What activities do you provide?
Activities are adapted to each child's age and interests and may include reading, arts and crafts, outdoor play, park trips, songs, creative activities, games and learning through play.
Can we meet before hiring?
Absolutely. I encourage families to have a conversation before beginning childcare so we can discuss expectations, routines and whether we are a good fit for each other.
How do I get started?
Complete the contact form with information about your family and childcare needs, or call or text me directly. I will review your request and get back to you regarding availability and a rate.
