Mariana
Hi! My name is Mariana, and I’m currently a college student. I have a strong passion for working with children and creating a safe, fun, and caring environment for them. I have hands-on childcare experience, including caring for multiple children at once. I’ve helped look after both infants and older kids, so I’m comfortable with tasks like feeding, diaper changes, nap routines, and keeping children engaged in age-appropriate activities. I’ve also had experience teaching and guiding my younger niece when she was little, which helped me develop patience, communication skills, and creativity when working with kids. I enjoy doing activities like reading, playing games, arts and crafts, and helping children learn through fun experiences. My goal is always to make sure children feel safe, happy, and supported while in my care.

Nicole
Hi! My name is Nicole and I currently work as a Special Education Instructional Aide with elementary-aged students in LBUSD. I have experience supporting children with different learning styles, behavioral needs, and communication needs in both classroom and childcare settings. I enjoy creating a safe, calm, and engaging environment where kids can feel comfortable, supported, and have fun. I’m especially experienced with school-aged children, routines, transitions, emotional regulation support, homework help, and keeping children engaged in positive activities. As a mom myself, I understand how important it is to find someone trustworthy, patient, and dependable to care for your children. I’m looking forward to helping families with babysitting, summer care, occasional care, and structured support as needed. I’m comfortable caring for multiple children and have experience with neurodivergent children, including autism and ADHD support. I am also CPI (Nonviolent Crisis Intervention) trained and experienced using calm, supportive de-escalation strategies when children need extra emotional or behavioral support.

I’m dependable, creative, and good at building positive connections with kids, which helps me provide both structure and fun in their daily routine.

I have over 10 years of experience providing childcare for families, friends, and coworkers. During this time, I have cared for children ranging from toddlers to school-aged kids, managing up to four children at a time. I am well-versed in creating a safe and engaging environment, handling meal prep, bedtime routines, and educational activities tailored to different ages. Additionally, I worked at my gym’s daycare center for 3 years, where I cared for multiple children in a structured setting, ensuring their safety and providing enriching activities. My experience has taught me patience, adaptability, and the importance of clear communication with parents.
