About Mariela

Experience: 8 yrs

Hi! I'm Mariela, a 26-year-old Bay Area native and current UC Berkeley Master of Social Welfare student pursuing a career as a child and family therapist. I have degrees in Psychology and Design from UC Davis and 8+ years of experience working with children and adolescents, including nannying, preschool teaching, ABA support, and adolescent mentoring. I've cared for infants as young as 3 months through school-age children and am very comfortable with multiple children and different developmental needs. I'm energetic, creative, patient, and love providing hands-on care. I enjoy creating fun, enriching days through arts and crafts, storytelling, books, museums, playgrounds, music classes, animal farms, and local adventures. I'm also happy to help with meals, laundry, errands, school pickups, etc. I value clear communication with parents and send regular updates and photos. I'm bilingual in English and Spanish, have a clean driving record, and drive a reliable 2021 Subaru Crosstrek.

Mariela was such a big help to our family for over a year until we moved. She took great care of my three kids, picking them up from school, driving them to their activities, and staying with them until dinner and occasionally put them to bed. She also helped with things like meal prep, laundry, and grocery shopping. She was always creative and kept the kids busy with fun activities. She's also a great artist and singer, which the kids loved! They really enjoyed spending time with her, and she made our days so much easier. We were lucky to have her!
