Hello, I'm Mariela. I'm originally from New York, but I have recently made San Diego my new home. I am thrilled to offer my services in child care. I have been actively involved in babysitting, caring for newborns, infants, and toddlers since a very young age. I have four nieces and nephews, whose lives and care I've been actively involved in. I have a strong background in marketing and writing, which has honed my communication skills. It has allowed me to connect with children of all ages effectively. Whether it's engaging in imaginative play, helping with homework, or fostering their creative talents, I strive to provide a nurturing and stimulating experience for every child in my care. As a responsible and dependable caregiver, I prioritize safety above all else. I understand the importance of maintaining a secure environment. I value open communication with parents and believe in building a strong partnership to ensure the best care for your child.
