Hi! I am a recent Stanford grad searching for some side work during this transitionary period. I love kids and teaching them! I actually started a Sprout Up chapter at Stanford where we taught 1st and 2nd graders environmental education. While being director and a teacher at various elementary schools in the bay, I also babysat with Otter during my undergrad. I am also the eldest of four, so I have ample experience being a caregiver. I love doing low-tech activities such as playing outdoor games and crafts. I can cook, bake, and clean! I do not have a personal car in the bay, but I can have transportation to and from your place. If driving is needed, I can use your car as I am a well experienced and safe driver.
We couldn't recommend Mariel more highly! She is incredibly punctual, dependable, and caring, and from day one we felt completely comfortable leaving our children in her care. One of the biggest bonuses is that she speaks Spanish, which has been such a wonderful opportunity for our kids (6 yo and 8 yo) to continue practicing and maintaining their Spanish in a natural, everyday setting. She always keeps the kids engaged with fun activities, whether it's going on walks, playing games, or finding creative ways to keep them entertained. She is also very tidy and always leaves our home clean and organized. Most importantly, our children absolutely love spending time with her and are always excited when she comes over. She is simply the best, and any family would be lucky to have her!
