About Mara

Experience: 14 yrs

Hi families! My name is Mara, and I bring over 14 years of babysitting and nanny experience caring for children of all ages, from infants to preteens. For me, childcare is a passion. I'm nurturing, patient, and fun. Whether helping with homework, creating engaging activities, or supporting daily routines. With my background as a nutritionist and yoga teacher, I bring calm energy, creativity, and healthy habits into my caregiving style. I'm CPR/First Aid certified, have reliable transportation, and speak English with some proficiency in Portuguese and Spanish. I'm also comfortable with pets and can care for multiple children at once. My goal is always to keep children safe, happy, and growing while giving parents peace of mind.

Mara cared for our daughter from the time she was about 1 until she turned 3. She watched her part-time and helped with everything from meals and snacks to keeping things clean and safe around the house. One of the things we appreciated most was how she encouraged our daughter’s speech and found fun ways to keep her engaged without relying on screens. She was always getting her outside to play and was so patient when it came to tantrums or big feelings — she had a really calm way of helping our daughter work through those moments. Mara was always reliable and on time, and we trusted her completely whether it was at home or driving. She built such a sweet bond with our daughter, and her nurturing personality really made a difference for us as parents. We’d absolutely recommend her to any family looking for someone kind, dependable, and great with kid
