About Mariela
Experience: 8 yrs
COVID-19 vaccinated
I am a 25-year-old psychology & design graduate from UC Davis planning to start her master's in September 2025 to be a child therapist. I love exploring ways to bring out kids' creativity and let their personalities shine through activities like art projects, dance, singing, fashion shows, outdoor activities, & more! I worked as a substitute preschool teacher for 2 years, taking care of 3-month-old babies to 5-year-olds. I also worked as a behavior technician for a year, providing ABA therapy for children with autism ages 6-12. I have experience helping kids with writing, math, & exploring their creative side through music and the arts (painting, drawing, dancing). I value making kids feel heard and understood, being patient with their feelings, & teaching them ways to express those emotions in productive ways. Kids enjoy and trust me as their sitter while having respect for me. I have a clean driving record I can share and 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!
