About Marika

Experience: 7 yrs

COVID-19 vaccinated

Hello! I'm Marika, a recent graduate from Virginia Commonwealth University with degrees in Homeland Security and Psychology. I'm an outgoing, family-oriented person who absolutely loves spending time with children. I aim to bring a sense of comfort and fun to every babysitting job, giving parents peace of mind while providing kids with a memorable experience. In addition to childcare, I'm happy to help around the house, whether it's preparing healthy meals, handling chores, or running errands. I believe in creating a balanced environment that feels like home, even when you're not there! I'm also always up for trips to the park, fun outings, and even joining families on vacations to lend a helping hand and keep things stress-free. With a natural ability to connect with kids and an understanding of their needs, I'm dedicated to creating safe, positive experiences for your family. I can't wait to be a part of your family's journey and help make life a little easier for you!

From day one, Marika connected with our children in such a natural and caring way, making us feel completely at ease. She was not just a caregiver but a true source of comfort, learning, and fun. What stands out most is their incredible patience and attentiveness. Marika takes the time to engage our child in meaningful activities that foster creativity and development, whether it’s through educational games, arts and crafts, or outdoor play. Their ability to create a structured yet flexible environment has been invaluable in helping our child feel safe and encouraged. Reliability and professionalism are also qualities that set Marika apart. She was always punctual, communicative, and proactive, keeping us updated on daily activities and any important observations. It’s clear that they genuinely care, not just about our child’s happiness, but also about their overall well-being and growth. Above all, Marika has become an important part of our child’s life, and we feel incredibly lucky to have found such a dedicated and loving caregiver. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your child with kindness, respect, and patience while ensuring they are engaged and cared for, we wholeheartedly recommend Rika.
