Hey there! I'm Marilyn, a UC Santa Cruz student in Santa Cruz. If you're searching for a caring and responsible babysitter or nanny near the university, please don't hesitate to get in touch. I'm excited about the chance to meet you and your family!

I have several years of experience caring for children through helping raise my four younger siblings. Taking care of them has taught me to be patient, responsible, and dependable while making sure they feel safe and have fun. I genuinely enjoy spending time with kids, whether that’s playing games, doing crafts, or reading. I’m also comfortable preparing snacks and simple meals, helping with routines, and making sure children are cared for in a safe and positive environment. I take pride in being reliable, attentive, and someone both parents and children can feel comfortable with.
