Looking for a part-time personal organizer, house manager, backup, occasional, pickup and drop-off, mother’s helper, or date night sitter for evenings or weekends? I can assist you. Born and raised in Brazil, I provide compassionate and skilled care for children of all ages. Currently, I specialize in infants for full time care. I've been doing this for 6 amazing years! A bit about me: Responsibility and maturity have been a part of me since I was young. I have experience managing tasks and taking care of my younger brother while my dad was at work. I absolutely love organizing things and paying attention to every little detail. Being organized is a true passion of mine! You can count on me to be reliable, hardworking, open-minded, and easy to communicate with. I have my own car and I'm a great driver. I'm also an animal lover and enjoy activities like crafts, Read more board games, and playing sports such as volleyball, basketball, and soccer. I did really well in math, physics, and chemistry during my school days and often helped my classmates. I also have a creative side thanks to my background in graphic design. I'm experienced in caring for children of all ages, and I excel in providing comprehensive care for infants. From age-appropriate activities, sleep training, potty training, and baby-led weaning (BLW) to diaper changing, feeding, and teaching basic sign language for effective communication, I am well-equipped to meet the diverse needs of infants and ensure their well-being and development. Additionally, I offer guidance to parents on milestones and address any concerns they may have. Currently, I provide part-time care for a baby boy on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays from 8 am to 6 pm. I'm available during the day on Tuesdays and Fridays as well. I understand how important your loved ones are to you, and it would be an honor for me to be a part of their lives. I have great references (you can check out my rates and reviews). I prioritize safety and well-being. I'm certified in CPR/AED and First Aid, and I'm fully vaccinated against COVID. If you're interested, please share your email address with me so that I can send you my resume. Let's connect and make sure your little ones are in good hands!

From The moment our son met marinara, he has been absolutely thrilled when she comes over to watch him. She is very conscientious on time fun to be around and creative. She has a very sunny outlook and a great attitude and she’s a terrific video game player which is a plus in our house. We are happy to have her as our sitter and Highly recommend her to any other Family in need of a quality caregiver.

We have hired Marinara for occasional date night sitting and she is fantastic with our 2.5 year old son. When we come back he is so happy and always asking when he can see Mary next! She is prompt, always on time, keeps the house cleaner than when she left it and is so engaging with our son. She has great energy and is a life-saver for us to get out every once and awhile. We couldn't ask for a better sitter. I highly recommend!

Mary is an incredible babysitter and I would recommend her to anyone I know! I know my children are not only safe and cared for when she is with them but I also know they are having a great time. She is easy going and sweet natured which makes all three of my children comfortable when she comes to watch them. If I could give more than five stars I would! -Ashley

Marynara has babysat for our two boys, ages six and 18 months, a few times now and we could not be happier! She is very reliable, friendly, great with kids and babies/toddlers and confident caring for little ones. I feel very comfortable leaving our boys in Marynara’s capable hands.
