Hi families, I'm a psychologist and childcare professional with 8+ years of hands-on experience with children from infants to preschoolers, including children with special needs such as autism spectrum disorder and ADHD. I've worked comfortably with traditional, adoptive, single-parent, families of color, and LGBTQ+ households, and I adapt easily whether you work from home or outside. I’ve worked in full-time, part-time, occasional, one-time, overnight, weekday, and weekend roles. Thanks to my background and experience, I’m comfortable caring for one or multiple children at a time while always maintaining a responsible, respectful, and attentive approach. CPR/First Aid certified through the American Red Cross (Adult & Pediatric), with a clean background check and driving record. Fully vaccinated (COVID-19, flu & influenza), bilingual in English and Spanish (native), non-smoker/non-drinker, and pet-friendly with experience around 3 cats and 1 dog. I'd love to connect and see if I'm a great fit for your family. Read more Feel free to reach out anytime; I'm happy to chat, answer questions, or schedule a meet-and-greet. Warmly, Mariela

She was quick to respond to our desire to meet her and she was very curious with our daughter when she came over. She showed her pictures of her cats on her phone and played with our dog easily. On the night we were out she texted us pictures of their activities and let us know she was asleep which put us at ease.

Thank you very much, Liz, for trusting me. I hope you know you can count on me whenever you need help.
