Hello Parents, I am a 34 years old and have been working with children since since I was 14. I was a full time nanny from 2013-2018 and left to be a computer nerd. I still love working with children and families and dig my hands into this line of work anytime I can. I have experience as a nanny, house manager, personal assistant, babysitter, house sitter and pet sitter. I specialize in infants and toddlers and take a special interest in children with anxiety. I am the oldest of six children and have experience with special needs, food and drug allergies. I have worked for several families long term as well as on call or regular and part time as well as date nights. My favorite thing about watching children is watching them grow and learn and discover new and great things about the world around them. I believe Read more that routine is very important when it comes to raising children and having a regular caregiver that knows them, their habits, their likes and dislikes makes a huge difference! I am comfortable with homework help, drop off and pick up, taking children to activities as well as inventing activities, potty training, feeding, cooking, cleaning, laundry and more. In addition to this I am also featured on the Sittercity activities blog! I very much look forward to hearing from you!

Marah was wonderful to work with. She cared for my 3.5 year old son this past spring for a couple of evenings each week when I have to teach classes at the university. She is warm, caring, helpful, and responsive to my needs and concerns. My son also appears to enjoy her company very much, and often asks about her when she's not around. I'm very impressed with her work and experience, and I'm looking forward to working with her again this upcoming academic year. I'd highly recommend her to anyone who is looking for a mature, responsible, and experienced caregiver. Thanks for all your help and care, Marah! See you again soon.

Marah is a wonderful babysitter. She is personable and professional. Not only did she showed up early for both the interview & the job, she was conscious enough to not ring the door bell just in case our daughter was napping. I would definitely ask her to babysit again for my 6 month old.

Marah is great with my 13-year-old child. She is always on time and flexible with the hours. She's also willing to take Destiny out for fun events. She is the best ever!!! :-)

Marah has been great with my girls (2 and 10 months). The older one was apprehensive at first and would cry when I left but she now goes right into Marah's arms when she arrives. She plays with the girls and has brought crafts to do which I appreciate as something different. She is also great about cleaning up with/after the girls so the house isn't a mess when I come home.

Marah is great to work with. She is very organized and enjoys what she does. She is easy to communicate with and is very good with the kids. She knows what to do intuitively and makes it look easy.

Marah is a wonderful babysitter. I would recommend her to all parents who want to make sure their children are in capable hands. She is thoughtful, responsible, and good-natured. From my experience, she clearly takes a lot of pride in her work.

Marah was called the day before I needed someone and it was an emergency. She was very professional, prompt and enjoyable. I would certainly recommend her and hope to use her again in the future Scott

Marah was an excellent sitter from the very beginning. She was quick to respond to my phone message and knew her availability when we had our phone interview. When she came to watch my children (daughter, 3; son, 1), she was prompt, dressed appropriately (professional but comfortable for playing with 2 young children), and very friendly. She asked plenty of questions to make sure she knew where things were located and that she had all of our routines down. Both of my children enjoyed their time with Marah and since her initial job, she has sat for us 2 other occasions and we now have a recurring time that she comes to sit with them while I work from home. My 2 favorite things about Marah is how she plays with them, letting them direct the play and how she always has my eldest tidy up the playroom when they are all finished.

Our 3 and 1.5 yr old children were happy, fed, taken care of and playroom was clean. The girls liked her a lot. We will use her again!
