A little bit about me
Hi! My name is Kaila, I’m 19 and a student at College of Marin.
I’ve been caring for children since age 10, when I helped with a 3-year-old and her newborn sister. Since then, I’ve developed a natural ability to connect with kids and create a safe, fun environment.
I’m most comfortable working with toddlers and older children (not infants/newborns). I enjoy staying active, cooking, and keeping kids engaged. I’m also happy to help with meal prep and light cleaning.
I have a driver’s license and my own car for transportation.
I grew up in a multicultural household with a single Venezuelan parent. I don’t speak Spanish fluently but understand a little.
I’m responsible, patient, and genuinely enjoy taking care of others. I’d love to support a family that needs reliable help—feel free to reach out with any questions!
Looking forward to connecting :)

A little bit about me
Hi, I’m Izabella Deleon, based in Marin County, CA, fluent in English and Spanish. I’m CPR and First Aid certified as well. I’m dependable, nurturing, and passionate about what I do. I don’t see childcare as a job, but as an opportunity to build real connections and support each child’s growth.
I love spending time outdoors, whether it’s going for walks or visiting local parks, and I enjoy creating fun and educational activities at home like art, crafts, and sensory play especially during the winter. I take pride in getting to know each child’s learning style, whether they’re more visual or hands-on, and I always work to support their development while having fun. I also enjoy cooking meals from scratch, often involving the kids in the process to teach them life skills and create stronger bonds.
Most recently, I provided care for a child from 9 months to 3 years old with the same family for three years, and I bring that same level of commitment and care to every family I work with.
