A little bit about me

Hello!
My name is Mak. I am a very active person who loves music, cooking, and spending time in nature. I love to share my passion with the children that I care for by spending as much time outdoors as possible whether it’s hiking, exploring tad pools, learning about plants, and or playing sports and games. I also think the more the merrier and I am a big advocate for setting up playdates with other kids. I received a BA in theater arts from UCSC so I always encourage children to express themselves. I hope to be an important part of a child’s formative years and leave a lasting positive impression that they can draw upon throughout their lives. I encourage self-sufficiency and independence. I have taught multiple children in my care to cook and clean up after themselves. I also do light housekeeping and I’m trained chef. The most important thing for me is that I have a easeful and natural connection with the family and child that I care for and that we share similar values.

Hello parents & guardians,

I’ve worked with children for many years, starting as the go-to babysitter for younger relatives. That passion led me to coach youth soccer in high school, teaching both skills and values like teamwork and honesty.

As a camp counselor, I led nature hikes, taught basic botany, arts and crafts, and wilderness safety—encouraging curiosity and confidence outdoors. From

, I coached youth rock climbing, creating a safe, supportive space for kids to grow physically and mentally.

Most recently, I’ve worked full-time with an infant starting at 6 months old, building a daily rhythm of naps, meals, play, and sensory activities to support development. I also handle diapering, bottle feeding, meal prep, and introducing solids with care and attention.

I’m dedicated to creating nurturing spaces where children feel secure, respected, and free to thrive. I’d love the chance to support your family.

Warmly,
