About Maren

Experience: 10 yrs

Nurturing children and supporting families through reliable, high-quality care has been my passion for over a decade. My background includes a graduate degree and training in early child development, which allows me to provide thoughtful, age-appropriate support for children from infancy through their teenage years. I am friendly and approachable, and I always prioritize your preferred communication style to keep you updated on your child's day. I am very comfortable enforcing your household rules to ensure consistency. Whether we are playing board games, solving puzzles, or heading outside for sports, I love keeping children active and engaged. I am also happy to assist with meal preparation, carpooling, and light housekeeping. I truly look forward to becoming a trusted partner in your family's daily life.

LMaren is absolutely wonderful with kids! Our boys have always loved when she watches them and truly look forward to hanging out with her. She has such a naturally kind, caring way about her and just connects with children right away. She is patient, attentive, and always finds something fun to do with them — board games are a favorite at our house especially Sorry and she gets into it just as they do! I highly recommend her to any family looking for someone who will genuinely care for and have fun with their kids!
