About Merja

Hi! My name is Merja, and I'm a 20-year-old college student currently studying Mechanical Engineering at the University of Southern California. During the school year, I'm based in Los Angeles, but this summer I am here in San Rafael. I have a genuine love for working with children and creating a fun, safe, and supportive environment for them to grow. I'm athletic, love playing sports, and would be more than happy to get active with your child-whether that's shooting hoops, playing tag, or going for a swim (I'm trained in CPR and comfortable supervising swimming). I also love animals and am glad to help care for family pets. I have a clean driving record and am happy to assist with carpooling, housekeeping, errands, and even travel if needed. I'm respectful of household rules and communication preferences and will follow your lead to ensure consistency for your child. I look forward to the opportunity to be a dependable, energetic, and positive presence in your family's life!
