Bel M.

With over a decade of childcare experience, I bring warmth, patience, and creativity to every family I work with. I spent three years working at a preschool, gaining hands-on experience with early childhood education, and have been babysitting for ten years. My parents were the first in their friend group to have kids, so when their friends started growing their families, I became the go-to babysitteran experience that shaped my love for working with children. Being around kids has always been the most fulfilling experience for me, and Im excited to return to childcare.

Creativity and laughter are at the heart of my approach. I try to paint, draw, or collage every day and love incorporating art into playtime to encourage self-expression and imagination. I also do stand-up comedy and believe laughter is the greatest thing in the world. I love being silly and creating a fun, joyful environment where kids feel comfortable to be themselves. Music is another big part of my life, and Im always up for a dance partybecause nothing beats the pure joy of moving to a great song!

My love for yoga helps me bring a sense of calm and mindfulness into childcare, and I believe in fostering confidence and curiosity in kids through both structure and free play. In addition to childcare, I am a filmmaker who wrote, directed, and starred in my own short film, SLAPHAPPY, raising all the funding independently. This experience strengthened my leadership, problem-solving, and multitasking skillsqualities I bring into working with children as well.

Originally from San Francisco and now based in Los Angeles, I have also worked in entertainment and food, curating unique hot sauce lineups for Hot Ones. Beyond creative activities, I love making sandwiches (a passion Im always happy to share!) and encouraging kids to explore their own interests. I strive to create a safe, fun, and enriching environment where children feel supported and excited to learn.
