Booked by 1 family in Novato, CA

Hi! I’m Gaby. I’m 23 years old. I am bilingual. I’d love to help out a family in need of a babysitter/nanny. I am currently working for a family but looking for some extra hours during the week. I have hands-on experience with children of all ages—from toddlers to pre-teens. I worked at the Bay Area Discovery Museum running summer camps in the year of 2019 & 2020. I’ve worked for 3 families. During my times with those families, I’ve provided care, fed children, put them to bed as well as prepared food. I always aim to create a safe, warm, and fun environment, and I’d love to chat more if you’re looking for someone dependable and kid-friendly!

Emily $35 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Emily, I’m 20 years old, and I offer childcare and household assistance. I enjoy working with children and have plenty of hands-on experience. I’ve helped care for my younger brother, who is now 8, since he was a baby. With that I’ve developed a lot of patience, creativity, and a strong understanding of children’s needs at different ages. I love engaging kids in activities like arts and crafts, reading, and helping with homework. I also have experience working with another family, where my responsibilities included driving children to and from after-school activities, assisting with school assignments, and helping maintain a structured, supportive environment. In addition to childcare, I’m happy to assist with household tasks such as cooking and cleaning. I’m very flexible, dependable, and comfortable working in homes with pets of all kinds. I would love the opportunity to support your family and create a safe, fun, and positive environment for your children.

Kati $30 per hour for 1 child

Hello families! I'm currently looking for a new family to join, as the family I'm currently working with just heard from their daycare. I'll be available to start in August, but I can be a little flexible to find the right family. I'm 25 years old and have been nannying for 5 years. I have experience with children from infants to tweens. I can also provide excellent references upon request. I live in Novato, but I'm open to finding a family anywhere in the Marin/Sonoma area. I have a driver's license and a reliable car and comfortable taking children to and from school, as well as taking their little ones to local activities or parks. I'm willing to help with housework, laundry, dishes, etc. I'm also available to babysit occasionally during the week, and I'm available on the weekends too! I'm CPR and First Aid certified. I'm up to date on all my vaccinations. I have experience sharing babysitting and working with multiple children at once. I'm also knowledgeable in sleep training and baby-led complementary feeding. I look forward to being part of your family! I’m looking for a full time! 🙂

Ashley $26 per hour for 1 child

I come from a big family with kids of all ages, including a baby sister, so caring for little ones has always been a natural part of my life. I’m comfortable with everything from playing games and doing crafts to homework help, dinner, and bedtime routines. Being around so many different personalities has made me patient, flexible, and really tuned in to what each child needs. I recently graduated from nursing school, which has strengthened my sense of responsibility and safety awareness, but at my core I’m very nurturing and hands-on. I stay calm under pressure, and I take the trust families place in me very seriously. Kids tend to warm up to me quickly because I’m playful and engaging, but I also know how to maintain structure and routines so parents feel comfortable. I’m happy to help with light cleaning, meal prep, organizing, and caring for pets as well. I’m dependable, communicative, and I genuinely care about creating a safe, positive environment where kids feel supported and have fun.

"Johanna is AMAZING! My two boys love her - she does everything from amazing arts & crafts, to helping with homework, to getting them playing outside! She also drives them and does everything involved with after school activities: packing snacks, getting the right gear, etc."

"When we hired Amani, we felt like we hit the jackpot. We were very lucky to find her on UrbanSitter at the beginning of school year. She was picking up kids from school, taking them to afternoon activities, helping them with assignments. She prepped food for them, helped organize their closets and keep their spaces neat and orderly. We would hire her again in a heartbeat."

"Caitlin has been such a lifesaver for our family. We hired Caitlin to help with the after school routine. The kids took to her instantly. She does it all - school pick ups, dinners, baths, lunch making, clean up, etc. She has really helped make a busy time so much easier for us."
