Sabrina $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m Sabrina, and I have many years of experience caring for children in both professional and personal settings. I studied Child Development at COM and earned my BS in Kinesiology, which has given me a strong understanding of child development, movement, wellness, and the importance of keeping kids active in healthy and engaging ways. For 7 years, I've worked as a Lead Camp Counselor at Camp Coelho through the Epilepsy Foundation of Northern California, where I support and care for children with special needs in a safe, encouraging camp environment. I also worked as an alumni staff member with Marin Horizons After-School Center, helping create a positive and supportive space for children after school. In addition to my professional experience, I’ve been babysitting for local families in Mill Valley since I was a teenager. I genuinely love caregiving because I enjoy building trust with families and creating an environment where children feel safe, understood, and cared for. With my background in kinesiology, I also love incorporating fun activities, movement, and creativity into children’s routines to help keep them engaged and active. A little about me personally — I’m a creative and compassionate person who loves animals, art, gaming, and spending time outdoors. I value kindness, communication, and making meaningful connections with the families I work with.

Paphawarin $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi, my name is Paphawarin, but you can call me Eve. I’m a nanny with a Bachelor’s degree in Occupational Therapy from Thailand. I have been working with children, especially those with special needs, since 2019. In September 2022, I moved to the U.S. as an au pair, caring for a 7-year-old girl and her sweet 6-year-old brother on the autism spectrum. In July 2024, I moved out and began working as a full-time nanny. I cared for a little girl who is now 2 years old, but she was 18 months when I started. My daily responsibilities included: • Preparing healthy meals • Diaper changes, bath time, nap and bedtime routines • Washing bottles and doing the baby’s laundry • Driving her to storytime, the library, museums, Art class,gymnastic class and other activities • Supporting educational and sensory play for her development • Potty training assistance She started preschool at the end of August, so I am now looking for a new family to support. I have my own car, which makes me flexible and reliable for transportation needs. I truly love working with children and would be happy to bring my experience, warmth, and reliability to your family. I hope to hear from you soon! Warm regards, Eve

"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."
