Hello, My name is Ana, I have a Seven year old daughter & a Two year old baby boy. I have 10 years experience with taking care of children. Some qualifications I have are, but not limited to being highly skilled in providing friendly atmosphere to children. Proven ability of keeping a watch on children to ensure safety. Able to timelessly provide consistently positive interactions with children. Well acquainted with games and arts and crafts projects. Know-how of changing diapers or assisting in toileting needs of children. Hands on experience in bottle-feeding babies and organizing eating habits of children. I am on my way to being CPR certified & have plenty of references. Also I am very excited to work with families to help with children’s development. Thank you for your time & I look forward to meeting with you & your family.

Anna cared for our daughter full-time for nearly a year. Our daughter was 1.5 years old when she started. I can't say enough about what an amazing person she is to have care for our child. Anna is thoughtful, calm and very present in her approach to childcare. We always knew our daughter was not only safe and well-cared for when she was with Anna but she also was having fun and learning a lot. Anna developed such a loving relationship with our daughter. And, she really supported us as new parents-- in so many ways. I feel so grateful that she was in ours and our daughter's life and played such an important role in her growth and development. She's great at what she does, easy to communicate and work with, and brings a lot of experience working with children and being a parent herself. Your child(ren) will be in great hands if you hire Anna to care for them!

Booked by 35 families in Bolinas, CA

Hello there! My name is Paloma and I have over 25 years of experience working with kids of all ages, from infants to teenagers. I truly love working with all ages in a variety of settings. I worked professionally as an elementary school garden teacher and outdoor educator for many years, and as a nanny for many years as well. I am also the eldest of six siblings, who now have children of their own, so childcare just comes naturally to me. What is most important for me about working with kids is providing a loving space for them to have creative fun and develop a sense of connection. I’m good at everything from imaginative play to homework time to dinner and bed time. I especially love to get outside with kids. Back on Urban Sitter after some years away, always nice to help out here!

Paloma took great care of our 7 mo old daughter, and was prompt, responsive and thoughtful. We’d work with her again!

Hi, my name is Allison and I am 29 years old. I currently have a full time job at Marin Health Medical Center, so I am babysitting whenever I can. I graduated from Dominican University of California in May of 2019 with a degree in Biology. Before I attended Dominican I went to Terra Linda High School and Mark Day, so I am a Marin local. Aside from my schooling, I like to travel, surf, play soccer, spend time with my family and friends, bake and more. I have been babysitting for several years and I have had experience with children of all ages. I love babysitting because I love watching children develop and grow and be someone that they feel they can count on and trust. Please reach out if you have any questions!

Allison was lovely!
