Booked by 19 families in Corte Madera, CA

Hi! I have over 10 years of experience caring for children of all ages, from babies to teens. I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Education and have worked as an elementary school teacher. I’m patient, responsible, and truly enjoy spending time with kids. I’m also comfortable driving and can help with pick-ups, drop-offs, and activities.

Fernanda has been an amazing babysitter for our family. She is warm, dependable, and truly wonderful with children. Our 5-year-old connected with her immediately and is always excited when she comes over. She has such a calming presence, and bedtime always went much better when she was here. We also really appreciated that she speaks Spanish, since our child is currently learning the language. It was such a great opportunity for extra practice in a fun and comfortable environment. I would absolutely recommend her to any family looking for a caring, trustworthy, and attentive babysitter.

Booked by 26 families in Corte Madera, CA

Hi! My name is Taylor, and I’m a nursing student and collegiate softball player at Dominican University. I’ve been caring for children since I was 13, and I truly love creating a safe, fun, and positive environment for them. Over the years, I’ve helped families with school drop-offs and pick-ups, meal preparation, homework support, playtime, and running errands. I’m also a big animal lover and very comfortable around pets. I believe in being patient, kind, and attentive with children while making sure they feel cared for and have a great time. Babysitting isn’t just a job for me, it’s something I genuinely enjoy.

At our first meeting Taylor confidently jumped in with the boys. They had fun and when i came home they were happy and calm.

$35 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 3 families in Corte Madera, CA

I am a mom with three kids 18 y/o, 9 y/o & 8 y/o. I am looking for a part time position during the day. I am also available for evening sitting. I am also happy to help out when daycares are closed or if your nanny is sick etc. I enjoy taking the kids to parks, libraries, BADM or going for a walk in the stroller. Hanging at home and reading, puzzles, drawing or doing an art project. I have babysat/nannied for all ages. My responsibilities have included but are not limited to: feeding, bathing, bottles, changing diapers, walking dogs, laundry, picking up after baby, art projects, playing games etc. I am an excellent communicator and very organized. I look forward to meeting you and your family! Cheers!

Zorana was great and our girls had so much fun with her! She was able to accept a job almost at the last minute, which was a huge lifesaver, and she came prepared with games and fun! She jumped right into playing and talking with the girls, and we came home a few hours later to sleeping children and no signs of a mess to pick up later. Thank you, Zorana!
