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.”

Hello! My name is Audrey, and I’m excited to get back into babysitting! I’m a Step Down ICU Nurse and also a first time mama to our sweet baby girl. ❤️ I’ve been a nurse for over two years and have several years of previous babysitting experience. I actually used this platform to babysit while I was in nursing school, but I had to step away after moving out of the Bay Area for work. Now that my family and I are officially back to the Bay Area, I’d love to start babysitting again! Since I currently work full-time as a nurse, I’m mainly looking for occasional babysitting opportunities such as date nights, errands, appointments, or when you just need an extra helping hand. My nursing schedule varies from week to week, so I don’t have set availability, but feel free to reach out with the dates and times you need and I’d be happy to see if I can fit them into my schedule. I am comfortable caring for all ages; babies, toddlers, school aged kids.

Hi families! I’m an experienced nanny from Brazil. I’ve been working with children in the U.S. since 2022. I spent 2 years as an au pair and have since worked with several families, caring for kids of all ages, from newborns to teenagers. I’m currently looking for occasional babysitting opportunities and date nights. I’m comfortable with diaper changes, meal prep, playtime, homework help, and planning fun, age-appropriate activities. If you think we might be a good fit, I’d be happy to connect!

5 years experience as lead teacher at a Preschool in Fairfax. Associate Preschool Teacher degree with 12 ECE units. I can usually respond within one or two hours.. Patient, calm, ready to play and be of service! Originally from Toronto, I live in Fairfax and have been in the Bay Area for 16 years. My experience looking after children started in the 70’s with my own baby brother, babysitting throughout my teenage years, a young step-son and more recently my teaching work at a Preschool. I love being with all children and playing, helping with homework, reading, art, languages and piano. I look forward to hearing from you!
