Booked by 133 families in Fairfax, CA
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!
“We hired Allison for the first time to watch our 6-year-old and 9-year-old, and we could not be happier. From the moment she arrived, she was engaging, warm, and energetic. Allison spent quality time playing with both kids and keeping them fully entertained. She also patiently helped them complete their homework, which was a huge relief for us. We came home to happy kids and a peaceful house. We will absolutely be booking Allison again!”
