Booked by 3 families in Larkspur, CA

I have worked in the professional nanny industry for close to fifteen years. Before that, I worked as an occasional babysitter and camp counselor. I’m certified in first aid and infant/child/adult CPR. I have an undergraduate degree in interdisciplinary studies (social science concentration) from The Catholic University of America. As well as a graduate certificate in human services from Wilmington University. I’m a patient and empathetic person. I think children have a contagious sense of wonder and happiness. They truly make the world a better place. I’m currently looking for occasional babysitting jobs outside my regular nanny position. I look forward to hearing from you!

Great sitter! Excellent communication, reliable and kind. Look forward to hiring again!

Booked by 3 families in Larkspur, CA

Hi! My name is Gina, and I’m from Colombia. I’m looking for extra babysitting opportunities. I’m a responsible, respectful, and loving person who truly enjoys helping families and caring for children. Currently, I take care of twin 2-year-olds and their siblings of 4 and 7 years old. I have experience caring for children of different ages — from infants to school-aged kids. In Colombia, I worked with two children, aged 8 and 1, which gave me valuable experience with different developmental stages. I enjoy doing activities such as arts and crafts, reading, outdoor play, and helping with routines. My daily tasks include cooking for the kids, school pick-up, laundry, organizing play areas, and assisting with nap and bedtime routines. I offer child care, and pet care. I also love animals! I have pets myself and I’m very comfortable around dogs and cats. I can help with walking, feeding, and playing with your pets if needed.

Yinna was prompt and patient with our almost 3 year old.

Booked by 5 families in Larkspur, CA

Hi, my name is Zaahirah and I’m currently going to College of Marin. I am offering childcare and household services. I enjoy babysitting infants, toddlers and children. I have since I was 16. I also taught preschool at the little school in Mill Valley full time as a substitute. I also like to cook and bake.

I reached out to Zaahirah super last minute, and she came through perfectly! She arrived right on time and handled a lot of moving parts with ease. She kept everything running smoothly, was flexible when I needed her to stay later than planned, and made the whole evening stress-free. I’m so grateful for her help and would absolutely recommend her to other families!
