$25 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 2 families in Mill Valley, CA

I am an experienced caregiver who enjoys interacting with children seeing the world through their eyes. I studied public health and have a masters in counseling psychology, with training working with children. I am also a distance runner who loves to explore the outdoors in my spare time. Recent work with young people also includes my work as a preschool teacher for toddlers ages 2-5 years old. I also have experience in elder care and pet care. I love making life easier for families and am open to other ways to do that, including cooking and cleaning while you spend time with your children as you'd like to!

“Amazing with children, responsible, self-motivated and personable. Our family is so fortunate to benefit from Tory's expertise and we trust her implicitly.”

Arianna $26 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Arianna and I was born and raised in San Francisco. I recently finished my second year at the University of Denver, where I’m studying psychology. I am passionate about working with kids because I love seeing the world through their point of view and watching them grow and develop. When caring for kids, I am patient, enthusiastic, and always willing to go along with them. I have experience in caring for my younger brother as well as a family friend.

Sophia $20 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Sophia, and I am a babysitter located in San Francisco. I started babysitting in 2025 (mainly kids 5 and above) and have worked a lot with kids in the past as a camp counselor. I am able to drive kids to and from school, and I love to connect with kids through art or non-electronic games. I am very punctual and reliable, and I am very empathetic and caring. I have learned how to navigate complex emotional situations with/between kids from my experience as a camp counselor, a skill that I bring into my babysitting, and I am going to UC Santa Cruz in the fall to study Psychology and Education. I have a background in music and singing as well. I am also an animal lover, and am happy to dog / cat sit. I am also open to house sit and act as a caretaker for seniors. I have helped out with performances for a few senior choirs in the past.

Gabriela $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi families! My name is Gabriela, and I’ve been working with children for almost 10 years. Being a nanny is something I truly enjoy, and over the years, I’ve been lucky enough to work with wonderful families and be part of their children’s lives. I have experience with children of different ages, from newborns to school-aged kids, including twins. I’m also certified in CPR, First Aid, and AED. I’m a mom myself, so I understand how important it is to find someone you feel comfortable leaving your children with. I know every child is different, and I always take the time to get to know their personality, what they enjoy, and what makes them feel comfortable. I enjoy spending time with kids, whether we’re reading books, doing arts and crafts, playing outside, going to the park, or just having fun together. I also like helping children learn new things and become more independent as they grow. I’m patient, caring, responsible, and easy to communicate with. I’m also happy to help with preparing meals, children’s laundry, and keeping their play areas organized. For me, being a nanny is more than just watching children. It’s about building a good relationship with them and their parents, making sure they feel safe and happy, and being someone the family knows they can depend on. I’d love to hear from you and learn more about your family!
