Booked by 3 families in Mill Valley, CA

a mother myself, I bring both personal understanding and hands-on experience in caring for children of all ages. I truly enjoy engaging kids in meaningful ways-whether through reading, painting, games, outdoor activities, or simply supporting their daily routines with patience and care. Families describe me as loving, reliable, and attentive. I'm also highly organized, a strong multitasker, and always punctual. Beyond childcare, I'm a dedicated yoga practitioner, naturally caring, and an animal lover. With excellent references available, I am confident in my ability to provide a safe, nurturing, and joyful environment for your children.

Jessica is INCREDIBLE. She’s a mother herself and so taking care of children is natural, intuitive, and she genuinely loves and cares for kids. She handled the full morning routine for my 3 kids when I was out of town, including driving them to school, and knocked it out of the park. We’ve had her support multiple times since. She is warm and lovely to be around. Jessica is truly a gem!

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.

Ana $22 per hour for 1 child

Hello, my name is Ana and I’m currently a senior at Dominican University of California. I am offering child care, pet care, senior care, and household I love being a babysitter and have worked with kids ages 1-15. My responsibilities have included driving to/from school, crafts, tutoring, and meal cooking. I also work as a household assistant and can cook, clean, and run errands. I have been a caretaker for my own father who suffered from a stroke in 2021 and left him completely paralyzed from the right side of his body, so I am comfortable with senior care. I can cook, drive to appointments, or do other tasks. I have 2 cats and 2 dogs of my own, so I am more than happy to work with families that have cats and dogs. I am also more than happy to take dogs out for walks and to appointments if needed!
