Booked by 1 family in Mill Valley, CA

Hi! My name is Lawson and I am a senior at the Urban School of San Francisco. I am the oldest of three kids, including a brother 10 years younger than me whom I regularly take care of, so I have been around kids my whole life. I have also babysat and worked as a camp counselor plenty of times throughout my life. I am no stranger to driving, entertaining, coaching, and putting kids to bed. I am a very active person and am more than willing to play sports and spend energy with kids. I can also help with homework and tutoring, especially in math and science. I can cook and clean as well as drive to run errands or to take kids to and from their activities. I love cats and dogs and have a cat of my own. I can feed, walk and play with pets, though I am slightly allergic and less comfortable with pets that shed a lot.

Kind, on time, and easy to communicate with. Our child felt comfortable, and we’d happily book again.

Caroline $25 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Mill Valley, CA

Hi! As an oldest child, I've said that I've been in childcare since I was 5 years old. More formally, I've been a sitter/nanny in varying capacities since I was 13 years old. I've worked with families with ages 4 months - 10 years old so I have experience with everything from tummy time to tutoring. Even as I joined the work force after college, I still was the go-to sitter for several families. Now, I have recently moved to the Bay and miss the joy of working with kids so am looking for part-time opportunities to connect with and support families in the area.
