Sarah $35 per hour for 1 child

Hi I’m Sarah. 📌I just downloaded this app, so apparently I don’t have any reviews on here. But I do have reviews from care.com and references if you would like to see. I've been a nanny and teacher for about 7 years collectively. I've worked with children ranging from 2 months old to even teenagers! I can help with meal prepping, kids laundry and helping out with light housework. I like doing crafts with kids, healthy meals and snack with the kids and I could also help with homework. Some of my strengths are patience, creativity, and good organization skills. I am also fluent in both English and Thai. I am looking for a part time position, from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. on weekdays. Please reach out if you have any questions. So excited to work with your family!

Booked by 1 family in Mill Valley, CA

Hi! I’m Vianca, a warm, caring, and dependable babysitter who genuinely enjoys spending time with children. I have experience caring for babies, toddlers, and young children, and I’m comfortable helping with their daily routines, including meals, diaper changes, naps, bath time, bedtime, and keeping them engaged and entertained. I’m patient, attentive, and I always want children to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I enjoy reading, playing, doing age-appropriate activities, spending time outdoors, and taking trips to the park or library when appropriate. I understand that every child and family has their own routine and preferences, so I’m happy to follow your instructions and adapt to what works best for your family. My goal is for parents to feel comfortable and confident knowing their children are in good hands. I’m currently looking for occasional and part-time babysitting opportunities and would love the chance to meet your family.
