Hello, I am an experienced babysitter/child-caregiver. I am 26 and grew up in San Rafael, Ca. Background: I have 6 years + of experience of working as a caregiver. I am able to work some evenings and days I have off from my other jobs. I have worked in the food service industry, caregiving industry and worked in administrative roles in non profit organizations. I have babysat for families in my community and families I have met through UrbanSitter, Nextdoor and word of mouth. I am a supportive, creative, and responsible person. I have learned through working in different environments and usually find it easy to learn and adapt quickly. I have 8 siblings (4 sisters and 1 older brother), which are a very important part of my life I have learned patience through my experience of being an older sister and the memories I have made with my siblings. The youngest one is finishing up elementary school and the oldest works at a local veterinary now. My brother is older! I have been heavily involved in youth leadership programs and projects, along with volunteering with youth organizations such as, Boys and Girls Club of Marin, Marin County Free Library Learning Bus, Opening the World, and more. I am enthusiastic about learning new things and teaching, especially when it is focused on technology, literacy, languages, and art. I enjoy reading books, having fun (playing & dancing), and also other creative activities. Thank you for your time. Happy and well day!

Howdy- My name is Kevin and I am excited to meet you and your family! I work full time at a highly regarded Montessori in Corte Madera, caring for 18-36 month-olds and also have experience in a classroom with ages 4-6. I hold an AMI assistant to infancy diploma from Montessori Northwest. If you’re struggling with toilet training, language, sleeping, behavioral issues ect, I have plenty of skills and strategies to share. In a non teacher role, I have lots of experience with all ages. I love being outside and playing sports. I can coach basketball, football, swimming, and skating on a meaningful level however, I’m happy to facilitate any kind of sport, craft, or activity.

I hope I get the opportunity to enrich your child’s experience on your night out!

Booked by 19 families in Mill Valley, CA

Hi! I have over 10 years of experience caring for children of all ages, from babies to teens. I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Education and have worked as an elementary school teacher. I’m patient, responsible, and truly enjoy spending time with kids. I’m also comfortable driving and can help with pick-ups, drop-offs, and activities.

“Fernanda has been an amazing babysitter for our family. She is warm, dependable, and truly wonderful with children. Our 5-year-old connected with her immediately and is always excited when she comes over. She has such a calming presence, and bedtime always went much better when she was here. We also really appreciated that she speaks Spanish, since our child is currently learning the language. It was such a great opportunity for extra practice in a fun and comfortable environment. I would absolutely recommend her to any family looking for a caring, trustworthy, and attentive babysitter.”
