Hello! My name is Ashlyn, and I’m 31 years old with over 15 years of caregiving experience for children of all ages. I’ve had the pleasure of babysitting for hundreds of Bay Area families (truly!). Background: Current Pre-Nursing Student BA Psychology Experience working w/ infants and K-8 as a classroom aide, aftercare coordinator, and CYO Volleyball coach. Why Choose Me to Work with Your Family? (*Please use my reviews as references*): • I actively engage with children—I’m fun, energetic, and involved. I don’t just supervise; I play too! I also make an extra effort to tidy up. • I have extensive experience managing and engaging large groups of kids. • I’m comfortable caring for infants and their toddler-aged siblings simultaneously. • I’m creative, spontaneous, and easy-going with a “go with the flow” attitude while maintaining necessary boundaries. I have done well caring for most neurodivergent children as I am sensitive and patient. • I’m a top-notch fort builder I look forward to hearing from you and becoming an occasional sitter for your family. _____ *4 hour minimum, please! Looking for occasional jobs, ideally 6+ hour shifts.

***Update: Please message me for availability- the calendar on here is rarely updated. Thank you! :-) ************************************************************** Hello! I'm a Bay Area native and I was a childcare provider and nanny for over 10 years in San Francisco before I began my teaching certification program. I really enjoy working with families and still keep in close contact with the last family I worked with. In the past, I've also worked for the Y.M.C.A. as a coach and teacher for children in their camp program. I love doing arts and crafts activities, and going on outside adventures with kids to parks, museums (California Academy of Sciences is a great one!), and libraries. Most of my past jobs working with families were referrals from other families I worked with, so this is my first time using an online site to apply for positions. My certifications are in Special Education EC-12th grade, E.S.L. EC-12th grade, English Language Arts and Reading 7th-12th grade, and General Education EC-6th grade. While working on my credential I completed internship hours in an elementary school classroom working with children on the Autism Spectrum. My experience in the internship was so inspiring that I decided to make Special Education a focus in teaching. I'm taking this semester off from teaching so I’m mostly tutoring, but also available for occasional babysitting. I really enjoy babysitting because it gives me the opportunity to be creative, no matter what age the child is, with play and learning activities. As an Educator, I am passionate about incorporating play into education to make learning accessible for every child. My schedule isn’t usually updated on the app, so please feel free to send me a message inquiring about a date. Thank you and I look forward to hearing from you! Sincerely, Reese

Reese was fantastic with our three-year-old and really came through for us in a pinch. She was prompt, communicative and proactive, he was so happy to see her and had a great time. Would definitely recommend Reese and hire her again!

Dear parents, My name is Maja (pronounced Maya) and I'm originally from the Czech Republic. I just moved to Novato after living in San Francisco for the past 14 years. I'm a driver with a valid California DL and own a car with insurance up to date. I am a caring, responsible, trustworthy, patient, polite, positive, warm-hearted, fun, and outgoing person with a genuine love for working with children. I have experience caring for children of various ages and always strive to create a safe, fun, and nurturing environment where kids feel comfortable and supported. I enjoy engaging children in age-appropriate activities such as arts and crafts, reading, outdoor play, and educational games that encourage learning and creativity. I understand the importance of routines and am happy to help with meals, nap times, homework, and light household tasks related to childcare. I am reliable, punctual, and attentive to each child’s individual needs. Parents can trust me to communicate openly, follow instructions carefully, and treat their children with kindness and respect. My goal is to support families by providing dependable care while helping children grow, learn, and feel happy. Fully vaccinated.

Maja watched our very active 19-month-old while our nanny was out and was awesome. She clearly loves kids and our son took to her right away. We would love to work with her again!
