Booked by 164 families in Ross, CA

Hello! My name is Kayla. I am 27 years old and am studying to become a kindergarten teacher and have been currently been working at a Montessori preschool for the past 2 years. I love hiking, playing games, cooking, and doing any sorts of crafts. Previous jobs have included being a nanny for triplets plus one. The children's ages were 9 (triplets) and 7. Some of the activities included cleaning up, doing laundry, playing with the children, driving them to and from camp or to the park as well as feeding them three times a day and putting them to bed. I also was a recurring babysitter for 2 boys aged 10 and 8, activities in that job included playing video games/board games, playing baseball or basketball, and feeding them. In addition, I also have experience working at a day care. There I worked with children ranging in ages from infants to 12 years of age. The job had entailed cleaning, feeding, and changing the children and playing with them. I really enjoy working with children and getting on their level. I like to hear the interesting things they say and their unique perspectives. I look forward to working with your family!

Booked by 2 families in Ross, CA

Hello! Nice to meet you, my name is Valentina, and I'm very happy you're reading my bio. I am 25 years old and I have been working with children for about 6 years as a nanny and tutor. I have training in early childhood education, which is the profession I want to dedicate myself to. I am passionate about brain-based pedagogy and I focus on teaching children based on how they learn, understanding that each child is unique and processes information differently. My experience ranges from 2-month-old infants to 8-year-old children. Teaching is my true passion; that's why my goal is not just to supervise a child, but to ensure that under my care they develop holistically across their emotional, cognitive, social, motor, and language areas. As for my skills, I really enjoy cooking, I am very creative, and I am deeply affectionate. Currently, I am studying Psychology, with a strong desire and motivation to transfer to Early Childhood Education at the University of San Francisco. With my knowledge and experience, you can rest assured that I will not only care for your child, but I will also understand their needs and work as a team with you to support their development

“Valentina is amazing. With our children she is empathetic and energetic. And after the puts the kids down to sleep the works to make the house cleaner than when she arrived. She has become our go-to sitter for saturday nights. Highly recommended.”

Booked by 4 families in Ross, CA

Hi, I’m Quinlan and I have been enjoying babysitting for over 6 years. I moved to California from Chicago after college to pursue a career in outdoor education. Through my experience in childcare, I have worked with children of all ages including infants, and children with developmental and/or physical disabilities. In my free time, you might find me hiking, doing yoga, eating ice cream, or volunteering at the Marine Mammal Center. I am always excited to help out parents and get to know kids even if it means just for a night, morning, or even homework help! I am fully vaccinated and have a reliable car.

“Quinlan is such a rare gem! We are so grateful to have met her. She is able to connect and attune with our toddler in ways others can only dream of. We love how much our toddler has fun and engages with Quinlan and that’s because of the type of care and energy she brings to caregiving. ”

Nasly $26 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m a caring, responsible, and energetic nanny with over a year of full-time childcare experience as an au pair. I’ve cared for children from ages 1 to 5, helping with daily routines, meals, playtime, bedtime, and creating a safe and fun environment. I love keeping kids active through outdoor play, sports, yoga, arts and crafts, and creative activities that help them learn while having fun. I also enjoy encouraging healthy habits, curiosity, and independence. As a native Spanish speaker, I’m happy to introduce children to Spanish through games, songs, and everyday conversations if that’s something your family is interested in. I’m patient, reliable, and genuinely enjoy building meaningful connections with children while supporting their growth and development. I look forward to meeting your family.
