Booked by 3 families in Ross, CA

I'm a registered nurse and my last employment was working with pediatricians in a community clinic. I love spending time with children of all ages. I enjoy teaching children especially art, science, math and Spanish. I love healthy food, long nature walks and swimming. I have experience working with newborn twins, toddlers and middle schoolers. My references are excellent. I have my own car and clean driving record. I will commit to work only one job to limit exposure. I’m trained in infection control and I’m very conscious and careful about Covit. I’m fully vaccinated. I speak fluent German and very good Spanish. I’m an empty nester and not in a relationship, therefore being extremely flexible.

Rebecca San Rafael
$35 per hour for 1 child

Hi there! My name is Becca, and I've recently moved to San Rafael from Sacramento. I have over 5 years of professional childcare experience, including Early Childhood Education (ECE) teaching with children ages 4 months–5 years, as well as coaching gymnastics and parkour for ages 2–12. I’ve worked as a private nanny for children across all age groups and especially enjoy working with infants and preschool-aged children (3–6). I focus on play-based, child-led learning in calm, structured environments that encourage curiosity and exploration. With infants, I have experience supporting sleep routines, feeding, tummy time, and sensory play. With toddlers and preschoolers, I enjoy incorporating movement, everyday learning like early literacy and numeracy, and creative play that builds curiosity, confidence, and independence. I also bring a calm, emotionally attuned approach, helping children navigate big emotions with steady support and clear, consistent boundaries. In previous roles, I’ve supported families with school pick-ups/drop-offs, meal prep, children’s laundry, and daily routines like bath and bedtime. I’m currently looking for a part-time position and would be happy to provide references. I’m fully vaccinated and CPR/First Aid certified. Please feel free to message me with any questions or to chat about how I can best support your family. Thank you for your time!

I have nine years of experience in education and I find little humans to be rad and time with them is total magic. I holds two degrees in early childhood education and theatre. In my twenties I fancied becoming a Shakespearean stage actor.

$22 per hour for 1 child

Hello, my name is Ana and I’m currently a senior at Dominican University of California. I am offering child care, pet care, senior care, and household I love being a babysitter and have worked with kids ages 1-15. My responsibilities have included driving to/from school, crafts, tutoring, and meal cooking. I also work as a household assistant and can cook, clean, and run errands. I have been a caretaker for my own father who suffered from a stroke in 2021 and left him completely paralyzed from the right side of his body, so I am comfortable with senior care. I can cook, drive to appointments, or do other tasks. I have 2 cats and 2 dogs of my own, so I am more than happy to work with families that have cats and dogs. I am also more than happy to take dogs out for walks and to appointments if needed!
