Booked by 100 families in Sausalito, CA

My name is Tristan and I am a Cal graduate and have worked closely with children in a classroom setting and as a babysitter and part-time nanny. I love developing a strong, trusting relationship with children. I am currently a part-time nanny for a 3-month old and am in charge of bottle feedings, contact naps, tummy time, and other age-appropriate enrichment. I was a part-time nanny for a 10 year old from October 2018 to May 2019, and for a 2 year old from August 2021 to September 2022, and two families of 3 (ages 4-9) in Berkeley in 2023 and 2024. I've previously worked at a Children's Discovery Museum as an educator, assisting a wide range of children in developing a deeper understanding of the arts and sciences. I have experience performing reading intervention and mentoring third- and fifth-grade students at Emerson Elementary in Berkeley. I pride myself on my reliability, kindness, understanding, and my ability to connect with children! I love promoting curiosity, encouraging self-expression, and role modeling positive interactions with others/the environment. I am committed to supporting your family and implementing practices that best meet your needs. I look forward to getting to know you and your family!

Hi! My name is Cassandra. I am from Vallejo, CA. I am a college graduate with a B.S. in Molecular Biology and a Minor in Chemistry from Dominican University in San Rafael, CA. I graduated in May 2018 with many honor society achievements and graduation honors. I’m also currently finishing up a B.S. in Nursing! I've had a lot of experience babysitting children of all ages from infancy to preteen and some teenage. I am certified for Basic Life Support for infant/child/adult, which includes CPR/AED. I am also an instructor for both! A little more about me... Currently, I am a high school science teacher (Chemistry, Biomedical Innovations and Medical Interventions). I've played competitive basketball and volleyball as well as the piano all my life. Additionally, to continue my love and passion for sports, I volunteer my time to coaching girls basketball and volleyball. I am the head coach for the JV team and an assistant coach for the Varsity team at a the private high school I teach at. I am also the JV head coach for the volleyball team! I speak a little Italian and I can fully understand Tagalog. I’m hoping to take classes soon to be fluent in Italian again! I look forward to meeting and helping your family!

Booked by 25 families in Sausalito, CA

Hi, I'm Sarah! I am offering child care and household services. I have 7 years of experience providing private childcare. I've worked with infants, toddlers, and children up to 11 years old. (One of them told me I get along well with kids because I'm a child at heart, LOL) I have a nursing education background, and currently working at UCSF, Cancer Research Department. I am also more than happy to watch dogs, cats, or any animal you might have. The more the merrier! :)

Sarah was a breath of fresh of fresh air! Sarah came to look after my 3 year old daughter all day when she had an ear infection and was home from school. I could immediately tell she was such a warm person, and she engaged with my daughter right away. She played with her, fed her lunch, put her down for nap and played more. When my daughter was napping, Sarah organized all of the toys in the playroom into drawers, assembled a new easel for my kids, and helped my daughter do a painting project when she woke up. Sarah is such a sweet person, was prompt, communicative, and a joy to have here. We would love to hire her again!

Hello families! Warm, reliable nanny with 5+ years of experience available for weekend babysitting and date nights. I’m a caring and experienced nanny who has worked with children of all ages, from infants to school-aged kids. I truly love working with children and enjoy creating fun, engaging, and educational activities while helping maintain a safe, happy, and structured environment. I’m currently working with a wonderful family during the week, which I really enjoy, but I’m available for weekend babysitting, occasional care, and date nights if your family ever needs an extra helping hand. I’m also happy to help with pet sitting during the week or weekends, as I love animals and feel very comfortable caring for them. I’m reliable, patient, and responsible, and I always prioritize children’s safety and well-being. I recently renewed my CPR and First Aid certification. I’m bilingual (Portuguese and English), a non-smoker, vaccinated, and very pet-friendly. I’d love the opportunity to support your family and help create a positive and caring environment for your children whenever you need weekend or occasional care. References are available.

Excellent experience with Thaiany twice now!
