Booked by 48 families in Sausalito, CA

Hi! I’m Karina. I went to college at UC San Diego and since graduating in 2013 I’ve worked in both preschool and elementary schools. I was a Behavioral Health/Case Manager at two SFUSD elementary schools. Before that, I spent many years as the after school Program Manager at an SFUSD elementary school. I have been babysitting since I was a teen and genuinely enjoy being with kids. Some of my favorite activities with children include arts & crafts, playing board games, imaginative play and reading. In my spare time I enjoy yoga, dancing and taking long walks. I’m interested in occasional babysitting opportunities. Thanks!

Hi! I’m Eva, a lifelong childcare enthusiast with just shy of 20 years of experience supporting families and nurturing kids of all ages, from newborns to tweens. I have extensive newborn/infant experience and am well versed in all things diapers, bottles, swaddles, and infant sleep! I often support twins and triplets, and families with 3+ young children. I’ve been a pediatric play based therapy provider for 13 years and I work full-time as a behavior analyst with children ages one to six, helping them build independence through silliness, play, routine, and connection! Whether it's navigating toddler play or supporting school-age routines, I aim to bring a calm, joyful, and dependable presence to every family I work with. Here’s a quick snapshot of my nanny experience in addition to hundreds of evening and weekend babysitting jobs for many families: Triplet Caregiver (Part-Time (20 hrs a week) from 3 months to 3 years): Provided care M-F, from 9 AM to 1 PM including meals, naps, play, outings, and household help. Continued to support the family for years through evening and weekend care after the kids began pre-school. Full-Time Nanny (40 hrs/week): Supported two sisters (ages 1.5 and 3) with daily routines, drop-off/pickup, meals, outings, playtime and household tasks becoming an extension of their family. Current Weekly Care: Evening/weekend sitter for two sweet brothers (ages 2 and 4), managing everything from active play to community adventures to bedtime routines. My approach is warm, patient, and play-based and I will aim to adapt to your family’s values and routines while creating a safe, engaging, and supportive environment for your child (Whether we’re exploring the outdoors, making up silly stories, or winding down for bedtime).

Hi! My name is Samantha. I have tons of experience in child care and with all ages. I worked at a preschool in the 2 to 3 year old class (19 of them, crazy i know haha). I absolutely adore kids and also have experience as a household assistant. I can do tasks such as cooking and baking, laundry, general cleaning, and dishes all while entertaining the kids! I would describe myself as outgoing, responsible, and kind! I would also describe myself as energetic! I currently work for a family part time that I met on care.com! I have been with them for about a year and am happy to provide their contact info for a recommendation!

Hey I'm Mallory 👋 I have been babysitting since I was 12 years old (that seems wild in this day and age) and I am an aunt to 3 kids ages 1, 3 & 7 with one on the way. I love children and have experience with all ages. I was a nanny throughout college and babysat for date nights and other events throughout my career. I have a 15 year career as a head of sales in the consumer good space and am on a career break. Some things I love - cooking (will cook with your kids!), nature, going on walks, all the pets, trying new things, dancing, hiking and all water activities.

Mallory was great with our 19 month old. She got right down on his level and read him a book while we left the house - no tears! He ate second helpings of dinner and was asleep when we got home. Great experience, would love to have Mallory back.

I'm Kubra. I am 29 years old. I graduated from METU early childhood education. I am a kindergarten teacher. I did an internship in kindergartens and worked in a hotel mini club. Since my mother is a nanny and takes care of two children at our house, I helped my mother all the time I was at home. (for 7 years) I have both professional training and experience in childcare. I worked as a babysitter and mother helper. I have experience with children aged 0-14. I worked with three families in America and I still help them whenever they need help. I am punctual, problem solver, very skilled in handicrafts. Since I stayed in a dormitory in high school and I do all my chores myself from a young age, I am also good at cleaning and I am a person who cares about cleanliness.

Kubra is amazing. You can rest assured that she will do an excellent job. She watched our toddler for three days and they had the best time. Trips to the park, the library, and fun activities at our home. Our daughter warmed up to her immediately. Kubra has a natural way with children, and you can see immediately how she reads a child's energy and gets on their level to make them feel comfortable and safe. You can't go wrong hiring Kubra!
