Hi parents! I’ve been in United States since 2019. I came as an au pair and now I’m a college student. All this time I had the pleasure of taking care of kids from different ages: 8 months to 12 years. With the kids I like to read books, paint, play, take them to parks or different places if the parent is comfortable. I’m a person that is very patient, calm, respectful and trustworthy.
“Karen was very friendly and professional, our daughter really enjoyed her! We would definitely hire her again. ”

Hello! My name is Amary, and I’m 38 years old. I’m the mother of two adorable boys and have 10 years of babysitting experience. During my time as a student in France, I worked as a babysitter, and when I moved to the US, I decided to continue in this field. I enjoy playing various games with the kids and am open to any activity that the parents prefer. Occasionally, I try to teach them French, which I speak fluently. I’m available for occasional babysitting jobs and only accept jobs that are at least 4 hours long. I’m comfortable with dogs, but I’m not comfortable with cats because I’ve been attacked by one in the past. Please don’t hesitate to contact me if you have any questions. Best regards, Amary

Hi, I’m Caroline! I’m 30 years old, currently living in Petaluma, and attending nursing school. I’m available for part-time, occasional, date-night, and weekend babysitting. I have over 10 years of experience caring for children of all ages, from newborns to school-aged kids. I’m patient, responsible, CPR certified, and have excellent references. I love working with children and creating a safe, fun, and caring environment for them. Feel free to reach out—I’d love to connect!
“Caroline watched our 3 year old during a work day while my husband and I worked from the house. She showed up early and communicated well. Our son took to her immediately, and they played all day. He had a wonderful time running around with her, and he was laughing and talking all day. We look forward to hiring her again soon.”

Hi- my name is Adriana. I am a biology graduate at SFSU and I am pursuing a career in Nursing. I have been nannying/sitting for over 8 years now and I have loved it ever since! I have cared for children from infant to teenage years and have gained tons of experience not only from working with children around my neighborhood but also from caring for my cousins and now nephews and niece! I love being able to play and be a kid again and learning new things from children as well. I love walks to the park, playing hide and go seek and even tag! I also like visits to the library and museum. I do ask for a 3 hr minimum payment for cancellations that are less than 24hrs, thank you!
“Adriana was so helpful with our 3 month old, extremely flexible and jumped right in to give her a bottle upon arrival. So grateful for her help! ”
