Our time together is filled with adventures, age-appropriate activities, reading, imaginative play, walks in nature, music, Yoga, dance, and lots of love.

I am a mother of a 30 year-old son (graduated from UC Berkeley /Computer Science) and a 27 year-old daughter. (UC Santa Cruz /CS). Current CPR/First Aid. Trust Line registered, clean driving record and I own a reliable car. I do not smoke, use drugs, or drink alcohol.

Hi my name is Alyssa! I have been babysitting and working with kids for over 9 years. I have experience with cooking, cleaning, and organizing. Currently I am a preschool teacher and have worked with children from 18m and on. When I come to your house to watch your children, I always bring activities for them to do. Whether it’s arts and crafts or playing with cars or dinosaurs I love to sit alongside your child and help them learn through play by asking them questions about what they are playing with and also asking questions to get to know them. I am very good with taking care multiple children as I take care of 8 kids in my classroom daily by myself. Let me know if you have questions and want to set up a phone call or video call.

Hi families! I'm María, an Elementary Teacher from Spain with over 12 years of experience working with children of all ages—from newborns to teens. Over the years, I’ve been a babysitter, camp counselor, activity leader, and spent a wonderful year as an au pair here in California—an experience that made me fall in love with the Bay Area, where I now live! I’m passionate about creating a positive, safe, and fun environment where kids feel happy, supported, and free to be themselves. Whether it’s playing, helping with homework, guiding routines, or simply being a caring presence, I always adapt to each child’s needs and personality. Fluent in both Spanish and English, I love to bring creativity, communication, and even a little language learning into our time together. I'm also happy to help with light housekeeping, meal prep, and anything that makes your family’s day smoother. If you're looking for someone experienced, warm, and genuinely dedicated to kids of all ages, I’d love to meet you!

Hey 👋🏽 I’m Devin, a dedicated and compassionate caregiver with a unique background that blends professional leadership and hands-on childcare experience. I’ve spent the past few months coaching middle school basketball, where I mentor 6th, 7th, and 8th-grade girls and help them build confidence, teamwork, and resilience. Before that, I honed my leadership and organizational skills over 9.5 years in the tech industry as a Product Support and Customer Care Manager. In addition to my professional experience, I’ve spent over four years as a Camp Coach and Gym Director at Legarza Sports Camps, working with children of all ages to foster their growth and development in a safe, fun, and nurturing environment. I was also the JV Head Coach at Marin Catholic High School for two years, further solidifying my ability to connect with kids and teens while encouraging them to reach their full potential. Beyond my formal roles, I’m often the go-to babysitter for friends and family, caring for children from infancy to their teenage years. I bring a warm, caring, and engaging personality that puts people of all ages at ease, so much so that even strangers feel comfortable sharing their stories with me. Whether working with kids, teens, or seniors, I approach caregiving with empathy, patience, and a sense of fun. I love creating meaningful connections and tailoring my approach to meet each individual’s unique needs. From planning engaging activities for children to offering companionship and support to seniors, I take pride in making those I care for feel valued and comfortable. I bring a diverse set of skills, including cooking, cleaning, basketball training, and even website consulting, but I’m always open to discussing and adapting to meet the unique needs of your loved ones. If you’re looking for someone who combines reliability, kindness, and a natural ability to connect, I’d be honored to help care for your loved ones 🤗
