Booked by 26 families in Corte Madera, CA

Hi! My name is Taylor, and I’m a nursing student and collegiate softball player at Dominican University. I’ve been caring for children since I was 13, and I truly love creating a safe, fun, and positive environment for them. Over the years, I’ve helped families with school drop-offs and pick-ups, meal preparation, homework support, playtime, and running errands. I’m also a big animal lover and very comfortable around pets. I believe in being patient, kind, and attentive with children while making sure they feel cared for and have a great time. Babysitting isn’t just a job for me, it’s something I genuinely enjoy.

At our first meeting Taylor confidently jumped in with the boys. They had fun and when i came home they were happy and calm.

Booked by 3 families in Corte Madera, CA

Hi! I’m Zorana! I’m an experienced nanny and family assistant in Marin and have worked with kids of all ages over the years. I’m also a mom myself, so I know how important it is to have someone you trust with your kids. I’m currently looking for evening and date-night babysitting, either occasionally or on a regular basis. I’m happy to help with dinner, playtime, baths and bedtime—whatever makes the evening easier. I’m reliable, easygoing and comfortable stepping into your family’s normal routine.

Zorana was great and our girls had so much fun with her! She was able to accept a job almost at the last minute, which was a huge lifesaver, and she came prepared with games and fun! She jumped right into playing and talking with the girls, and we came home a few hours later to sleeping children and no signs of a mess to pick up later. Thank you, Zorana!

Laura has been an absolute gem for our family since September 2025. She brought a level of reliability and care that immediately put our minds at ease — she has truly become part of our family. What sets Laura apart is her genuine dedication to our son's growth and happiness. She speaks both English and Spanish with him, giving him the gift of early bilingual exposure, and consistently seeks out engaging activities and toys that keep him stimulated and learning. We also appreciate how clean and organized Laura is, giving us tremendous peace of mind while we're away. Most importantly — our son loves Laura, and that says everything. We wholeheartedly recommend her to any family looking for someone truly exceptional.
