Hello! I love interacting and taking care of children. I have had experience taking care of my cousins and neighbors, along with helping raise my little sister. These few years, I got more experience by taking care my two little brothers too. I am really interested in child development. Therefore, I am taking class to understand better their development. I am currently a college student. On the lighter side, I love pets, dance, reading and outdoor activities. I'm looking forward to meeting you and your family!
Hello, I am an experienced babysitter/child-caregiver. I am 26 and grew up in San Rafael, Ca. Background: I have 6 years + of experience of working as a caregiver. I am able to work some evenings and days I have off from my other jobs. I have worked in the food service industry, caregiving industry and worked in administrative roles in non profit organizations. I have babysat for families in my community and families I have met through UrbanSitter, Nextdoor and word of mouth. I am a supportive, creative, and responsible person. I have learned through working in different environments and usually find it easy to learn and adapt quickly. I have 8 siblings (4 sisters and 1 older brother), which are a very important part of my life I have learned patience through my experience of being an older sister and the memories I have made with my siblings. The youngest one is finishing up elementary school and the oldest works at a local veterinary now. My brother is older! I have been heavily involved in youth leadership programs and projects, along with volunteering with youth organizations such as, Boys and Girls Club of Marin, Marin County Free Library Learning Bus, Opening the World, and more. I am enthusiastic about learning new things and teaching, especially when it is focused on technology, literacy, languages, and art. I enjoy reading books, having fun (playing & dancing), and also other creative activities. Thank you for your time. Happy and well day!
“Xitlalli is such a sweetheart! She did amazing with my 4 month old baby even with the baby being fussy and tired. ”
Nanny in the Bay Area since 2022, with extensive experience caring for children from newborns to teenagers. Certified in CPR and currently training in the Montessori method, I provide safe, creative care tailored to each child, featuring special experiences like temporary tattoos, giant bubble fun, slime workshops, and bracelet-making kits (with prior parental consent and authorization). Each interaction is thoughtfully planned to inspire, educate, and create memorable moments. I am dedicated to providing a high-quality experience at every opportunity.
“Taissa organized our pantry and we couldn't be happier with the results. She was quick, efficient, and thoughtful about how everything was arranged. Our pantry is now so much easier to use and maintain. I'd highly recommend her to anyone looking for help with home organizing!”
Howdy- My name is Kevin and I am excited to meet you and your family! I work full time at a highly regarded Montessori in Corte Madera, caring for 18-36 month-olds and also have experience in a classroom with ages 4-6. I hold an AMI assistant to infancy diploma from Montessori Northwest. If you’re struggling with toilet training, language, sleeping, behavioral issues ect, I have plenty of skills and strategies to share. In a non teacher role, I have lots of experience with all ages. I love being outside and playing sports. I can coach basketball, football, swimming, and skating on a meaningful level however, I’m happy to facilitate any kind of sport, craft, or activity. I am confident watching multiple children and pets at once. Ensuring everyone’s safety/comfort is always my main priority. I hope I get the opportunity to enrich your child’s experience on your night out!

"We were incredibly grateful that Maya was able to help us out with a last-minute childcare emergency. She matched our 9-year-old's energy with arts & crafts, some quiet reading, and a walk around the neighborhood. We'd have Maya back in a heartbeat!"
