Booked by 1 family in Forest Knolls, CA

Hi! My name is Kaelin. I was born and raised in Marin County. I come from a family of five children and have been providing childcare for 12 years. I have experience caring for children of all ages, from newborns to high school students. I’m kind, patient, reliable, and enjoy creating fun, age-appropriate activities while maintaining a calm and safe environment. I’ve worked as a nanny, helping with homework, driving to and from after-school activities, preparing meals, and assisting with light household tasks. Growing up in a large family taught me how to adapt easily, communicate well, and always lend a helping hand. I am currently an English teacher, which has strengthened my communication skills, patience, and ability to support children’s learning and development. I’m very passionate about providing a safe, supportive, and engaging environment for children. I’d love to connect and see if I’d be a good fit for your family. I’m also comfortable with all animals.

I'm a registered nurse and my last employment was working with pediatricians in a community clinic. I love spending time with children of all ages. I enjoy teaching children especially art, science, math and Spanish. I love healthy food, long nature walks and swimming. I have experience working with newborn twins, toddlers and middle schoolers. My references are excellent. I have my own car and clean driving record. I will commit to work only one job to limit exposure. I’m trained in infection control and I’m very conscious and careful about Covit. I’m fully vaccinated. I speak fluent German and very good Spanish. I’m an empty nester and not in a relationship, therefore being extremely flexible.

Juliana $40 per hour for 1 child

Hi families! My name is Juliana, and I’m a caring, experienced, and highly reliable childcare provider with almost 10 years of experience working with children from 2 months old to 3+ years old. I was an au pair for 2.5 years and never went through a rematch. I also have over 2 years of nanny share experience and have cared for babies starting at 4 and 5 months old, supporting them through important developmental stages into toddlerhood. At the moment, I’m looking for overnight childcare opportunities for specific situations, such as events, date nights, weekend trips, or times when parents need extra support. I’m available for weekend overnights, for example from Friday night to Sunday, as well as weekday overnights from around 6:00 PM to 6:00 AM. I also have overnight experience caring for a family with three older children, ages 16, 14, and 12, so I’m comfortable providing overnight support for both younger children and older kids. One family trusted me enough to travel to Mexico for a full week while I stayed with and cared for their baby. I would be happy to provide references upon request. I’m confident with infant and toddler routines, including feeding, naps, diapering, bedtime, play, and emotional support. Families often describe me as trustworthy, patient, calm, and genuinely devoted to the children in my care. I truly love what I do and take pride in creating a safe, loving, and nurturing environment where children feel happy and deeply cared for.

Booked by 1 family in Forest Knolls, CA

Hi! I’m a recent college graduate looking for occasional or consistent nannying opportunities that work with my current schedule. I grew up in Marin & I currently work with one family and am in a certificate program, so I’m not available full-time, but I do have solid availability. I was a preschool teacher in San Rafael for a year, have credits in child development, and several years of nanny experience with kids of all ages.

We feel so blessed to have found Ava to help care for our son. She is kind, smart, responsible, and very reliable. Our son instantly warmed up to Ava, and that is not what always happens. He felt comfortable with her, and so did we almost immediately. She is very easy going and creates an overall calm atmosphere in our home. She finds creative ways to play with our son, she takes him to the park and let's him explore while always being there to guide him, she reads to him, she plays water games outside with him when it's warm, she builds little forts and play stations for him while he naps for him to wake up to, and she even walks our chihuahua for us while our son naps. She is never on her phone while caring for our son, ever. And she's just a nice person. We wish we had met Ava earlier, but we are so happy to have met her now. We couldn't ask for a better and more professional caregiver, and anyone would be lucky to get to work with her.

"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!"
