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. ”

Hi! My name is Cindy, and I’m 27 years old! I’m bilingual in English and Spanish and have lived in Marin County my entire life. I have over 6 years of babysitting experience caring for children of all ages, from infants to teenagers. I’ve also volunteered at local schools and after-school programs. I’m responsible, patient, reliable, and love keeping kids entertained with outdoor activities, arts and crafts, and fun games! I have great references available upon request and also offer pet sitting and overnight care. I look forward to meeting your family! 😊 Please note: I have a 4-hour minimum booking requirement. If care ends earlier than our agreed time, the full scheduled amount is still due. Feel free to message me with any questions! 💗

Booked by 25 families in Greenbrae, CA

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!”

"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!"
