5 years experience as lead teacher at a Preschool in Fairfax. Associate Preschool Teacher degree with 12 ECE units. I can usually respond within one or two hours.. Patient, calm, ready to play and be of service! Originally from Toronto, I live in Fairfax and have been in the Bay Area for 16 years. My experience looking after children started in the 70’s with my own baby brother, babysitting throughout my teenage years, a young step-son and more recently my teaching work at a Preschool. I love being with all children and playing, helping with homework, reading, art, languages and piano. I look forward to hearing from you!
Hello! My name is Audrey, and I’m excited to get back into babysitting! I’m a Step Down ICU Nurse and also a first time mama to our sweet baby girl. ❤️ I’ve been a nurse for over two years and have several years of previous babysitting experience. I actually used this platform to babysit while I was in nursing school, but I had to step away after moving out of the Bay Area for work. Now that my family and I are officially back to the Bay Area, I’d love to start babysitting again! Since I currently work full-time as a nurse, I’m mainly looking for occasional babysitting opportunities such as date nights, errands, appointments, or when you just need an extra helping hand. My nursing schedule varies from week to week, so I don’t have set availability, but feel free to reach out with the dates and times you need and I’d be happy to see if I can fit them into my schedule. I am comfortable caring for all ages; babies, toddlers, school aged kids.
Hello parents! My name is Claudia and I'm from Colombia (A plus if you want a bilingual sitter). I have been working with kids for more than ten years, and enjoy caring for children. I have experience with newborns, toddlers and schoolers. I also have a certificate in first aid and CPR from the American Red Cross. I love pets, specially dogs, and I enjoy having outdoor activities, playing sports (soccer, volleyball, tennis, swimming and gymnastics) but I'm also good doing crafts, art work, table games like chess or planning indoor activities if we have to stay at home. I'm responsible, trustworthy and hardworking. Non Smoker. I have a background and work in science, but I enjoy spending time with kids while babysitting. I am currently living in San Francisco, work as a scientist at Stanford, but enjoy the ocasional babysitting jobs. I also have a California driver license, and a clean record. I can provide strong references too. Looking forward to meet you soon.
Hi! My name is Karina, I am a part time nanny, part time elementary school art teacher, and a part time musician. I’ve been nannying the same kids for 6 years now, and it’s my biggest joy. However; I’m looking for some occasional extra hours. Would love to help your family out and watch your kids so you can go out and enjoy a date night, or even give you just sometime to yourself. I have been babysitting and nannying kids for 15 years now, and nothing really makes me happier.
“Karina took care of our 4-month old on short notice, and as our first non-family sitter. She was super responsive, friendly, confident, and was great with our son and our dog. We are very grateful that she helped us feel comfortable taking a night for ourselves! Would 100% work with her again.”
🌁 Hi! I’m a native San Franciscan back after twenty years in Hawaii. I began my nannying career in Y2K, and have cared for little ones (newborns- 5 years) since then in San Francisco, Marin, and Maui. 🐣 Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of nurturing children from infancy through adolescence, including my goddaughter, who is aspirationally kind and thoughtful. 🩵 I bring an empathetic, warm, and grounded presence into the home, and always try to grow the giggles! I aim to create a safe, loving environment for children to feel confident, secure, and seen. 🎨 Trained in ballet, hula, acting, and visual arts, I love to encourage imagination and creative self-expression. 💬 With a background in public relations, I’m highly communicative, discreet, organized, and dependable. 🦺 My driver license, vaccination records (COVID x2/ MMR/ Tdap), and background checks (LiveScan, Checkr) are available upon request. ✈️ I'm able to travel with your family (USA Passport/ CLEAR/ TSA Pre-Check), and am available for overnights. 🌸 Please feel free to message me about availability, rates, or anything else; I can usually reply immediately. I look forward to connecting with your family! Aloha! **For the health and safety of all the children and families I work with, I’m unable to care for those actively sick with highly contagious illnesses such as HF&M, RSV, flu, pink eye, COVID, etc. Thank you for understanding.

"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!"
Hillary S., parent
