Booked by 1 family in Mill Valley, CA

Hello families! My name is Sophie and I am 29 years old. I’m originally from Germany and live in the Marina with my husband. I‘m offering child care and household services which I have years of experience with. I enjoy taking care of kids and helping them throughout their daily activities. I am an Occupational Therapist and have been working with kids since I was a teenager. I was an Aupair (2[removed]) here in the Bay Area and loved being a part of my hostkids‘ (6 and 8 years old) daily life. I also have experience watching toddlers and taking care of babies through nannying jobs and family. I look forward to bringing support and joy to your home and making your life easier. See you soon, Sophie 😊 - Valid Green Card / Work authorisation - California Driver’s License since 2021

Sophie was wonderful with our almost-3-year-old. Ollie took to her immediately, and they had a blast together at the park. She’s warm, attentive, and clearly experienced with little ones, and as a German speaker she was a great fit for our family. Communication was easy and she showed up right on time. We’re already booking her again and would recommend her without hesitation.

Booked by 1 family in Mill Valley, CA

Hi. I'm Mica, I’m 27 yo and I'm from Argentina. Currently in Outer Richmond, SF. I’m a full time nanny with an amazing family at outer sunset (one year old baby) and previously with a family from Tiburon (5, 3 and 1 years old siblings) At the moment I’m looking for some extra jobs like date nights or weekends positions at the moment. Open to evening part time roles. Back in Argentina, I was a child’s psychology student. I loved this experience and encouraged me to keep working with kids! Through this years I had the opportunity to work with different families which gave me a lot of experience when it comes to babies and kids. I had the pleasure to work with different families situations. Teen angers, single childs, twins and 4 siblings at the same time! I consider myself full of love, energy, ideas and patience. I am a really easy-going, sociable and communicative.

She was amazing, both boys had so much fun with her. She was very punctual and friendly. I’m sure my boys would be excited to play with her again.

Dany $35 per hour for 1 child

Hello families! My name is Dany, and I am a dedicated preschool teacher with over 6 years of experience working with young children. I have taught in private schools in Los Angeles, Florida, and San Francisco, where I have helped children learn and grow through play-based, hands-on experiences. I believe every child learns best when they feel safe, loved, and supported. My childcare style focuses on building strong relationships, encouraging creativity, fostering independence, and making learning fun through play, arts and crafts, outdoor activities, and age-appropriate educational experiences. Before becoming an educator, I worked in customer service and fashion, which helped me develop strong communication, organization, and relationship-building skills. I am reliable, patient, energetic, and genuinely enjoy creating meaningful connections with both children and families. In my free time, I enjoy traveling, hiking, arts and crafts, and spending time with family and friends. I look forward to meeting your family and becoming a trusted part of your child’s care and development!
