Hi! My name is Yuyan and I work as a nanny offering child care, pet care, and household services. I love working with children and have experience caring for kids of different ages. My responsibilities have included playing, helping with routines, meals, school-related activities, and creating a safe and nurturing environment. I also have experience caring for dogs and cats and feel very comfortable helping families with their pets as part of my daily responsibilities.

Hi - My name is Giovanna and I’m currently work with babysitter in Novato. I take care of 3 boys (4, 10 and 12y). I also work as a household assistant and can cook, clean, and run errands. I love being a babysitter and have been watching newborns, infants, toddlers, and kids (including twins!) since I was 15 years old. My responsibilities have included driving to/from school, napping time, playdates, extra activities too. I am extremely organized and also offer cleaning and organizing services. I have experience caring for animals such as cats and dogs. In fact, I am passionate about dogs.

“100% reliable!! We had Giovanna babysitting our 2 kids (3 and 4 years old) multiple times. She is always on time, pays attention to the instructions, communicates well and the kids love her. She is extremely responsible and does an amazing job. I would 100% recommend her.”

Devon 1 review
$30 per hour for 1 child

I am a dedicated TK Para with a strong professional background in healthcare and behavioral health. I thrive in supportive roles and believe in the power of nurturing environments. My passion truly lies in working with children, | absolutely love kids! This is fueled by my own experience as a mother to two wonderful boys, aged 5 and 14. Balancing the energy of a kindergartner with the curiosity of a teenager gives me unique perspective, patience, and enthusiasm that I bring into both my professional and personal life. I am committed to helping children learn, grow, and succeed! In addition to helping children learn and grow, I can help with light housework work as well as cook and meal preparation.

“We’ve had such a great experience with Devon! She’s watched my 3-year-old a few times now for date nights, and each time my daughter has been comfortable, happy, and well cared for. The biggest compliment is that my daughter asked for her again, which says everything. Devon did art projects with my little one, and when we came home there was so much beautiful artwork they had created together. She also cooked my daughter’s dinner and cleaned up, which I truly appreciated. I felt completely at ease leaving my child in her care and would absolutely recommend her to any family looking for a kind, engaging, and trustworthy babysitter.”

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.

"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!"
