Hello! I love interacting and taking care of children. I have had experience taking care of my cousins ​​and neighbors, along with helping raise my little sister. These few years, I got more experience by taking care my two little brothers too. I am really interested in child development. Therefore, I am taking class to understand better their development. I am currently a college student. On the lighter side, I love pets, dance, reading and outdoor activities. I'm looking forward to meeting you and your family!

Booked by 8 families in Ross, CA

Hi there! My name is Leticia. I’m 26 years old and originally from Brazil. I’ve been working as a nanny for 7 years and have experience with children of all ages, from infants to teenagers. I’m CPR/First Aid certified and known for being caring, responsible, patient, and creative. Throughout the years, I’ve worked in different settings, including nanny share with infants and caring for +3 children at once, which made me comfortable managing routines, multitasking, and adapting to each child’s needs. I enjoy exploring outdoors with kids, and when we’re inside, getting creative with arts and crafts and engaging activities. I’m available for occasional babysitting and date nights, primarily in Marin County, but I’m also open to San Francisco. I have my own car, a clean driving record, and I speak fluent English and Portuguese. Strong references are available upon request. I’d love to help out! 🌻💕

Hi! I have over 10 years of experience caring for children of all ages, from babies to teens. I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Education and have worked as an elementary school teacher. I’m patient, responsible, and truly enjoy spending time with kids. I’m also comfortable driving and can help with pick-ups, drop-offs, and activities.

“Fernanda has been an amazing babysitter for our family. She is warm, dependable, and truly wonderful with children. Our 5-year-old connected with her immediately and is always excited when she comes over. She has such a calming presence, and bedtime always went much better when she was here. We also really appreciated that she speaks Spanish, since our child is currently learning the language. It was such a great opportunity for extra practice in a fun and comfortable environment. I would absolutely recommend her to any family looking for a caring, trustworthy, and attentive babysitter.”

Booked by 26 families in Ross, CA

Hi! My name is Taylor, and I’m a nursing student and collegiate softball player at Dominican University. I’ve been caring for children since I was 13, and I truly love creating a safe, fun, and positive environment for them. Over the years, I’ve helped families with school drop-offs and pick-ups, meal preparation, homework support, playtime, and running errands. I’m also a big animal lover and very comfortable around pets. I believe in being patient, kind, and attentive with children while making sure they feel cared for and have a great time. Babysitting isn’t just a job for me, it’s something I genuinely enjoy.

“At our first meeting Taylor confidently jumped in with the boys. They had fun and when i came home they were happy and calm. ”

"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!"
