Tori $35 per hour for 1 child

Hi, I’m Tori! So lovely to connect. A little about my experience: I have 4 years of nannying experience with the same family - two kids under 11 (7-11). The kids had packed schedules (a more robust social calendar than I) and I loved helping them hone their talents, taking them to and from activities, and helping with homework. I find it fun and energizing to play and listen to and create with the kids. I also have 3 nephews ages 1, 3, & 5 and I’ve babysat them their whole lives. I’m comfortable with babies, toddlers and kid age. A little about myself: I’m from Phoenix, Arizona. I’ve been living in the bay for 7 years now since graduating from UNC-Chapel Hill. I have a Bachelors degree in Biology & Psychology with a focus on child development. In my free time I like to do pottery, hike, and swim in the bay. I love pups - please let me pet your dog! I can’t wait to meet your family!

Booked by 1 family in San Anselmo, CA

Hi! I’m a recent college graduate looking for occasional or consistent nannying opportunities that work with my current schedule. I grew up in Marin & I currently work with one family and am in a certificate program, so I’m not available full-time, but I do have solid availability. I was a preschool teacher in San Rafael for a year, have credits in child development, and several years of nanny experience with kids of all ages.

We feel so blessed to have found Ava to help care for our son. She is kind, smart, responsible, and very reliable. Our son instantly warmed up to Ava, and that is not what always happens. He felt comfortable with her, and so did we almost immediately. She is very easy going and creates an overall calm atmosphere in our home. She finds creative ways to play with our son, she takes him to the park and let's him explore while always being there to guide him, she reads to him, she plays water games outside with him when it's warm, she builds little forts and play stations for him while he naps for him to wake up to, and she even walks our chihuahua for us while our son naps. She is never on her phone while caring for our son, ever. And she's just a nice person. We wish we had met Ava earlier, but we are so happy to have met her now. We couldn't ask for a better and more professional caregiver, and anyone would be lucky to get to work with her.

Booked by 1 family in San Anselmo, CA

My name is Dorisiya, and I have extensive experience working with and caring for children. I'm a music teacher and teach privately and in groups, and I'm also a part time nanny. I earned my Masters degree from Boston Conservatory and lived there for a while before moving to the Bay Area. Currently, I teach at the Maud Powell String Institute in Novato, CA and babysit part time. Previously, I was a part-time caregiver for Care.com and College Nannies/Sitters. I work with all ages. Additionally, I am a pet sitter and offer in-home visits or walks. I have 2 years of experience as a licensed cat sitter and am currently dog sitting through the Rover app. Please feel free to reach out with any questions or concerns, and I'll be happy to answer those. I am taking assignments both in Marin County and San Francisco as I split my time there. Thanks! Sincerely, Dorisiya

Dori was great - took care of our two cats while my family was out of the country. She went really above and beyond when one of our cats seemed to be be sick, even offering to go back to our place multiple times to check on her. Great communication. Really nice to find someone you can trust - would love to work with her again.

Katrina 1 review
$27 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I have been working as a child care provider in an array of settings since 2019. After graduating with a BA is psychology from Chapman University I began working as a Nanny as well as becoming a preschool teacher. I fell in love with the Early Educational field and have been working with kids ever since. I have many years experience as a lead teacher for ages infant to pre-k and have worked closely with families to ensure positive and healthy environments for social, emotional and physical growth. I am currently getting my masters in counseling and have been working closely with elementary and middle school aged children as well. I love all things arts, creativity and imagination. In my free time I like to hike and explore new areas around where I live :) I hope to connect and be able to continue to be a positive person for those I work with!

Katrina is the absolute BEST. She was a preschool teacher for both of my boys and they adore her. She is kind, patient, loving, and responsible. She has amazing communication skills and loves teaching kids. She is amazing with all personality types and is reassuring to even the most reluctant kids. My kids love spending time with her.

"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!"
