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!

Alexandra and our son had a blast - he took to her immediately. Her warmth and interest in getting to know him was an instant hit for us :) we can’t wait to have Alexandra over to play again!

Hi, my name is Allison and I am 29 years old. I currently have a full time job at Marin Health Medical Center, so I am babysitting whenever I can. I graduated from Dominican University of California in May of 2019 with a degree in Biology. Before I attended Dominican I went to Terra Linda High School and Mark Day, so I am a Marin local. Aside from my schooling, I like to travel, surf, play soccer, spend time with my family and friends, bake and more. I have been babysitting for several years and I have had experience with children of all ages. I love babysitting because I love watching children develop and grow and be someone that they feel they can count on and trust. Please reach out if you have any questions!

Allison was lovely!

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.

"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!"
