I have worked in the professional nanny industry for close to fifteen years. Before that, I worked as an occasional babysitter and camp counselor. I’m certified in first aid and infant/child/adult CPR. I have an undergraduate degree in interdisciplinary studies (social science concentration) from The Catholic University of America. As well as a graduate certificate in human services from Wilmington University. I’m a patient and empathetic person. I think children have a contagious sense of wonder and happiness. They truly make the world a better place. I’m currently looking for occasional babysitting jobs outside my regular nanny position. I look forward to hearing from you!

Great sitter! Excellent communication, reliable and kind. Look forward to hiring again!

Greetings, my name is Madisen. I am Currently a College Of Marin student majoring in Business. I recently took a class in Psychology for child and development and instantly fell in love with the class. I learned a lot when it comes to the development of children overtime as well as the importance of child psychology. My experience working with children began in 2017 when I decided to baby-sit many families kids in the Bay Area. I also worked at a daycare in 2020 for many months to gain more experience in taking care of kids from ages 4 to 13. I really enjoyed being in such a wonderful environment and working with kids. Furthermore, I am licensed and have a reliable car. I speak both English and Spanish fluently , I am also very responsible, patient and creative but best of all I love playing with children! A little bit about myself is that in my spare time I like to play soccer, bake, and spend time with my family. Thank you so much for taking the time to read this letter. I look forward in hearing from you and getting to know your kiddos!

Kids had a great time with Madisen. Will for sure have her back.

Ana $22 per hour for 1 child

Hello, my name is Ana and I’m currently a senior at Dominican University of California. I am offering child care, pet care, senior care, and household I love being a babysitter and have worked with kids ages 1-15. My responsibilities have included driving to/from school, crafts, tutoring, and meal cooking. I also work as a household assistant and can cook, clean, and run errands. I have been a caretaker for my own father who suffered from a stroke in 2021 and left him completely paralyzed from the right side of his body, so I am comfortable with senior care. I can cook, drive to appointments, or do other tasks. I have 2 cats and 2 dogs of my own, so I am more than happy to work with families that have cats and dogs. I am also more than happy to take dogs out for walks and to appointments if needed!

Booked by 1 family in San Anselmo, CA

Hi! My name is Kaelin. I was born and raised in Marin County. I come from a family of five children and have been providing childcare for 12 years. I have experience caring for children of all ages, from newborns to high school students. I’m kind, patient, reliable, and enjoy creating fun, age-appropriate activities while maintaining a calm and safe environment. I’ve worked as a nanny, helping with homework, driving to and from after-school activities, preparing meals, and assisting with light household tasks. Growing up in a large family taught me how to adapt easily, communicate well, and always lend a helping hand. I am currently an English teacher, which has strengthened my communication skills, patience, and ability to support children’s learning and development. I’m very passionate about providing a safe, supportive, and engaging environment for children. I’d love to connect and see if I’d be a good fit for your family. I’m also comfortable with all animals.

I'm a registered nurse and my last employment was working with pediatricians in a community clinic. I love spending time with children of all ages. I enjoy teaching children especially art, science, math and Spanish. I love healthy food, long nature walks and swimming. I have experience working with newborn twins, toddlers and middle schoolers. My references are excellent. I have my own car and clean driving record. I will commit to work only one job to limit exposure. I’m trained in infection control and I’m very conscious and careful about Covit. I’m fully vaccinated. I speak fluent German and very good Spanish. I’m an empty nester and not in a relationship, therefore being extremely flexible.
