I'm an enthusiastic, experienced caregiver who loves to play games / go outside with the children, as well as help them with arts and crafts, homework or any other academic or creative endeavors! I consistently babysat for 4 different families in Marin from 2[removed], only stopping because I got a full time job on the east coast in 2019 after graduating from Boston University. I regularly babysat for the Zirkle family, who had two children (aged 6 and 8), the Violet family who had 3 children (4, 7 and 10), the Smith family who had twins (3), and the Wilson family with one son (3). I also helped with two infants for two months (4-6 months old). For all of these families I would cook meals, read stories and play games, assist with homework, change diapers, and manage all aspects of a dinner / feeding and nighttime routine. I also cared for all pets owned by the families (both dogs and cats), walking them and feeding them as well. I am also comfortable assisting with late night and overnight stays!
Hi! My name is Olivia and I am 20 years old. I have lived in San Francisco my entire life and I attended Convent Elementary school and St. Ignatius High School. I currently attend the University of Texas where I study Finance and am on the division 1 rowing team. I am home for the summer and I am looking for some families to help out! During Covid 19, I took on a large mothers helper role for 4 girls (aged 1,3,5,7) and absolutely loved it. I love kids and am a fun, energetic, warm, and very type A/responsible person. Also, I have played almost ever sport, so I love throwing the baseball or kicking the soccer ball with young kids. I had a small baking business when I was in middle school so I still love to bake and cook if that is helpful in anyway. I have been babysitting all ages of kids on and off ever since I was 13 years old and have built many strong and trustworthy relationships with families that I have helped. I have had Golden Retrievers my whole life, so I am also great with dogs. I also have had my drivers license for 4 years and have taken a CPR certification course. Overall, I always have a great time when I babysit, and I would love the opportunity to babysit more families!

Hi! My name is Santana. I look forward to meeting you. I love kids :) I was a special education teacher for seven years, with teaching experience in most grade levels. I have a masters in social work and now do direct service work with youth and parents. I also love little ones! I have a nephew who is one year old and I love spending time with him. I can also help with dogs! I have a small dog myself :)
Nice to meet you, I am Rilee! I have a strong passion for working with children of all ages. I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Child Development and a Master’s degree in Education, which have given me both the knowledge and hands-on skills to support children’s growth, learning, and well-being. After graduating from college, I worked as a full-time nanny for three years with one wonderful family, where I built a strong, lasting relationship and gained valuable experience in daily care, routines, and developmental support. I then transitioned into teaching where I have been the last seven years in elementary, and currently I teach 3rd grade. I am CPR and First Aid certified, and safety is always my top priority. I am reliable, patient, and love creating fun, enriching experiences. I will be available for babysitting starting June 15 when my summer officially kicks off.

"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!"
Hillary S., parent
"We used Tania for a last minute emergency. She responded very quickly. My daughter seemed to enjoy herself. My son napped most of the time. I enjoyed how she kept me updated by text."
Theresa M., parent
