Vianca $30 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in San Geronimo, CA

Hi! I’m Vianca, a warm, caring, and dependable babysitter who genuinely enjoys spending time with children. I have experience caring for babies, toddlers, and young children, and I’m comfortable helping with their daily routines, including meals, diaper changes, naps, bath time, bedtime, and keeping them engaged and entertained. I’m patient, attentive, and I always want children to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I enjoy reading, playing, doing age-appropriate activities, spending time outdoors, and taking trips to the park or library when appropriate. I understand that every child and family has their own routine and preferences, so I’m happy to follow your instructions and adapt to what works best for your family. My goal is for parents to feel comfortable and confident knowing their children are in good hands. I’m currently looking for occasional and part-time babysitting opportunities and would love the chance to meet your family.

Hi - My name is Giovanna and I’m currently work with babysitter in Novato. I take care of 3 boys (4, 10 and 12y). I also work as a household assistant and can cook, clean, and run errands. I love being a babysitter and have been watching newborns, infants, toddlers, and kids (including twins!) since I was 15 years old. My responsibilities have included driving to/from school, napping time, playdates, extra activities too. I am extremely organized and also offer cleaning and organizing services. I have experience caring for animals such as cats and dogs. In fact, I am passionate about dogs.

“100% reliable!! We had Giovanna babysitting our 2 kids (3 and 4 years old) multiple times. She is always on time, pays attention to the instructions, communicates well and the kids love her. She is extremely responsible and does an amazing job. I would 100% recommend her.”

Devon 1 review
$30 per hour for 1 child

I am a dedicated TK Para with a strong professional background in healthcare and behavioral health. I thrive in supportive roles and believe in the power of nurturing environments. My passion truly lies in working with children, | absolutely love kids! This is fueled by my own experience as a mother to two wonderful boys, aged 5 and 14. Balancing the energy of a kindergartner with the curiosity of a teenager gives me unique perspective, patience, and enthusiasm that I bring into both my professional and personal life. I am committed to helping children learn, grow, and succeed! In addition to helping children learn and grow, I can help with light housework work as well as cook and meal preparation.

“We’ve had such a great experience with Devon! She’s watched my 3-year-old a few times now for date nights, and each time my daughter has been comfortable, happy, and well cared for. The biggest compliment is that my daughter asked for her again, which says everything. Devon did art projects with my little one, and when we came home there was so much beautiful artwork they had created together. She also cooked my daughter’s dinner and cleaned up, which I truly appreciated. I felt completely at ease leaving my child in her care and would absolutely recommend her to any family looking for a kind, engaging, and trustworthy 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!"
