Hello! My name is Ashlyn, and I’m 31 years old with over 15 years of caregiving experience for children of all ages. I’ve had the pleasure of babysitting for hundreds of Bay Area families (truly!). Background: Current Pre-Nursing Student BA Psychology Experience working w/ infants and K-8 as a classroom aide, aftercare coordinator, and CYO Volleyball coach. Why Choose Me to Work with Your Family? (*Please use my reviews as references*): • I actively engage with children—I’m fun, energetic, and involved. I don’t just supervise; I play too! I also make an extra effort to tidy up. • I have extensive experience managing and engaging large groups of kids. • I’m comfortable caring for infants and their toddler-aged siblings simultaneously. • I’m creative, spontaneous, and easy-going with a “go with the flow” attitude while maintaining necessary boundaries. I have done well caring for most neurodivergent children as I am sensitive and patient. • I’m a top-notch fort builder I look forward to hearing from you and becoming an occasional sitter for your family. _____ *4 hour minimum, please! Looking for occasional jobs, ideally 6+ hour shifts.

Booked by 134 families in San Geronimo, CA

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!

"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!"
