Hello, I am an experienced babysitter/child-caregiver. I am 26 and grew up in San Rafael, Ca. Background: I have 6 years + of experience of working as a caregiver. I am able to work some evenings and days I have off from my other jobs. I have worked in the food service industry, caregiving industry and worked in administrative roles in non profit organizations. I have babysat for families in my community and families I have met through UrbanSitter, Nextdoor and word of mouth. I am a supportive, creative, and responsible person. I have learned through working in different environments and usually find it easy to learn and adapt quickly. I have 8 siblings (4 sisters and 1 older brother), which are a very important part of my life I have learned patience through my experience of being an older sister and the memories I have made with my siblings. The youngest one is finishing up elementary school and the oldest works at a local veterinary now. My brother is older! I have been heavily involved in youth leadership programs and projects, along with volunteering with youth organizations such as, Boys and Girls Club of Marin, Marin County Free Library Learning Bus, Opening the World, and more. I am enthusiastic about learning new things and teaching, especially when it is focused on technology, literacy, languages, and art. I enjoy reading books, having fun (playing & dancing), and also other creative activities. Thank you for your time. Happy and well day!

Dear parents, My name is Maja (pronounced Maya) and I'm originally from the Czech Republic. I just moved to Novato after living in San Francisco for the past 14 years. I'm a driver with a valid California DL and own a car with insurance up to date. I am a caring, responsible, trustworthy, patient, polite, positive, warm-hearted, fun, and outgoing person with a genuine love for working with children. I have experience caring for children of various ages and always strive to create a safe, fun, and nurturing environment where kids feel comfortable and supported. I enjoy engaging children in age-appropriate activities such as arts and crafts, reading, outdoor play, and educational games that encourage learning and creativity. I understand the importance of routines and am happy to help with meals, nap times, homework, and light household tasks related to childcare. I am reliable, punctual, and attentive to each child’s individual needs. Parents can trust me to communicate openly, follow instructions carefully, and treat their children with kindness and respect. My goal is to support families by providing dependable care while helping children grow, learn, and feel happy. Fully vaccinated.
Nanny in the Bay Area since 2022, with extensive experience caring for children from newborns to teenagers. Certified in CPR and currently training in the Montessori method, I provide safe, creative care tailored to each child, featuring special experiences like temporary tattoos, giant bubble fun, slime workshops, and bracelet-making kits (with prior parental consent and authorization). Each interaction is thoughtfully planned to inspire, educate, and create memorable moments. I am dedicated to providing a high-quality experience at every opportunity.
“Taissa organized our pantry and we couldn't be happier with the results. She was quick, efficient, and thoughtful about how everything was arranged. Our pantry is now so much easier to use and maintain. I'd highly recommend her to anyone looking for help with home organizing!”
Hi- my name is Adriana. I am a biology graduate at SFSU and I am pursuing a career in Nursing. I have been nannying/sitting for over 8 years now and I have loved it ever since! I have cared for children from infant to teenage years and have gained tons of experience not only from working with children around my neighborhood but also from caring for my cousins and now nephews and niece! I love being able to play and be a kid again and learning new things from children as well. I love walks to the park, playing hide and go seek and even tag! I also like visits to the library and museum. I do ask for a 3 hr minimum payment for cancellations that are less than 24hrs, thank you!
Hello! I love interacting and taking care of children. I have had experience taking care of my cousins and neighbors, along with helping raise my little sister. These few years, I got more experience by taking care my two little brothers too. I am really interested in child development. Therefore, I am taking class to understand better their development. I am currently a college student. On the lighter side, I love pets, dance, reading and outdoor activities. I'm looking forward to meeting you and your family!

"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!"
