Howdy- My name is Kevin and I am excited to meet you and your family! I work full time at a highly regarded Montessori in Corte Madera, caring for 18-36 month-olds and also have experience in a classroom with ages 4-6. If you’re struggling with toilet training, language, sleeping, behavioral issues ect, I have plenty of skills and strategies to share. In a non teacher role, I have lots of experience with all ages. I hold an AMI assistant to infancy diploma from Montessori Northwest which is one of the most rigorous trainings in the ECE world. I love being outside and playing sports. I can coach basketball, football, swimming, and skating on a meaningful level however, I’m happy to facilitate any kind of sport, craft, or activity. I am confident watching multiple children and pets at once. Ensuring everyone’s safety/comfort is always my main priority. I hope I get the opportunity to enrich your child’s experience on your night out!
Hi! I have over 10 years of experience caring for children of all ages, from babies to teens. I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Education and have worked as an elementary school teacher. I’m patient, responsible, and truly enjoy spending time with kids. I’m also comfortable driving and can help with pick-ups, drop-offs, and activities.
“Fernanda has been an amazing babysitter for our family. She is warm, dependable, and truly wonderful with children. Our 5-year-old connected with her immediately and is always excited when she comes over. She has such a calming presence, and bedtime always went much better when she was here. We also really appreciated that she speaks Spanish, since our child is currently learning the language. It was such a great opportunity for extra practice in a fun and comfortable environment. I would absolutely recommend her to any family looking for a caring, trustworthy, and attentive babysitter.”

Hi! I’m Zorana! I’m an experienced nanny and family assistant in Marin and have worked with kids of all ages over the years. I’m also a mom myself, so I know how important it is to have someone you trust with your kids. I’m currently looking for evening and date-night babysitting, either occasionally or on a regular basis. I’m happy to help with dinner, playtime, baths and bedtime—whatever makes the evening easier. I’m reliable, easygoing and comfortable stepping into your family’s normal routine.
“Zorana was great and our girls had so much fun with her! She was able to accept a job almost at the last minute, which was a huge lifesaver, and she came prepared with games and fun! She jumped right into playing and talking with the girls, and we came home a few hours later to sleeping children and no signs of a mess to pick up later. Thank you, Zorana!”

"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!"
