Booked by 11 families in Sausalito, CA

Hello! My name is Catalina, I offer childcare, pet care, and household services. While my first language is Spanish, I am actively learning English to improve my communication skills. I’m currently taking online English classes to become more confident in conversation. I absolutely love being around children of all ages, from infants to toddlers, and I take great joy in seeing them grow and thrive. I am a loving, energetic, and active person, and I enjoy spending time outdoors with kids—whether it’s engaging in fun activities or creative projects that help nurture their imagination. I have extensive experience caring for my cousins and friends’ children, and I also have a strong knowledge of nutrition, which allows me to ensure the overall well-being of the children in my care. I’m highly responsible, always on time, and dependable. I can drive, cook, clean, and run errands as needed.

“We’ve hired Catalina as an extra kids helper for our church’s gatherings multiple times, so we’ve had the opportunity to watch her first-hand with our kids. Catalina is on-time, kind, and responsive. She engages with kids in a naturally warm and helpful way, and communicates well with parents and volunteers, too. We'll definitely hire Catalina again!”

Hello, cherished parents and guardians! With a heart full of love and nine years of professional experience, I've been on a delightful journey of caring for children since I was just a child myself, tending to my four nieces and two nephews. Holding a college degree in sociology with a minor in childhood development, I am not only skilled but deeply passionate about understanding and nurturing young minds. My mission is to provide a haven of safety and warmth, where parents can confidently entrust their little ones into my care. Whether you're seeking a well-deserved night out or a moment to tackle life's demands, I am here to ensure your children are not just looked after, but truly cared for. With CPR certification, a clean background check, and complete vaccination, your child's safety is paramount to me.

“Hailey did an amazing job with our three you kids. She fed them, put them to bed and cleaned up afterward. We are very thankful!”

Hi! - My name is Joy, I work as a barista so my schedule is pretty flexible and love working with kids! I spend a lot of my free time reading, baking and doing many different arts and crafts! I have been working with children for the last 10 years and have experience watching infants, toddlers and school age kids. I have done school pick-ups, naps, bedtimes and bath time, taken kids to extra curricular activities, worked events with groups of kids and spent time as a program director for middle school and high school students. I love to get creative with craft times while using imagination and am great with time management and details. I am a highly responsible person whose top priority while working is taking care of your child. Communication is super important to me, I am super punctual and am happy to work with you on what’s best for your family and your child.

I’m a warm, fun, and organized caregiver with hands-on experience caring for young children. As a parent of a preschool-aged child, I’m very familiar with preschool routines, school pick-up and drop-off, meals and snacks, bath and bedtime routines, reading, crafts, imaginative play, outdoor activities, and helping children navigate transitions and big feelings with patience. I am also good at organizing safe, easy-to-use, and clean environments for families. In addition to caring for my own child, I’ve also looked after toddlers and young children for family members and friends on various occasions. I studied Art and Design and really enjoy creative activities with kids. I’ve also had exposure to early childhood education through helping my aunt, who runs a Montessori preschool. That experience helped me appreciate child-led learning, independence, creativity, and the importance of creating a supportive environment for young children. I’m also experienced and comfortable caring for pets, including dog-sitting and cat-sitting for family and friends. Currently, I mainly take occasional sitter jobs for weekday nights and weekends while I study for my MA and search for a full-time job. I have a car with a child seat so that I can help with drop-offs and pick-ups as well.

Booked by 5 families in Sausalito, CA

Hi! My name is Toyosi. I was born and raised in Chicago and moved to San Francisco last year for medical school. I graduated from Princeton University in 2021, and I currently attend UCSF School of Medicine. I have always loved working with children, and I have been babysitting since high school. I am also interested in pursuing pediatrics after medical school. Outside of school (and babysitting), I enjoy reading, watching and playing soccer, practicing yoga, and taking long walks along the beautiful streets of San Francisco. All in all, I am a very genuine, kind, and thoughtful individual, and I always strive to provide my very best in my work and care for others. I hope to work with you soon!

“Toyosi is a delight! Reliable and my boys loved her. ”

"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!"
