Booked by 4 families in Sausalito, CA

Hi! I am a recent graduate from the University of San Francisco and have been a nanny in the city for over a year now. I have ~10 years of babysitting experience, I now work for a few families, and they have recommended me to others on numerous occasions. I truly believe children are our future and want to foster a fun but safe space for them. I try to make time for fun, including indoor and outdoor activities, but try to incorporate time for reading or more education based games. Respecting kids’ autonomy is also really important to me, letting them speak and advocate for themselves but still expecting respect and keeping on schedule.

“Kaylen was fantastic with our 18 month old son. She was on time and quickly learned his afternoon and dinner routine. We'd definitely have her back to look after our kids.”

Booked by 1 family in Sausalito, CA

Hi, I'm Hanna! I have over 10 years of babysitting experience caring for children from 3 months to 10 years old. I also spent 2 years working in a pediatric medical practice, which gave me valuable experience supporting children and families. I've provided after-school care, evening care, and bedtime routines for children of all ages. Families describe me as dependable, patient, and engaging. During the week, I work in tech sales in San Francisco and am available for evenings and weekends. I genuinely enjoy spending time with children and creating a safe and engaging environment where parents can feel confident their children are in good hands.

Cody 1 review
$25 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Sausalito, CA

I’m the middle child of six, so moderating sibling conflict is something I’m extensively familiar with. This also means I have a ton of nieces and nephews, so I’ve had experience with children from infants up to high school. Arts and crafts are my jam! Anything artsy is right up my alley. I’m also reasonably good at most ball sports (don’t ask me to surf though; it’s not pretty) and like the outdoors. I’m a hands-on learner, so I try to impart any academic lessons in a fun, participation-oriented way to keep kiddos engaged. I’m also an experienced housekeeper, cook, and pet sitter (I’m a current cat servant -iykyk- and grew up with dogs, cats, hamsters, chickens, sheep, lizards, and horses).

“Cody was great. The kids had lots of fun with her. ”

Booked by 3 families in Sausalito, CA

Hi! My name is Valentina. I’m a Chilean-certified Early Childhood Teacher and Montessori Guide looking for extra babysitting, nannying, light household duties or pet care opportunities during the week and/or on weekends. I have over 5 years of experience working with children, as well as excellent recommendations from families I still keep in touch with today. I recently renewed my CPR certification for both children and adults. I’m very punctual, organized, responsible, and active. I love creating a calm, safe, and engaging environment for children, and I’m also happy to help with light household duties, such as tidying up, meal prep, or organizing things. As a vegan and animal lover, I would also be happy to be considered for pet care roles. Don’t hesitate to contact me if you have any questions

“It has been a pleasure working with Valentina and having her in our home. Not only is she punctual, but our little ones look forward to seeing her. Cannot recommend enough!”

Hi families! 😊 My name is Angie, and I’m a responsible, caring, and reliable childcare provider with over 3 years of experience caring for children ages 1 to 14. Throughout my experience, I’ve cared for children of different ages and personalities, helping with daily routines, meals and snacks, homework, school preparation, and keeping play areas organized. I love creating a safe, fun, and positive environment where children feel comfortable, supported, and encouraged to learn and grow. I’m patient, attentive, and enjoy building meaningful connections with the families I work with. I also love pets! 🐶🐱 I’m based in San Rafael, CA, available on weekdays between 9am to 2pm and after 6:30 PM and all weekends.

"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!"
