Booked by 3 families in Stinson Beach, CA

Hello, my name is Jocelyn, and I am 26 years old. I bring extensive experience in educational settings, having worked in both elementary and middle schools over several years. I’m also dedicated and experienced with many years of working closely with infants. Over the years, I’ve gained a deep understanding of infant care, from feeding and diapering to establishing healthy sleep routines and providing nurturing, age- appropriate interaction. I am attentive, patient and always focused on creating a safe, loving environment where your little one can feel secure and thrive. Whether you’re looking for support during those early newborn months or dependable daily care, you can trust that your baby will be in capable and caring hands with me. Currently, I am employed at a middle school, where I am dedicated to fostering students' academic and social development. In addition to my educational background, I offer professional caregiving services for children and pets. I am CPR-certified and committed to maintaining a safe and secure environment for those in my care. Safety is my top priority, and I am well-prepared to respond calmly and effectively to any emergency situations. Growing up in a household with dogs, I developed a deep understanding of animal care and responsibility. My commitment to the well-being of both children and pets reflects my dependable and compassionate approach to caregiving. I am fluent in both English and Spanish, which allows me to communicate effectively with families from diverse backgrounds. I am available throughout the summer and on weekends to assist with childcare, pet care, or other household needs. Additionally, I am happy to provide transportation to appointments or help with errands as needed, ensuring all tasks are handled with care and attentiveness. My current role at the middle school in the mornings continues until June 19th, after which I am fully available for summer opportunities. I am available now for afternoon care. I look forward to working with your family and providing the exceptional care you deserve in a safe and nurturing environment.

Booked by 4 families in Stinson Beach, CA

Hi, I’m Quinlan and I have been enjoying babysitting for over 6 years. I moved to California from Chicago after college to pursue a career in outdoor education. Through my experience in childcare, I have worked with children of all ages including infants, and children with developmental and/or physical disabilities. In my free time, you might find me hiking, doing yoga, eating ice cream, or volunteering at the Marine Mammal Center. I am always excited to help out parents and get to know kids even if it means just for a night, morning, or even homework help! I am fully vaccinated and have a reliable car.

“Quinlan is such a rare gem! We are so grateful to have met her. She is able to connect and attune with our toddler in ways others can only dream of. We love how much our toddler has fun and engages with Quinlan and that’s because of the type of care and energy she brings to caregiving. ”

Hi my name is Erlinda. I live in San Rafael California. I am a NCS, I have had the privilege of working for the last family for the past 4.5 years. My primary responsibilities included childcare ( infancy through toddler years, including twins) and everything related to the babies. My last family described me: from the childcare prospective - she is proactive, hard working, creative, resourceful and patient. I t is clear that she loves our children and looks after them as though they are her own. She has gone the extra mile wen our kids have been sick or during the family emergencies wen we (the parents) have had to leave unexpectedly and we have always felt nothing but secure about the safety and well-being of our kids under her care. (if you want to hear more about my recommendation letter that my actual family described me contact me and I am happy to share and provide the contact) From the Eldercare perspective, I have an excellent recommendation too as a domestic care taker, house keeper, pet keeper, and personal aide. That family described me: As a compassionate individual, I give truly heartfelt attention to personal and house- tending needs. I am happy to provide the contact information to these references.

“I have the opportunity and privilege to work with Erlinda Esparza whom I have for 7 years. When we first met I was immediately impressed with her abilities. During our time together, she displayed such talents as Childcare, Elder Care, the best Housecleaning, Cooking, Gardening, getting Groceries, Dog Walking and she sometimes takes someone to the Hospital or any other emergency. Not too long ago, I needed a driver to take me to a hospital. Erlinda left her family dinner, took me to the hospital, stayed there for 4 hours and drove me home. When we began working together, her understanding was far more than I was expecting. She is a joy to work with because of her can-do positive attitude and valued not just by myself but by her peers who often relied on her to get the job done. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me at [email protected] or 415-472-4722. Yours truly, Carol Wells”

Booked by 3 families in Stinson Beach, CA

Hi, I’m Maral. I bring over a decade of experience working inside private homes in high-trust roles — supporting families, founders, and executives as a House Manager, Personal Assistant, and childcare provider. When I step into a home, I offer more than supervision. I provide a calm, steady adult presence who can confidently step in as needed — maintaining structure, setting clear expectations, helping with routines, and ensuring children feel secure and supported. My background in household management means punctuality, discretion, strong judgment, and proactive communication are second nature. I understand how much mental load families carry, and I naturally look for ways to create ease and flow within the home. I’m composed under pressure, thoughtful in my decision-making, and warm without being permissive. Parents can step away knowing their home and children are in capable hands. I’m also comfortable in pet-friendly homes and have prior experience in professional dog handling and training. Professional resume and reference sheets available for both childcare and House Manager/PA roles upon request.

“Maral was fantastic—we’d absolutely book her again. She was punctual, warm, and immediately connected with the kids, which made leaving the house feel easy. She kept them engaged with activities and handled dinner and bedtime smoothly. What stood out most was how attentive and calm she was. The kids clearly felt comfortable with her, and the house was in great shape when we got back. Highly recommend to any family looking for a reliable and caring sitter.”

"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!"
