5 years experience as lead teacher at a Preschool in Fairfax. Associate Preschool Teacher degree with 12 ECE units. I can usually respond within one or two hours.. Patient, calm, ready to play and be of service! Originally from Toronto, I live in Fairfax and have been in the Bay Area for 16 years. My experience looking after children started in the 70’s with my own baby brother, babysitting throughout my teenage years, a young step-son and more recently my teaching work at a Preschool. I love being with all children and playing, helping with homework, reading, art, languages and piano. I look forward to hearing from you!

Hello! My name is Audrey, and I’m excited to get back into babysitting! I’m a Step Down ICU Nurse and also a first time mama to our sweet baby girl. ❤️ I’ve been a nurse for over two years and have several years of previous babysitting experience. I actually used this platform to babysit while I was in nursing school, but I had to step away after moving out of the Bay Area for work. Now that my family and I are officially back to the Bay Area, I’d love to start babysitting again! Since I currently work full-time as a nurse, I’m mainly looking for occasional babysitting opportunities such as date nights, errands, appointments, or when you just need an extra helping hand. My nursing schedule varies from week to week, so I don’t have set availability, but feel free to reach out with the dates and times you need and I’d be happy to see if I can fit them into my schedule. I am comfortable caring for all ages; babies, toddlers, school aged kids.

Hi parents! I’ve been in United States since 2019. I came as an au pair and now I’m a college student. All this time I had the pleasure of taking care of kids from different ages: 8 months to 12 years. With the kids I like to read books, paint, play, take them to parks or different places if the parent is comfortable. I’m a person that is very patient, calm, respectful and trustworthy.

“Karen was very friendly and professional, our daughter really enjoyed her! We would definitely hire her again. ”

"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!"
