Hi. I grew up in Marin and just moved back after living in Boston for ten years. I have worked with children in many different capacities since high school. I have worked as a camp counselor, babysitter, and teacher in a non classroom setting. Most recently I worked at the Museum of Science in Boston as well as an attendant in the child care room in a gym. One of the hardest parts of moving back to California is leaving the families I had been babysitting for years. I am comfortable working with all age groups. I have worked with infants as young as nine days old to teens, though most of my work has been with children between three months and ten years. My experience has taught me that nothing is more exhilarating, rewarding, or exhausting then working with children. I have found that a good sense of humor and open communication with parents is essential. Having people trust me to look after their child/children is a great responsibility that I take seriously. A bit about me. I am an avid reader. Like many people, I love to travel. I am currently on a quest to visit as many national parks as I can - 54 thus far. I am always happiest when I can get outside though I must stay vigilant about not getting burned. I am a vegetarian who loves to bake with varying levels of success. I look forward to meeting and learning more about you.

“Rachel is so wonderful! Will love to book her again soon. ”

Dear parents, My name is Maja (pronounced Maya) and I'm originally from the Czech Republic. I just moved to Novato after living in San Francisco for the past 14 years. I'm a driver with a valid California DL and own a car with insurance up to date. I am a caring, responsible, trustworthy, patient, polite, positive, warm-hearted, fun, and outgoing person with a genuine love for working with children. I have experience caring for children of various ages and always strive to create a safe, fun, and nurturing environment where kids feel comfortable and supported. I enjoy engaging children in age-appropriate activities such as arts and crafts, reading, outdoor play, and educational games that encourage learning and creativity. I understand the importance of routines and am happy to help with meals, nap times, homework, and light household tasks related to childcare. I am reliable, punctual, and attentive to each child’s individual needs. Parents can trust me to communicate openly, follow instructions carefully, and treat their children with kindness and respect. My goal is to support families by providing dependable care while helping children grow, learn, and feel happy. Fully vaccinated.

“Very thoughtful, communicative, and proactive. She babysat from our hotel room, but took him out to a park nearby. Appreciated her care on a long weekend! If/when we come back to Santa Rosa we will book again!”

I am local to Marin/SF and a Mom to my daughter who is now in college. In addition to being a parent, I have been babysitting off and on for many years. I have pretty high standards as far as child care goes. I think it is important to engage (not sit on your phone), and make sure the children feel well looked after. I like to check in via text now and again during the job so the parents feel connected and reassured. I'm happy to be in a home with dogs as I have two sweet dogs of my own. ***PLEASE NOTE: I expect to be paid for the full time that you book, regardless if you return home early- appreciate your understanding on this. Thanks!

“Cassandra is incredible - our kids felt comfortable with her immediately and love hanging out with her. She’s trustworthy, reliable, and always warm and patient with the kids. Highly recommend Cassandra!”
