Jessica 2 reviews
$30 per hour for 1 child

Hi❣️ I hope you are well! 💐 My name is Jessica! I’m a warm, dependable, and experienced childcare provider with a B.S. in Psychology from Cal Poly San Luis Obispo, including coursework in Child Development. I have extensive experience working with children ages 0–12 in both private family and educational settings, including as a nanny, babysitter, elementary classroom aide at a private school, and K–5 Program Coordinator at Cove Elementary, a public school. At Cove Elementary, I spent a year leading enrichment activities ranging from financial literacy and sewing to gardening, circuits, and hands-on creative projects. I love working with children of all ages, with a particular passion for early childhood development! I’ve provided consistent care for toddlers and love creating warm, engaging environments that nurture children’s curiosity, independence, and confidence through outdoor adventures, imaginative play, reading, creative activities, and screen-free learning. My approach to childcare is strongly influenced by Montessori philosophy, particularly its emphasis on respecting each child’s individuality, encouraging independence, and learning through hands-on exploration. I’ve also had the opportunity to shadow an in-home Montessori preschool program, and I enjoy incorporating these principles into my private nannying through child-led activities, practical life skills, and developmentally appropriate learning opportunities. Above all, what I value most is becoming someone a family can truly rely on. I care deeply about the children I work with and find a real sense of purpose in supporting the whole family, not simply providing childcare. I’m happy to help with meal preparation, outings, errands, light household tasks, and keeping things organized! :) I’m CPR, First Aid, and AED certified, and I take safety, reliability, and communication seriously. I’m highly responsive to messages and believe that clear, consistent communication is essential to building trust with families. I especially love building lasting relationships with families and would be thrilled to connect with a family looking for consistent, recurring care! Hope to meet you! 💌

“Jessica is an excellent caregiver. Our family has known her for 4 years, and worked with her over the last ~6 months. She is extremely bright, college-educated, and has worked in public school and private family settings. She currently cares for our 6 month old on a regular basis, and is excellent at following our requests about care, and brings a huge smile to our daughter’s face. She is extremely organized, timely and communicative, and has a very evident love for children. She also happily engages with our 6 year old when our older daughter is home from school, and very naturally plays and speaks to children. We look forward to continuing to work with her!”

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.”

Booked by 3 families in Mill Valley, CA

I have over 15 years of experience in taking care of children in various capacities - from occasional/regular part-time babysitting shifts, working as an elementary school health and wellness coordinator (teaching physical education to grades K-5th, nutrition and student leadership), and providing health promotion education to children and families in my current full-time job in the Public Health field. Since I can remember, I’ve always enjoyed and appreciated the opportunities I have to help children learn and develop their skills, values and confidence. I speak Spanish, enjoy to exercise with groups/outdoors, and appreciate musicals/theatre. I currently live in Central Marin and appreciate learning more about your child care needs over the phone :)

Booked by 1 family in Mill Valley, CA

Greetings, my name is Madisen. I am Currently a College Of Marin student majoring in Business. I recently took a class in Psychology for child and development and instantly fell in love with the class. I learned a lot when it comes to the development of children overtime as well as the importance of child psychology. My experience working with children began in 2017 when I decided to baby-sit many families kids in the Bay Area. I also worked at a daycare in 2020 for many months to gain more experience in taking care of kids from ages 4 to 13. I really enjoyed being in such a wonderful environment and working with kids. Furthermore, I am licensed and have a reliable car. I speak both English and Spanish fluently , I am also very responsible, patient and creative but best of all I love playing with children! A little bit about myself is that in my spare time I like to play soccer, bake, and spend time with my family. Thank you so much for taking the time to read this letter. I look forward in hearing from you and getting to know your kiddos!

“Kids had a great time with Madisen. Will for sure have her back.”
