Mikaylah $21 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Mikaylah, I am currently a college student majoring in liberal studies striving to be an elementary teacher one day. I have about 4 years experience working with school aged children. I taught swim lessons to young kids ages 2-16. I have 2 years worth of instructional aide experience at a few different elementary schools. I also have lots of babysitting experience working with children ages 1-10. I love working with kids because they bring so much joy to the environment, I am more than happy to watch your kids on a date night for parents or just any occasion you have planned/need to get out of the house! I am very much an animal person, I love cats, dogs, turtles, most likely any kind of animal I love! I would more than happy to just be an occasional babysitter or something a little more serious if needed. I am just looking for some extra experience in childcare while I continue my education and I would love to look after with your kiddos :)

Booked by 1 family in Petaluma, CA

Hi! I’m a recent college graduate looking for occasional or consistent nannying opportunities that work with my current schedule. I grew up in Marin & I currently work with one family and am in a certificate program, so I’m not available full-time, but I do have solid availability. I was a preschool teacher in San Rafael for a year, have credits in child development, and several years of nanny experience with kids of all ages.

“We feel so blessed to have found Ava to help care for our son. She is kind, smart, responsible, and very reliable. Our son instantly warmed up to Ava, and that is not what always happens. He felt comfortable with her, and so did we almost immediately. She is very easy going and creates an overall calm atmosphere in our home. She finds creative ways to play with our son, she takes him to the park and let's him explore while always being there to guide him, she reads to him, she plays water games outside with him when it's warm, she builds little forts and play stations for him while he naps for him to wake up to, and she even walks our chihuahua for us while our son naps. She is never on her phone while caring for our son, ever. And she's just a nice person. We wish we had met Ava earlier, but we are so happy to have met her now. We couldn't ask for a better and more professional caregiver, and anyone would be lucky to get to work with her.”

Hi - My name is Giovanna and I’m currently work with babysitter in Novato. I take care of 3 boys (4, 10 and 12y). I also work as a household assistant and can cook, clean, and run errands. I love being a babysitter and have been watching newborns, infants, toddlers, and kids (including twins!) since I was 15 years old. My responsibilities have included driving to/from school, napping time, playdates, extra activities too. I am extremely organized and also offer cleaning and organizing services. I have experience caring for animals such as cats and dogs. In fact, I am passionate about dogs.

“100% reliable!! We had Giovanna babysitting our 2 kids (3 and 4 years old) multiple times. She is always on time, pays attention to the instructions, communicates well and the kids love her. She is extremely responsible and does an amazing job. I would 100% recommend her.”
