Hi! My name is Taylor, and I’m a nursing student and collegiate softball player at Dominican University. I’ve been caring for children since I was 13, and I truly love creating a safe, fun, and positive environment for them. Over the years, I’ve helped families with school drop-offs and pick-ups, meal preparation, homework support, playtime, and running errands. I’m also a big animal lover and very comfortable around pets. I believe in being patient, kind, and attentive with children while making sure they feel cared for and have a great time. Babysitting isn’t just a job for me, it’s something I genuinely enjoy.

“At our first meeting Taylor confidently jumped in with the boys. They had fun and when i came home they were happy and calm. ”

Howdy- My name is Kevin and I am excited to meet you and your family! I work full time at a highly regarded Montessori in Corte Madera, caring for 18-36 month-olds and also have experience in a classroom with ages 4-6. If you’re struggling with toilet training, language, sleeping, behavioral issues ect, I have plenty of skills and strategies to share. In a non teacher role, I have lots of experience with all ages. I hold an AMI assistant to infancy diploma from Montessori Northwest which is one of the most rigorous trainings in the ECE world. I love being outside and playing sports. I can coach basketball, football, swimming, and skating on a meaningful level however, I’m happy to facilitate any kind of sport, craft, or activity. I am confident watching multiple children and pets at once. Ensuring everyone’s safety/comfort is always my main priority. I hope I get the opportunity to enrich your child’s experience on your night out!

Booked by 19 families in San Rafael, CA

Hi! I have over 10 years of experience caring for children of all ages, from babies to teens. I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Education and have worked as an elementary school teacher. I’m patient, responsible, and truly enjoy spending time with kids. I’m also comfortable driving and can help with pick-ups, drop-offs, and activities.

“Fernanda has been an amazing babysitter for our family. She is warm, dependable, and truly wonderful with children. Our 5-year-old connected with her immediately and is always excited when she comes over. She has such a calming presence, and bedtime always went much better when she was here. We also really appreciated that she speaks Spanish, since our child is currently learning the language. It was such a great opportunity for extra practice in a fun and comfortable environment. I would absolutely recommend her to any family looking for a caring, trustworthy, and attentive babysitter.”
