Booked by 26 families in Corte Madera, CA

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. ”

Booked by 3 families in Corte Madera, CA

Hi! I’m Zorana! I’m an experienced nanny and family assistant in Marin and have worked with kids of all ages over the years. I’m also a mom myself, so I know how important it is to have someone you trust with your kids. I’m currently looking for evening and date-night babysitting, either occasionally or on a regular basis. I’m happy to help with dinner, playtime, baths and bedtime—whatever makes the evening easier. I’m reliable, easygoing and comfortable stepping into your family’s normal routine.

“Zorana was great and our girls had so much fun with her! She was able to accept a job almost at the last minute, which was a huge lifesaver, and she came prepared with games and fun! She jumped right into playing and talking with the girls, and we came home a few hours later to sleeping children and no signs of a mess to pick up later. Thank you, Zorana!”

I'm a registered nurse and my last employment was working with pediatricians in a community clinic. I love spending time with children of all ages. I enjoy teaching children especially art, science, math and Spanish. I love healthy food, long nature walks and swimming. I have experience working with newborn twins, toddlers and middle schoolers. My references are excellent. I have my own car and clean driving record. I will commit to work only one job to limit exposure. I’m trained in infection control and I’m very conscious and careful about Covit. I’m fully vaccinated. I speak fluent German and very good Spanish. I’m an empty nester and not in a relationship, therefore being extremely flexible.
