Booked by 3 families in Corte Madera, 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 Corte Madera, CA

Hi! I have been working as a child care provider in an array of settings since 2019. After graduating with a BA is psychology from Chapman University I began working as a Nanny as well as becoming a preschool teacher. I fell in love with the Early Educational field and have been working with kids ever since. I have many years experience as a lead teacher for ages infant to pre-k and have worked closely with families to ensure positive and healthy environments for social, emotional and physical growth. I am currently getting my masters in counseling and have been working closely with elementary and middle school aged children as well. I love all things arts, creativity and imagination. In my free time I like to hike and explore new areas around where I live :) I hope to connect and be able to continue to be a positive person for those I work with!

“Katrina is the absolute BEST. She was a preschool teacher for both of my boys and they adore her. She is kind, patient, loving, and responsible. She has amazing communication skills and loves teaching kids. She is amazing with all personality types and is reassuring to even the most reluctant kids. My kids love spending time with her.”

Booked by 3 families in Corte Madera, CA

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.”

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.”

Jessica $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 and Child Development from Cal Poly San Luis Obispo. I previously studied finance and engineering before realizing that my heart and strengths are truly in working with children and supporting families! 💗 I’ve worked with children for many years in both private family and school settings, including as a nanny and babysitter. I also spent a year as a program coordinator at Cove Elementary, leading enrichment programs for K-4 students in everything from financial literacy and sewing to gardening, circuits, and hands-on creative projects. I genuinely love working with children of all ages, with an especially natural connection to ages 1-5! I love creating a warm, engaging environment through outdoor adventures, imaginative play, reading, creative activities, and developmentally appropriate learning with no screen time. 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 system, 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 take safety, reliability, and communication seriously. 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 💌
