Hi, my name is Maryanne! I’m a local college student working towards my degree in Marine Biology. I worked at the Randall Museum, I got to take care of the museum animals and also teach field trip classes! I’m currently working as a Vet Tech at Veterinary Hospital in the Marina part time! I have about 7 years of babysitting/nannying experience, I’ve worked with children from 2 months-13 years old. Caretaking and teaching is something I truly love doing. I am also CPR/First Aid Certified! I enjoy activities that include arts, crafts, nature, and music! Growing up in San Francisco has given me so much love for the arts as well as the beautiful parks in the area
“Maryanne is great! She arrived early and immediately jumped into play with my preschooler. He usually freaks out when we leave, but he was having so much fun with Maryanne already that he didn’t even want to pause to say goodbye 😂 ”

I'm a caring and creative caregiver with hands-on experience as a preschool teacher, where I worked with children ages 2-5 for a full school year. In the classroom, I have worked with children with neurodivergence, including ADHD and autism. I have over 6 months of babysitting/nannying experience working with 8-month-olds to 10-year-olds. In addition, I am an eldest daughter who has basically raised my younger sisters, who are now in their late teens, so I technically have years of experience with up to 17-year-olds. I have an associate's degree in Child and Adolescent Development, giving me a strong understanding of developmental stages and age-appropriate care. I am also First-Aid & CPR-certified and fully vaccinated. My top strengths include planning engaging activities, encouraging imaginative play, and supporting children's growth in a fun, safe, and nurturing environment. I love helping kids learn, explore, and feel confident being themselves!
Hi! I’m Lauryn. I’m someone who genuinely enjoys spending time with kids and getting to know their individual personalities. I spent 5 years in child care as a preschool teacher at Action Day Schools, a babysitter for multiple families, and a substitute teacher with Child Care Careers. I can keep kids engaged with games, crafts, creative activities, trips to the park, reading, or simply letting them lead the fun. I’m also happy to help with homework, meals and snacks, bedtime routines, tidying up after activities, and whatever else helps make your evening easier. I am comfortable taking care of children with special needs and have been active in the autism community my whole life as my older brother is autistic. Also, I used to volunteer for 4 years in high school at the local SPCA and am comfortable with any pets you may have :) As a sitter, my priority is making sure your children feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I’m happy to respect the varying routines and parenting styles of any family. I’ll always keep you updated and make sure you feel confident that your little ones are in good hands :) I’d love the opportunity to get to know your family and be a helping hand when you need it! 💕
