Victoria $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Victoria, I’m 34 years old and I’ve baby sat since high school and college. I have a younger brother who is 8 years younger than me so I’m used to dealing with kids from a young age. I really enjoy kids and I always take the older sister approach when I’m taking care of them. I like to make the environment fun and light. :)

Ana $22 per hour for 1 child

Hello, my name is Ana and I’m currently a senior at Dominican University of California. I am offering child care, pet care, senior care, and household I love being a babysitter and have worked with kids ages 1-15. My responsibilities have included driving to/from school, crafts, tutoring, and meal cooking. I also work as a household assistant and can cook, clean, and run errands. I have been a caretaker for my own father who suffered from a stroke in 2021 and left him completely paralyzed from the right side of his body, so I am comfortable with senior care. I can cook, drive to appointments, or do other tasks. I have 2 cats and 2 dogs of my own, so I am more than happy to work with families that have cats and dogs. I am also more than happy to take dogs out for walks and to appointments if needed!

Nasly $26 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m a caring, responsible, and energetic nanny with over a year of full-time childcare experience as an au pair. I’ve cared for children from ages 1 to 5, helping with daily routines, meals, playtime, bedtime, and creating a safe and fun environment. I love keeping kids active through outdoor play, sports, yoga, arts and crafts, and creative activities that help them learn while having fun. I also enjoy encouraging healthy habits, curiosity, and independence. As a native Spanish speaker, I’m happy to introduce children to Spanish through games, songs, and everyday conversations if that’s something your family is interested in. I’m patient, reliable, and genuinely enjoy building meaningful connections with children while supporting their growth and development. I look forward to meeting your family.

$33 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Forest Knolls, CA

Hi! My name is Kaelin. I was born and raised in Marin County. I come from a family of five children and have been providing childcare for 12 years. I have experience caring for children of all ages, from newborns to high school students. I’m kind, patient, reliable, and enjoy creating fun, age-appropriate activities while maintaining a calm and safe environment. I’ve worked as a nanny, helping with homework, driving to and from after-school activities, preparing meals, and assisting with light household tasks. Growing up in a large family taught me how to adapt easily, communicate well, and always lend a helping hand. I am currently an English teacher, which has strengthened my communication skills, patience, and ability to support children’s learning and development. I’m very passionate about providing a safe, supportive, and engaging environment for children. I’d love to connect and see if I’d be a good fit for your family. I’m also comfortable with all animals.
