Booked by 8 families in Greenbrae, CA

Hey everyone! I’m Dominika, a nanny with 7 years of experience caring for children. My experience spans various age groups, including strong experience with infants (including sleep training) as well as children ages 2–13. I’ve completed an Early Childhood Education program to ensure I provide the best care for your kiddos! 😊 If you’re interested, I’d be more than happy to share more details about my past experience through direct messages. I consider myself a proactive, loving, and reliable nanny who truly enjoys spending time with children. I like to keep things fun, engaging, and organized, while also making sure each child feels safe and supported. I really value open communication and am always happy to adjust to each family’s needs and routines. I also have a driver’s license, my own car, and I’m CPR certified. If you’re interested, I’d love to share more about my experience and chat further; feel free to message me anytime!

Zorana 5 reviews
$35 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 3 families in Greenbrae, 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!”

Booked by 5 families in Greenbrae, CA

I have worked in the professional nanny industry for close to fifteen years. Before that, I worked as an occasional babysitter and camp counselor. I’m certified in first aid and infant/child/adult CPR. I have an undergraduate degree in interdisciplinary studies (social science concentration) from The Catholic University of America. As well as a graduate certificate in human services from Wilmington University. I’m a patient and empathetic person. I think children have a contagious sense of wonder and happiness. They truly make the world a better place. I’m currently looking for occasional babysitting jobs outside my regular nanny position. I look forward to hearing from you!
