Hi parents! I’ve been in United States since 2019. I came as an au pair and now I’m a college student. All this time I had the pleasure of taking care of kids from different ages: 8 months to 12 years. With the kids I like to read books, paint, play, take them to parks or different places if the parent is comfortable. I’m a person that is very patient, calm, respectful and trustworthy.

Karen was very friendly and professional, our daughter really enjoyed her! We would definitely hire her again.

My name is Lauren and I have been babysitting and providing childcare for local families for over twenty years. I am happy, energetic, upbeat and creative and I enjoy working with children of all ages! I'm also certified in infant, child and adult CPR. 💚 In conjunction with providing childcare to families in my area, I have been working in the medical field for the last 15 years and love interacting with all the folks I meet in Marin County. I currently work full time in a veterinary practice and have experience working in pediatric medicine, as well as adult and pediatric dentistry. I have been TrustLine certified since April of 2007, which includes finger printing and a FBI background check. I live in San Anselmo with my family and my sweet Chihuahua, have my own reliable vehicle and and am a non-smoker. I have wonderful references and a perfect driving record. I’m responsible yet playful, attentive, patient, open-minded, loving and cheerful. I pride myself on caring for your family the same way I care for my own! I am fully vaccinated and boostered against COVID, and take health and wellness very seriously as well. I’m also happy to wear a mask around your family if that is your preference. I look forward to connecting with you and helping you with your childcare and house hold assistance needs!

Lauren was professional, prepared and friendly. She took charge quickly and was very capable with my three pre-teens. Communication with me while we were gone was excellent. Would definitely hire again.

Booked by 12 families in Kentfield, CA

I’m 26 years old and I’ve been working with children since I was 15 in my home country, and for 2.5 years here in the Bay Area. I always loved being around kids and I have experience with all ages, from infants to teenagers. I can cook, clean and I’m a strong driver. I’m also caring, affectionate, energetic, fast learner, really responsible, trustworthy, pet friendly, CPR and first aid certified. I currently work part time for a family, so I’m open to part-time positions (especially in the mornings). Besides my experience with kids, I also have a college degree, and experience with managing, so I’d be happy to help as a personal assistant/organizer or mother’s helper as well. Please let me know if you have any questions, I’ll be happy to answer and to help your family.

Nathalia jumped in on short notice and was on top of the details of getting my daughter and bringing her to an appointment and then home. We hope to see her again.

Dear families, I love being around children, and started babysitting when I was in high school. I’m a warm and friendly person you can trust to take good care of your kid(s). I foster creativity with children through arts and crafts, legos, dancing, playing music and playing games. My experience in caring for children is with infants through school aged kids. I am CPR/AED and First Aid certified. I’m a non smoker with a clean driving record who lives a very healthy lifestyle I am interested in building long lasting relationships with families. My childcare expertise also lies in raising my daughter to become a successful and independent adult, and I do understand the challenges and rewards that parents face. I’m a graduate of San Francisco State University, where I majored in Business Administration with an emphasis in Marketing. I’m also able to help with homework, household chores and pet care. During my free time, I enjoy hiking, painting, reading and spending time with family and friends. Thanks for considering me! I’m looking forward to meeting you and your family soon.
