“Super reliable and professional- I’d definitely hire her again!”
Hi! I have over 10 years of experience caring for children of all ages, from babies to teens. I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Education and have worked as an elementary school teacher. I’m patient, responsible, and truly enjoy spending time with kids. I’m also comfortable driving and can help with pick-ups, drop-offs, and activities.
“Fernanda has been an amazing babysitter for our family. She is warm, dependable, and truly wonderful with children. Our 5-year-old connected with her immediately and is always excited when she comes over. She has such a calming presence, and bedtime always went much better when she was here. We also really appreciated that she speaks Spanish, since our child is currently learning the language. It was such a great opportunity for extra practice in a fun and comfortable environment. I would absolutely recommend her to any family looking for a caring, trustworthy, and attentive babysitter.”
Hello! My name is Kayla. I am 27 years old and am studying to become a kindergarten teacher and have been currently been working at a Montessori preschool for the past 2 years. I love hiking, playing games, cooking, and doing any sorts of crafts. Previous jobs have included being a nanny for triplets plus one. The children's ages were 9 (triplets) and 7. Some of the activities included cleaning up, doing laundry, playing with the children, driving them to and from camp or to the park as well as feeding them three times a day and putting them to bed. I also was a recurring babysitter for 2 boys aged 10 and 8, activities in that job included playing video games/board games, playing baseball or basketball, and feeding them. In addition, I also have experience working at a day care. There I worked with children ranging in ages from infants to 12 years of age. The job had entailed cleaning, feeding, and changing the children and playing with them. I really enjoy working with children and getting on their level. I like to hear the interesting things they say and their unique perspectives. I look forward to working with your family!
Hello , let me introduce myself. My name is Waldineia. I have two boys of my own, which one of them is 25 years old and the younger who is 15 years old. I used to be a pre-school teacher in my home town in Brasil. I have been living in Marin county for 25 years. Since then, I have been working as a nanyny. I have a lot of experience working with infants ( twins), toddler, and children almost any age. I like to explore nature and do outside activities with them. I always treat the children with respect and caring as they were my own. I’m passionate to being around them. I love watching young minds grow and learn. Looking forward to providing your family care and support.
“Wal has been babysitting our 3 kids (ages 6, 4, and 6 months) the past few months - she is always reliable, patient, and very trustworthy. We are so lucky we found her - the kids absolutely love her! ”
Hello. I am an experienced babysitter/child-caregiver. I am 26 and grew up in San Rafael, Ca. Please read ahead for more information: I have experience from working as a babysitter in high school, and now continue to be able to work some evenings and days I have off from my other job. I previously worked at Opportunity for Indepence, as a direct support professional (Living Skills Instructor). As I mentioned, I have babysat for some families in my community and families I have met through UrbanSitter. I am supportive, creative, and responsible. I have learned to work in different environments and usually find it easy to learn and adapt quickly. I have many siblings and have learned patience through my experience of being with my siblings. The youngest one is 5 years and the oldest is 21 now. My brother is older! I also have volunteered with youth organizations such as, Boys and Girls Club of Marin and Opening the World. I am enthusiastic about learning new things and teaching, especially when it is focused on technology, literacy, and languages. I enjoy reading books, having fun (playing & dances), and also other creative activities. Thank you for your time. Happy and well day!
