Booked by 18 families in Napa, CA

HI! My name is Mariane, 34 years old. I have my own car and don’t mind driving to the job, max 30 miles distance. I have experience with all ages, from newborns to teenagers. I'm fun and communicative, the kind of babysitter that really sits and play with the kids. I like to find fun activities, like arts&crafts, coloring, or some learning activity. I can help with homework, pick up from school, drive to activities, watch them for a date night or just give you a little break when need it (we all need it right?). I also know how and love to swim! If you have any questions, please feel free to text me, I'm looking forward to work with you!

Booked by 3 families in Napa, CA

Hello, I look forward to meeting your family and pets. I have experience with giving care for 1-9 year olds. I have 2 nieces ages 2 and 5 years old, so I have changed many diaper, planned outdoor activities, and made their day with less screen time. I have personal experience with raising, training, and caring for dogs. I am a masters of nursing student so my time may be limited due to school, but I would love to spend any free time I have babysitting for any family members.

“Tina helped keep an eye on our little one during a family party at the park. It was a unique situation but Tina was game for the challenge. Very communicative, sweet, and flexible!”
