Booked by 4 families in Ross, CA

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.

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!

Booked by 4 families in Ross, CA

Hi, I’m Quinlan and I have been enjoying babysitting for over 6 years. I moved to California from Chicago after college to pursue a career in outdoor education. Through my experience in childcare, I have worked with children of all ages including infants, and children with developmental and/or physical disabilities. In my free time, you might find me hiking, doing yoga, eating ice cream, or volunteering at the Marine Mammal Center. I am always excited to help out parents and get to know kids even if it means just for a night, morning, or even homework help! I am fully vaccinated and have a reliable car.

“Quinlan is such a rare gem! We are so grateful to have met her. She is able to connect and attune with our toddler in ways others can only dream of. We love how much our toddler has fun and engages with Quinlan and that’s because of the type of care and energy she brings to caregiving. ”
