$30 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 3 families in San Anselmo, CA

I have over 15 years of experience in taking care of children in various capacities - from occasional/regular part-time babysitting shifts, working as an elementary school health and wellness coordinator (teaching physical education to grades K-5th, nutrition and student leadership), and providing health promotion education to children and families in my current full-time job in the Public Health field. Since I can remember, I’ve always enjoyed and appreciated the opportunities I have to help children learn and develop their skills, values and confidence. I speak Spanish, enjoy to exercise with groups/outdoors, and appreciate musicals/theatre. I currently live in Central Marin and appreciate learning more about your child care needs over the phone :)

Ana $22 per hour for 1 child

Hello, my name is Ana and I’m currently a senior at Dominican University of California. I am offering child care, pet care, senior care, and household I love being a babysitter and have worked with kids ages 1-15. My responsibilities have included driving to/from school, crafts, tutoring, and meal cooking. I also work as a household assistant and can cook, clean, and run errands. I have been a caretaker for my own father who suffered from a stroke in 2021 and left him completely paralyzed from the right side of his body, so I am comfortable with senior care. I can cook, drive to appointments, or do other tasks. I have 2 cats and 2 dogs of my own, so I am more than happy to work with families that have cats and dogs. I am also more than happy to take dogs out for walks and to appointments if needed!

$33 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in San Anselmo, CA

Hi! My name is Kaelin. I was born and raised in Marin County. I come from a family of five children and have been providing childcare for 12 years. I have experience caring for children of all ages, from newborns to high school students. I’m kind, patient, reliable, and enjoy creating fun, age-appropriate activities while maintaining a calm and safe environment. I’ve worked as a nanny, helping with homework, driving to and from after-school activities, preparing meals, and assisting with light household tasks. Growing up in a large family taught me how to adapt easily, communicate well, and always lend a helping hand. I am currently an English teacher, which has strengthened my communication skills, patience, and ability to support children’s learning and development. I’m very passionate about providing a safe, supportive, and engaging environment for children. I’d love to connect and see if I’d be a good fit for your family. I’m also comfortable with all animals.
