Booked by 4 families in Sausalito, 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. ”

Hi! My name is Gina, and I’m from Colombia. I’m looking for extra babysitting opportunities. I’m a responsible, respectful, and loving person who truly enjoys helping families and caring for children. Currently, I take care of twin 2-year-olds and their siblings of 4 and 7 years old. I have experience caring for children of different ages — from infants to school-aged kids. In Colombia, I worked with two children, aged 8 and 1, which gave me valuable experience with different developmental stages. I enjoy doing activities such as arts and crafts, reading, outdoor play, and helping with routines. My daily tasks include cooking for the kids, school pick-up, laundry, organizing play areas, and assisting with nap and bedtime routines. I offer child care, and pet care. I also love animals! I have pets myself and I’m very comfortable around dogs and cats. I can help with walking, feeding, and playing with your pets if needed.
“Yinna was prompt and patient with our almost 3 year old. ”
