Booked by 2 families in Sausalito, CA

I am an experienced caregiver who enjoys interacting with children seeing the world through their eyes. I studied public health and have a masters in counseling psychology, with training working with children. I am also a distance runner who loves to explore the outdoors in my spare time. Recent work with young people also includes my work as a preschool teacher for toddlers ages 2-5 years old. I also have experience in elder care and pet care. I love making life easier for families and am open to other ways to do that, including cooking and cleaning while you spend time with your children as you'd like to!

“Amazing with children, responsible, self-motivated and personable. Our family is so fortunate to benefit from Tory's expertise and we trust her implicitly.”

I am from Marin County and graduated from UC Santa Cruz. I currently live in Russian Hill. I am very clean, reliable, responsible and trustworthy. Kids and animals love me! I love caregiving because I have a compassionate heart. I am open to caring for children of all ages, including infants. I love cats and I have one of my own. I love making art and would love to help your kids with crafts or art projects. I love being outside in nature as well and I am happy to take the kids to the park.

“Lilja was wonderful and we would happily have her babysit again!”

Booked by 3 families in Sausalito, 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 :)

Booked by 1 family in Sausalito, CA

I have worked in early childhood education for over 8 years. I am a mother of two children. I love working with children, I have BA degree in Early Childhood Education, teacher's permit and CPR and first aid certification. I am committed to creating a safe, healthy, inclusive, and multicultural learning environment. I focus on teamwork and building good relationships with children and parents, becoming an indispensable partner in children's learning and growth and a trustworthy partner for families. I can speak Mandarin, Cantonese, and English. I am a new member of UrbanSitter and look forward to working with you and your child.

“We feel fortunate for our children to be under the care of Angel. She is truly a professional and my toddler immediately took to her. I’ve never seen anything like it. Every time she comes to our house she brings something new and interesting. I feel like her time with our children isn’t just about watching them but is also about enriching and educating them. On top of that she’s prompt and an excellent communicator. I sincerely appreciate her so much and think any family would be lucky to work with her. ”
