Booked by 1 family in Sausalito, CA

Greetings, my name is Madisen. I am Currently a College Of Marin student majoring in Business. I recently took a class in Psychology for child and development and instantly fell in love with the class. I learned a lot when it comes to the development of children overtime as well as the importance of child psychology. My experience working with children began in 2017 when I decided to baby-sit many families kids in the Bay Area. I also worked at a daycare in 2020 for many months to gain more experience in taking care of kids from ages 4 to 13. I really enjoyed being in such a wonderful environment and working with kids. Furthermore, I am licensed and have a reliable car. I speak both English and Spanish fluently , I am also very responsible, patient and creative but best of all I love playing with children! A little bit about myself is that in my spare time I like to play soccer, bake, and spend time with my family. Thank you so much for taking the time to read this letter. I look forward in hearing from you and getting to know your kiddos!

“Kids had a great time with Madisen. Will for sure have her back.”

Hi! I’m Kailiti and I am a preschool teacher! I’m also a recent grad of Stanford University, where I studied linguistics and education. I’m offering childcare and household services. Working with children brings me a lot or joy and I’ve been in childcare and education jobs for the past eight years, including as a science teacher in schools, a summer camp counselor, and of course as a babysitter! I am comfortable working with children ages 2mo-12yrs and I also have experience working with children with high support needs, including children with autism and neurodevelopmental disabilities. I love to facilitate imaginary play and outdoor activities as well as arts and crafts, and I am also happy to help with homework! I also cook, clean, do laundry, and can run errands. If needed, I can drive for dropoffs/pickups. I am also a nationally registered Emergency Medical Technician!

Booked by 3 families in Sausalito, CA

Hi, I’m Lisa! I have over six years of experience caring for children of all ages, from infants to teens. I’ve worked as a preschool teacher, a special education aide, and a babysitter for many families. My experience includes preparing meals, driving to appointments and extracurriculars, helping with homework, bedtime routines, and providing support with daily needs like feeding, bathing, and toileting. I value compassion, patience, and play in every interaction. I love pretend play, building, dolls, reading stories, arts and crafts, and exploring nature with kids. I’m not afraid to get silly and believe children thrive when they feel safe, seen, and joyful. I’m also experienced with pet care! I currently help care for two cats and an elderly dog by giving medication, going for walks, and providing lots of affection. I grew up with both large and small dogs, so I’m comfortable with pets of all sizes. Families can count on me to be dependable, nurturing, and fun while keeping your little ones safe and happy.

My interests span a wide range, from reading books, singing, and crafting, to face painting, playing ,engaging in sports, and dancing. I'm passionate about following children's lead and fostering their imaginations. In addition to nurturing children, I'm here to lend a hand to parents with household chores.

References from families in the Bay Area can vouch for my commitment and skills. I'm bilingual, a creative spirit, and known for my positive and cheerful personality. Safety is paramount, and I hold CPR training and have received COVID-related vaccinations. Thank you for taking the time to get to know me. I'm excited about the opportunity to collaborate with you and build strong relationships with parents and their families for future occasions. Plus, I offer face painting services for those special moments! 😉 Once again, thank you for considering me, and I look forward to connecting with you soon!❤️

“Natalia was a fantastic sitter for my 6 year old twins. She has a lot of energy and so many ideas for games to play and crafts to make. She kept them busy all day, both at home and at the nearby playground. We will definitely hire her again! ”
