Booked by 1 family in Sausalito, CA

I'm an enthusiastic, experienced caregiver who loves to play games / go outside with the children, as well as help them with arts and crafts, homework or any other academic or creative endeavors! I consistently babysat for 4 different families in Marin from 2[removed], only stopping because I got a full time job on the east coast in 2019 after graduating from Boston University. I regularly babysat for the Zirkle family, who had two children (aged 6 and 8), the Violet family who had 3 children (4, 7 and 10), the Smith family who had twins (3), and the Wilson family with one son (3). I also helped with two infants for two months (4-6 months old). For all of these families I would cook meals, read stories and play games, assist with homework, change diapers, and manage all aspects of a dinner / feeding and nighttime routine. I also cared for all pets owned by the families (both dogs and cats), walking them and feeding them as well. I am also comfortable assisting with late night and overnight stays!

“Isabella was a very sweet sitter! Our children were both napping most of the time but upon arrival she made quick friends with our daughter who is normally shy around sitters. Isabella was also very attentive to our 6 month old son and gave him his bottle and played with him. She also helped us with some light household chores. She did a terrific job and we look forward to working with her again! ”

Laura $30 per hour for 1 child

- Looking for one time or occasional jobs. Hi! I'm Laura, 26, from Brazil. I'm new to this app but not to childcare! I've been working with children since 2020, when I started teaching (over 9, 000 hours of experience). I've cared for kids of all ages, volunteered with underprivileged children, and worked as an au pair in the U. S., caring for a toddler, a 7-year-old girl, and twin boys. I'm very organized, responsible, and energetic, kids naturally match my energy! I love keeping them active and creative through arts & crafts, story time, baking, outdoor play, and learning activities. I'm CPR & First Aid certified, a good swimmer and driver, and a confident cook who can follow any recipe. I speak Portuguese (native), English (fluent), and Spanish (conversational). I'm always punctual and communicative. I want parents to feel comfortable and know their children are in good hands.

Hi! My name is Vitória, but everyone calls me Vivi. I’m currently based in the Bay Area and I’m offering child care, pet care and householdcare. I have experience with children of various ages. In my home country, I worked in a school caring for and supporting young children in their daily routines, learning, and play. Here in the US, I have two years of daily experience caring for children, and it's something I truly love. I'm patient, responsible, and always ready to create a fun, safe, and loving environment for the little ones. I also have experience caring for pets, such as walking dogs and helping with their daily needs, always making sure that the pets feel safe, happy, and comfortable. I'm patient, responsible, very affectionate and always ready to create a fun, safe, and loving environment for the little ones. If you're looking for someone reliable, caring, and proactive, I'd love to connect!
