Booked by 1 family in Sausalito, CA

Hello families! My name is Sophie and I am 29 years old. I’m originally from Germany and live in the Marina with my husband. I‘m offering child care and household services which I have years of experience with. I enjoy taking care of kids and helping them throughout their daily activities. I am an Occupational Therapist and have been working with kids since I was a teenager. I was an Aupair (2[removed]) here in the Bay Area and loved being a part of my hostkids‘ (6 and 8 years old) daily life. I also have experience watching toddlers and taking care of babies through nannying jobs and family. I look forward to bringing support and joy to your home and making your life easier. See you soon, Sophie 😊 - Valid Green Card / Work authorisation - California Driver’s License since 2021

“Sophie was wonderful with our almost-3-year-old. Ollie took to her immediately, and they had a blast together at the park. She’s warm, attentive, and clearly experienced with little ones, and as a German speaker she was a great fit for our family. Communication was easy and she showed up right on time. We’re already booking her again and would recommend her without hesitation.”

Carolyn $35 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m a reliable, warm, and experienced caregiver with a background in childcare, pet care, and customer-focused roles. I am a single mother of 3 amazing adult children. I have experience caring for infants, toddlers, and young children, including feeding, playtime, bedtime routines, and creating a calm, safe environment. I’m attentive, patient, and love engaging kids with creative activities, outdoor time, and age-appropriate play. In addition to childcare, I’m very comfortable with pets (I’m a cat owner!) and happy to help with light household tasks like tidying up, meal prep, or organizing. I’ve worked in management roles, so I’m highly dependable, communicative, and detail-oriented—families can count on me to show up on time and follow instructions carefully. I’m currently looking for morning or part-time opportunities and would love to support a family who values a kind, responsible, and trustworthy sitter.
