San Anselmo

Booked by 17 families in Woodacre, CA

Hi parents! I’ve been in United States since 2019. I came as an au pair and now I’m a college student. All this time I had the pleasure of taking care of kids from different ages: 8 months to 12 years. With the kids I like to read books, paint, play, take them to parks or different places if the parent is comfortable. I’m a person that is very patient, calm, respectful and trustworthy.

Karen was very friendly and professional, our daughter really enjoyed her! We would definitely hire her again.

Booked by 26 families in Woodacre, CA

CPR and First Aid certified. Currently working full time at a Preschool in Fairfax. Associate Preschool Teacher degree with 12 ECE units. I can usually respond within one or two hours.. Patient, calm, ready to play and be of service! Originally from Toronto, I live in Fairfax and have been in the Bay Area for 15 years. My experience looking after children started in the 70’s with my own baby brother, babysitting throughout my teenage years, a young step-son and more recently my teaching work at a Preschool. I love being with all kids and playing, helping with homework, reading, art, languages and piano. I look forward to hearing from you!

Alexandra and our son had a blast - he took to her immediately. Her warmth and interest in getting to know him was an instant hit for us :) we can’t wait to have Alexandra over to play again!

Juliana San Rafael
$40 per hour for 1 child

Hi families! My name is Juliana, and I’m a caring, experienced, and highly reliable childcare provider with almost 10 years of experience working with children from 2 months old to 3+ years old. I was an au pair for 2.5 years and never went through a rematch. I also have over 2 years of nanny share experience and have cared for babies starting at 4 and 5 months old, supporting them through important developmental stages into toddlerhood. At the moment, I’m looking for overnight childcare opportunities for specific situations, such as events, date nights, weekend trips, or times when parents need extra support. I’m available for weekend overnights, for example from Friday night to Sunday, as well as weekday overnights from around 6:00 PM to 6:00 AM. I also have overnight experience caring for a family with three older children, ages 16, 14, and 12, so I’m comfortable providing overnight support for both younger children and older kids. One family trusted me enough to travel to Mexico for a full week while I stayed with and cared for their baby. I would be happy to provide references upon request. I’m confident with infant and toddler routines, including feeding, naps, diapering, bedtime, play, and emotional support. Families often describe me as trustworthy, patient, calm, and genuinely devoted to the children in my care. I truly love what I do and take pride in creating a safe, loving, and nurturing environment where children feel happy and deeply cared for.

Sarala Fairfax
$25 per hour for 1 child

Hi my name is Sarala! Right now I am looking for summer babysitting jobs before I head off to college. I am mainly looking for part-time child care work, but I am also able to run errands and drive children. I am extremely organized and can do "mothers helper" tasks to make your house run smoothly. I have extensive experience with kids. My previous jobs with kids include being a babysitter, a nanny, an assistant teacher at a preschool and a camp counselor. Some of my favorite things to do with kids include art projects, baking, and going to the park. I have my own dog and am super comfortable around them. I have experience with dog walking as well.
