Sabrina $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m Sabrina, and I have many years of experience caring for children in both professional and personal settings. I studied Child Development at COM and earned my BS in Kinesiology, which has given me a strong understanding of child development, movement, wellness, and the importance of keeping kids active in healthy and engaging ways. For 7 years, I've worked as a Lead Camp Counselor at Camp Coelho through the Epilepsy Foundation of Northern California, where I support and care for children with special needs in a safe, encouraging camp environment. I also worked as an alumni staff member with Marin Horizons After-School Center, helping create a positive and supportive space for children after school. In addition to my professional experience, I’ve been babysitting for local families in Mill Valley since I was a teenager. I genuinely love caregiving because I enjoy building trust with families and creating an environment where children feel safe, understood, and cared for. With my background in kinesiology, I also love incorporating fun activities, movement, and creativity into children’s routines to help keep them engaged and active. A little about me personally — I’m a creative and compassionate person who loves animals, art, gaming, and spending time outdoors. I value kindness, communication, and making meaningful connections with the families I work with.

Hi! Here's a little bit about me. I've had the joy of working with some amazing families over the years through babysitting, and I've also gained valuable experience as an after-school instructor and family advocate at a local elementary school. I'm currently in college, finishing up my degree in criminal justice. If there's anything else you'd like to know, I'd be happy to share. Thank you so much, and look forward to hearing from you soon!

Kyla $25 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Kyla. I’m a stay‑at‑home mom to two amazing little ones — a 2½‑year‑old boy and a 4‑month‑old. Because I care for them daily, I understand the rhythms, joys, and special care that infants and toddlers need. My son loves to read and definitely would love someone to play with! **Where & What I Offer** I babysit in my home, a spacious two‑story house with 2 bedrooms and a large living room. There’s ample room for play, rest, and a peaceful atmosphere. * I live in a nice, quiet neighborhood, which helps create a calm and safe environment for children. My experience with Different Age Groups* * Infants (0‑1 year): feeding, diaper changes, nap routines, comforting, responsive care. * Toddlers (1‑3 years): high energy, lots of hands‑on interaction, learning through play, helping develop new skills (walking, talking, basic potty training if parents request, etc.). * Young preschool age if needed: guided play, early learning skills like colors, shapes, storytelling. --- **Activities I Enjoy Doing with Children** * Story time, singing, simple crafts, imaginative play * Outdoor time when weather permits: going for walks, playing on my patio or nearby park * Learning through play: puzzles, building blocks, introducing colors, shapes, counting * Quiet time/routine time: naps, snack time, reading, soothing --- **Special Skills & Talents** * Home-cooked, kid‑friendly meals/snacks, (please let me know if you have any specific requests) * I can help with basic early learning: letters, numbers, language development * Creative activities: painting, drawing, crafts, music * If needed, homework help for older children **Rates & Policies** * My rate is **\$25 per hour per child**. * I believe in transparency and clarity — if there are additional tasks you’d like (special meals, tutoring, extra transportation, etc.), we can discuss those up front I believe children thrive when they feel safe, heard, and supported. I aim to nurture a warm, stable, engaging environment where little ones can learn, explore, and grow at their pace. I value open communication with parents so I can honor your routines, preferences, and expectations.

"We absolutely LOVE Isa — our family was so fortunate to have found her through UrbanSitter. I'm a first-time mom, and it took me a long time to find a full-time nanny I could trust to care for our sweet infant boy. Our boy connected with her immediately, and we couldn't have asked for anyone else to care for him. Her calming presence was also perfect for parents like us who work from home. We feel so lucky UrbanSitter helped us find someone who has truly become a part of our family."

"I was so stressed about finding a part-time nanny for my 14-month-old son, who has moderate separation anxiety and hadn't been left with anyone but family before, but we were both immediately at ease in Buhay's presence. Her empathy and commitment to understanding child development are apparent in every interaction I've witnessed between her and my toddler. I feel very lucky to have found her."

Kamilah W., mom of one

"Erna watched our now 5 year old daughter and 3 year old son for a few years. She is punctual, responsible, honest, and playful. What we appreciated most was that she was thoughtful in ensuring that we had a little break; for example, when the kids were clingy, she was able to divert their attention with games or songs or walks to the park. We felt very comfortable leaving our kids with Erna because of her caring nature and experience that spans a decade (including being a live-in nanny)."
