HeLLO 👋 PARENTS! Nanny/Caregiver—55 years old, affectionate, energetic, and reliable—located in Marin County. HELLO, I'M MARIA! I have 29 years of experience in childcare. I began by working with children with special needs; they filled my life with such tenderness that I decided to remain in this field—continuing to learn and care for both babies and toddlers. Due to the pandemic, I stepped away from this work for a time, but I returned because it is what I truly love to do. I found a wonderful family with whom I have proudly worked for two years; they are kindly willing to provide recommendations regarding my character, my work ethic, and my dedication. My former employer of over 21 years is also available to provide references, as I am currently seeking a full-time position—should you be interested in care for your children or babies. SKILLS Creating engaging and educational activities. Maintaining a structured daily schedule. Managing various childcare responsibilities, such as baby laundry, organizing toys, handling the diaper pail, and washing dishes. Providing a positive and supportive environment. Maintaining open communication with parents throughout the day via photos. I always ask for guidance before taking action to avoid any misunderstandings. Preparing healthy and nutritious meals. EXPERIENCE • Over 28 years of experience caring for babies, children, and pre-teens. • CPR (Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation) Certified. • Fully vaccinated. • Clean background record (background check verified). • Licensed driver. • (BONUS) I am also a mother myself. ABOUT ME I am a fun, patient, and detail-oriented person. I assure you that your children will be in safe and capable hands. Watching children grow and develop their own sense of identity is a truly moving experience; I strive to provide your children with a healthy and stimulating childhood. I am committed to offering attentive care to your children and to building a strong, trusting relationship with my employers. :) have a beautiful amazing day🙏
“I know Maria for a very long time! She has always been caring, kind, punctual, respectful and very reliable. Maria has children of her own and she has always demonstrated a great balance between being a mommy and a nanny!”
Hi! I’m Vianca, a warm, caring, and dependable babysitter who genuinely enjoys spending time with children. I have experience caring for babies, toddlers, and young children, and I’m comfortable helping with their daily routines, including meals, diaper changes, naps, bath time, bedtime, and keeping them engaged and entertained. I’m patient, attentive, and I always want children to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I enjoy reading, playing, doing age-appropriate activities, spending time outdoors, and taking trips to the park or library when appropriate. I understand that every child and family has their own routine and preferences, so I’m happy to follow your instructions and adapt to what works best for your family. My goal is for parents to feel comfortable and confident knowing their children are in good hands. I’m currently looking for occasional and part-time babysitting opportunities and would love the chance to meet your family.
Hi! My name is Ally! I’m currently looking for ideally part time consistent work. To best align hours, I just wanted to preface I work a part time, remote job Monday through Thursday; 9:00am-1:00pm. I’ve been babysitting kids around my neighborhood for years now and regularly babysat my little cousin as he grew up! My responsibilities have included driving to and from activities/school/sports, as well entertaining/keeping them busy, supervising in general, and making meals/snacks. I’m also a very active outdoorsy person, so I’d be happy to keep the kids active on walks. Even trips to any close by parks. I’m a big animal person! So I would be love to help out in a home with cats or dogs. Happy to entertain/keep pets busy as well. I have experience petsitting of cats/dogs, for those that are looking for that. I’d be open to helping around the house jobs as well. From cleaning, tidying up, running errands, and cooking. I bring very clear communication to any job I take and want to provide the best care for whatever needs you and your family may need.
With over 20 years of experience caring for children of all ages, from infants to pre-teens, I offer a patient and friendly approach. I also have my own 13yo. I am comfortable caring for up to two children at a time. I will carefully follow your household rules. I am happy to engage in board games, puzzles, legos, pretend play and outdoor games that promote learning and physical activity. I prioritize open communication with parents, providing regular update, as requested. I am CPR and First Aid certified, formerly a Red Cross volunteer. I am an active community volunteer at my child's school and the library. I have a car and am comfortable with pets as we have a havapoo. I look forward to the opportunity to bring my experience and passion for childcare to your family.
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.

"McKenna was great with our 3 year old son! She came prepared with a box of fun activities and handled playing, dinner, and bedtime seamlessly... and it was all at our hotel while we were in town for a wedding. Thank you McKenna!"
