Dear families, I love being around children, and started babysitting when I was in high school. I’m a warm and friendly person you can trust to take good care of your kid(s). I foster creativity with children through arts and crafts, legos, dancing, playing music and playing games. My experience in caring for children is with infants through school aged kids. I am CPR/AED and First Aid certified. I’m a non smoker with a clean driving record who lives a very healthy lifestyle I am interested in building long lasting relationships with families. My childcare expertise also lies in raising my daughter to become a successful and independent adult, and I do understand the challenges and rewards that parents face. I’m a graduate of San Francisco State University, where I majored in Business Administration with an emphasis in Marketing. I’m also available to help with homework, household chores and pet care. During my free time, I enjoy hiking, painting, reading and spending time with family and friends. Thanks for considering me! I’m looking forward to meeting you and your family soon.

“Sara was kind, friendly and professional. She was punctual and easy to contact. She cared so much about making sure our baby was happy and well attended to. We would be grateful to have Sara babysit again!”

Hi, my name is Allison and I am 29 years old. I currently have a full time job at Marin Health Medical Center, so I am babysitting whenever I can. I graduated from Dominican University of California in May of 2019 with a degree in Biology. Before I attended Dominican I went to Terra Linda High School and Mark Day, so I am a Marin local. Aside from my schooling, I like to travel, surf, play soccer, spend time with my family and friends, bake and more. I have been babysitting for several years and I have had experience with children of all ages. I love babysitting because I love watching children develop and grow and be someone that they feel they can count on and trust. Please reach out if you have any questions!
