Sarala $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.

Melissa $26 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Melissa, and I am a Biology (Pre-Med) student at Dominican University of California. Caring for others has always been an important part of my life, and I genuinely enjoy helping people of all ages feel safe, supported, and cared for. I have over 7 years of childcare experience through babysitting family members, friends' children, and helping care for my younger siblings. I have experience with children ranging from newborns to teenagers and am comfortable assisting with bottle preparation, feeding, diaper changes, meal preparation, homework help, bedtime routines, and engaging children in fun and educational activities. I enjoy building positive relationships with children and creating an environment where they feel comfortable, encouraged, and valued. In addition to childcare, I currently work as a caregiver for older adults through CareYaya. In this role, I provide companionship and support to seniors experiencing dementia, memory loss, visual impairments, mobility limitations, and other age-related challenges. My responsibilities include meal preparation, light housekeeping, mobility assistance, safety supervision, companionship, and helping clients maintain their daily routines. This experience has strengthened my patience, communication skills, responsibility, and ability to remain calm and compassionate in a variety of situations. I am also a huge animal lover and have a cat of my own. Pets have always been an important part of my life, and I am comfortable caring for cats, dogs, and other household pets. Whether it's feeding, walking, playtime, or simply providing companionship. So I can assure you, your pets will be deeply cared for with me. Families often describe me as kind, dependable, patient, and attentive. I understand the trust that comes with caring for a child, senior, or pet, and I take that responsibility seriously. My goal is always to provide a safe, positive, and supportive environment while giving families peace of mind that their loved ones are in good hands. I look forward to meeting new families and providing whatever help I can. Digital Portfolio: [removed]

Hi families! I’m Fernanda a warm, reliable, and creative nanny based in Sausalito. I currently care for two wonderful girls (ages 7 and 9) and offer occasional babysitting for other families in the Bay Area. I have a background as a pediatric nutritionist, which helps me support children’s health, learning, and routines in a fun and balanced way. I’ve also worked as a youth leader, planning educational and recreational activities so I love keeping kids active, curious, and happy! Families describe me as patient, trustworthy, and full of positive energy. I always make sure children feel safe, loved, and have fun while their parents are away. I’m also comfortable driving, helping with homework, or caring for pets. If you’re looking for a dependable sitter who brings both care and creativity, I’d love to meet your family! 💛
