Zorana 5 reviews
$35 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 3 families in San Rafael, CA

Hi! I’m Zorana! I’m an experienced nanny and family assistant in Marin and have worked with kids of all ages over the years. I’m also a mom myself, so I know how important it is to have someone you trust with your kids. I’m currently looking for evening and date-night babysitting, either occasionally or on a regular basis. I’m happy to help with dinner, playtime, baths and bedtime—whatever makes the evening easier. I’m reliable, easygoing and comfortable stepping into your family’s normal routine.

“Zorana was great and our girls had so much fun with her! She was able to accept a job almost at the last minute, which was a huge lifesaver, and she came prepared with games and fun! She jumped right into playing and talking with the girls, and we came home a few hours later to sleeping children and no signs of a mess to pick up later. Thank you, Zorana!”

Booked by 6 families in San Rafael, CA

I have worked in the professional nanny industry for close to fifteen years. Before that, I worked as an occasional babysitter and camp counselor. I’m certified in first aid and infant/child/adult CPR. I have an undergraduate degree in interdisciplinary studies (social science concentration) from The Catholic University of America. As well as a graduate certificate in human services from Wilmington University. I’m a patient and empathetic person. I think children have a contagious sense of wonder and happiness. They truly make the world a better place. I’m currently looking for occasional babysitting jobs outside my regular nanny position. I look forward to hearing from you!

Booked by 3 families in San Rafael, CA

Hello, my name is Jocelyn, and I am 26 years old. I bring extensive experience in educational settings, having worked in both elementary and middle schools over several years. I’m also dedicated and experienced with many years of working closely with infants. Over the years, I’ve gained a deep understanding of infant care, from feeding and diapering to establishing healthy sleep routines and providing nurturing, age- appropriate interaction. I am attentive, patient and always focused on creating a safe, loving environment where your little one can feel secure and thrive. Whether you’re looking for support during those early newborn months or dependable daily care, you can trust that your baby will be in capable and caring hands with me. Currently, I am employed at a middle school, where I am dedicated to fostering students' academic and social development. In addition to my educational background, I offer professional caregiving services for children and pets. I am CPR-certified and committed to maintaining a safe and secure environment for those in my care. Safety is my top priority, and I am well-prepared to respond calmly and effectively to any emergency situations. Growing up in a household with dogs, I developed a deep understanding of animal care and responsibility. My commitment to the well-being of both children and pets reflects my dependable and compassionate approach to caregiving. I am fluent in both English and Spanish, which allows me to communicate effectively with families from diverse backgrounds. I am available throughout the summer and on weekends to assist with childcare, pet care, or other household needs. Additionally, I am happy to provide transportation to appointments or help with errands as needed, ensuring all tasks are handled with care and attentiveness. My current role at the middle school in the mornings continues until June 19th, after which I am fully available for summer opportunities. I am available now for afternoon care. I look forward to working with your family and providing the exceptional care you deserve in a safe and nurturing environment.
