Carol M., Babysitter in Novato, CA 94947 with 15 years of paid experience

Hello! My name is Carol and I’m so excited at the prospect of working with you and your children. A little about myself: I was born and raised in San Francisco and lived in Denver and New York before moving back home. I have my Masters in Social Work and have held multiple positions working with children in a variety of settings and capacities. I have experience as a tutor, babysitter, after school program coordinator, school social worker, and child welfare caseworker. In my experience I’ve cared for ages ranging from infant to teenager. Working with children is a great passion of mine because I am inspired by their curiosity, joy, and sense of exploration. I’m also CPR certified. I look forward to the opportunity to meet and work with your family!

Jaidy G., Babysitter in Novato, CA 94947 with 1 year of paid experience

Hello! My name is Jaidy and I am 24 years old. I am a fresh and didactic mind for children. I have 9 years years of experience. I started this magnificent love for taking care of children since I was 15years old, it all started with the daughter of my neighbor doctor who had to leave me her baby since she was 3 months old and from there I began to take care of more and more children, the last time I took care of children was in October since I had to leave my family of a single mother and two girls, one 6 years old and the other 14 years old, I had to leave them because my residence came out and I had to move to this country. I AM VERY GOOD IN THE KITCHEN! I love cooking so that will not be a problem if you need me to cook for you, clean houses, wash clothes and everything that has to do with care and attention for the home. Just as I have thousands of positive attitudes, I have only one defect and that is that I currently do not speak English fluently, I know that I can manage to understand 20% but it is very difficult for me at the moment to be able to speak it. I am currently specializing in childcare, my part-time job is to be a teacher's assistant in an educational center for children, I am taking classes, I have the first aid course. I hope I can meet you soon ♥️

Jaidy took care of my 2 year old during a 3-day event. Great communication, very kind and caring, flexible and punctual. My son enjoyed the time with Jaidy very much, he was happy and relaxed. I’d definitely hire her again.

We wish there was an option to give Michelle a million stars. Michelle is warm, sweet and loving. Our daughter Lily screams for joy when she sees her at the door and asks for her constantly. Michelle has become such an important part of our baby's life as well as ours. She has the innate caring and protective nature of a parent. We trust her completely with our daughter's safety and development. Highly, highly recommended.

Hi :) My name is Melissa and I hope to be your potential sitter. I have A TON of experience (17 years) working with children from ages 2-20 years old.

Khen H., Babysitter in Novato, CA 94947 with 13 years of paid experience

Hi there! My name is Khen. I first began working with children when I was 16 years old. I was a nanny for many families in my community in Southern California. I was a preschool teacher for nearly ten years. I moved to Northern California 5 years ago when I got my first teaching job. I have taught first, second, and third grades over the past five years. I'm happy to help your children with homework and have plenty of experience with one on one tutoring. I love to spend time outdoors and would be happy to take your children outside to get those wiggles out. I'm to fill my schedule this summer, since it is my first summer not teaching summer school! I would love to meet with you and share more about my many experiences working with children (and pets too!). I look forward to hearing from you soon!

Khen was wonderful watching our toddlers on two separate occasions. She is an excellent communicator, punctual, and most importantly did an amazing job bonding with our little ones, despite their separation anxiety. We look forward to working with her again the next time we are in the area!

Lisa A., Babysitter in Novato, CA 94947 with 10 years of paid experience

Hi! I'm a 40-something, fully vaccinated, CPR certified, college graduate (UVM) looking for babysitting work. I'm looking to babysit because I'm amidst a career change and grad school and I need something flexible. A little about my experience: I have babysat and nannied since I was 13 years old. In Burlington, VT I nannied for 4 years for a family with 2 children, a 2-year old girl and a 7-year old boy. After college, I nannied for 2 years for a family in Fairfield, CT (where I'm from) with 2 children, a 3-year old daughter and a 6-year old son. Recently, I have babysat occasionally for a couple children and also have taken care of my 3-year old niece. In addition to those examples, I come from a big family so I have a lot of experience with children of all ages and needs. I'm flexible with duties and schedules, have my own car and am able to help with homework, sports, play dates, cooking, light housekeeping, errands, pets, etc. I've been told I'm good with kids and I certainly do love them. I wasn't able to have children myself so babysitting is the perfect way for me to connect with children and help the community out. Thanks for reading my profile. I look forward to hearing from you!

We call her visits playdates, even though she is actually babysitting. She is great at playing and making sure our toddler is enthused during their time together. She has been flexible and tries to be helpful to us. She keeps our kid stimulated and interacts with her naturally. She has been very helpful to us!

Alicia G., Babysitter in Novato, CA 94947 with 4 years of paid experience

Hi, my name is Alicia Gonzalez, and I’m excited to introduce myself and express my interest in babysitting. I’m a 24-year-old college student majoring in Sports Management. I worked at an elementary school as an after-school teacher for 3yrs, and I have over six years of experience working with children. I truly enjoy working with kids and love being part of their learning and growth. In addition to my school role, I also work as a soccer and baseball coach here in San Francisco, which has been incredibly rewarding. During high school, I had the opportunity to be a cabin leader, which further strengthened my passion for working with children. Outside of work, I enjoy playing soccer and baseball, spending time with pets, and going on hikes. I’m responsible, energetic, and genuinely love creating a fun, safe, and positive environment for kids. I would love the opportunity to support your family and care for your children!

I’m super close to having my Associates Degree in Early Childhood Education. I love children and have babysat many children, worked in multiple education programs at different age levels and even worked at a childcare that took place at a gym. My goal for children is for them to grow up strong, independent, smart (in their own way), and caring.
