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!

Knowing that play is the best learning method and that playing is the best way to live, I'm someone convinced that the best way to learn and live is through play. With a background and involvement with children for many years thanks to my parents' businesses (kindergarten), I lived and learned through play, and that's when my passion for playing and interacting with children was born. Now, professionally, I've been working with children for about a year (4Cs Sonoma County) and to better develop my work, I have certifications: - First Aid - CPR Training - Mandated Report - California Food Handler - Teaching Pyramid - 3 units in Child Development Classes These courses and my daily work have given me the ability to understand, connect, and easily interact with children. 707-242-4147

We had the pleasure of having Ximena watch our kids a few weeks ago, and they absolutely loved her! She communicates very well and has such a pleasant, positive energy around the kids. She kept them engaged and entertained throughout the evening, which allowed my wife and me to truly enjoy our date night knowing they were in good hands. We definitely recommend Ximena and will absolutely be calling her again soon!

Hello, my name is Maria. I’m 19 years old. I have lived in Marin County all my life. I have been taking care of children since I was about 13 years old, and I’ve found joy in making a difference in their lives. I am energetic and outdoorsy, so keeping up with your little ones will be no problem! I am currently employed in the childcare facility at The Bay Club, but with my extra free time I’d love to be added help to your family.

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!

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!

Skylar V.

Hello, my name is Skylar. I am a recent graduate of Cornell College with a car, originally from Marin, California and am looking for some part time work in addition to my full time job. I have been babysitting since I was in the seventh grade. I have five nieces and nephews currently ranging from age 4-12, additionally for two years I ran a preschool from ages 3-7 during covid-19. I love children and cannot wait to have some of my own. I am not shy to educational activities, arts and crafts or watching a movie before bed. This will now be my fifth year in the area. Many call me the baby whisperer as the kiddos are content while fast asleep. If you cannot reach me leave a message at 415-302-5824.

Skylar took care of my three kids (ages 9 months, 3, and 4.5) so we could have a date night. She was an excellent communicator and the kids were all happy, healthy, fed, and sound asleep when we got home. Would definitely recommend Skylar and use her again!

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!

Pilar Z.
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!

Hi! My name is Damaris, and I have several years of experience caring for children of all ages. I’ve babysat for friends and family and have worked in childcare for an after-school program for the past 4 years. I worked in special education, which has strengthened my patience, empathy, and ability to support children with different needs. I genuinely love creating meaningful bonds with kids and being someone they feel safe, comfortable, and happy around. I believe children deserve to have their feelings heard and validated, and I strive to provide the kind of care I would have wanted as a child—full of understanding, encouragement, and fun. I’m CPR certified and prioritize safety at all times. I enjoy keeping kids engaged through arts and crafts, creative play, and activities that allow them to express themselves while having fun. I’m reliable, caring, and passionate about providing a positive and nurturing environment for every child in my care.
