I hired Linda very last minute to help care for my 8 month old infant when my usual arrangement fell through. She was very responsive and easy to coordinate with. Linda asked all the right questions and was on time. I felt very much at ease with her taking care of my baby and could focus on work, knowing he was in good hands. I could tell Linda truly enjoys being around children because she was warm, engaging and very attuned to my baby's needs. Any family would be lucky to have her services!

Madeline G., Babysitter in San Rafael, CA 94901 with 26 years of paid experience

Hello Parents! I live with passion and I share a great deal of it within the scope of my compassion when caring for children and getting the opportunity to be a part of family/families in caregiving. Youth have been a part of my life in some capacity for nearly moving into 26 years. Notably, I have cared in the private caregiving sector consistently for the past ~13 years in SF (native, Bay Area-San Mateo- SJ-East Bay-Peninsula with experience working within those areas). My experience ranges from Infants/toddlers are my specialty. Experience with share, multiples, twins, and special need care in the classroom/clincial, 1:1 in home (ASD/ABA therapy trained Behavior Technician Paraprofessional). I enjoy incorporating my love for music training/painting, health education (PH) background and incredible joy for the outdoors while working with youth. I consider myself loyal, honest, dedicated, giving, loving, consistent, confident, patient, reliable and kind. I love to laugh and smile, value healthy communication and reach far beyond my responsibilities. I view my part as a nanny/caregiver is such like a village with a family/families and I hope I can find a new family/families that would humbly know how special your children/child would be in my life, on a daily basis. I have a wealth of unconditional love to give children and as a nanny I’m honored to be able and share it amply, able to assist in as a step in parent, and part teacher as well. I practice positive parenting methods, strong subscriber to 100% limited to no-screen time which stem from my Montessori roots. I enjoy play based learning, inside and out! Individual growth is the best! I am extremely knowledgeable of amazing resources (no cost and many others across the scale) all across SF neighborhoods (including the Peninsula and South Bay extremely well) to fully provide and assist to foster children so they blossom into their own individual, special selves. “Assist in bringing out their own colors.” Warmest Regards to your family, Madeline/Maddy

Maddy worked with us as a nanny full time for eight months until we transitioned our daughter into daycare. Maddy's affection and dedication to our infant daughter was obvious, and our daughter loved spending time with her. She was also very good about suggesting toys and other age-appropriate developmental activities, introducing new foods, assisting with child-proofing, and consistently reading to her. She was also very committed to cleanliness and hygiene; we still rely on many of the cleaning products that she introduced us to.

We've had a great experience with Rui. One can immediately feel she is a kind and caring person. She arrived on time and then, after we were back, provided a thorough feedback on how the day went. Our kids liked Rui a lot an were happy about their day with her.

Wendy worked full time for my family for 1 month this fall while we were in need of extra help. She is a lovely person who was eager to do a good job & was flexible to my family’s needs. Her responsibilities were: playing & watching my 3.5 year old son, feeding/burping my 4 month old daughter, changing diapers, stroller walks, washing bottles, preparing small children’s meals for my son, cleaning up toys, organizing toys, washing drying folding and putting away laundry, bathing & doing the nighttime routine for my son. Some of her strengths include: sweet & easygoing, trustworthy, energy to run around with toddler, flexible schedule, eager to do whatever is needed to make your life easier (offered to return packages for me & drive me places if needed). She has her drivers license & has a lot of experience driving + was willing to keep a car seat in her car for our son. Any family would be lucky to have her!

Charnette has been terrific to work with. She has baby sat our son multiple times starting when he was 9mo old (He's 2yo now). She really knows kids at that age and was able to connect with him quickly and overcame any stranger-danger. They clearly had a good time together and things went super smoothly. She is always quick at communicating and getting back to us and absolutely on time. We couldn't be happier.

Dania K., Babysitter in San Rafael, CA 94901 with 25 years of paid experience

Hello! I'm a dedicated childcare provider with over 25 years of paid experience, specializing in infant care and children from first grade and up. As a mother to a wonderful 20-year-old daughter, I understand firsthand the trust parents place in caregivers, and now that my own child is grown, I'm excited to share my passion for nurturing young minds. My previous family trusted me for 16 wonderful years until their children outgrew needing care, which speaks to my reliability and the meaningful relationships I build with families. I'm comfortable with all aspects of infant care including feeding, diaper changes, and sleep routines, and I love engaging elementary-age children with homework help and age-appropriate activities that encourage learning and creativity. I believe in creating a safe, nurturing environment where children feel secure and happy while maintaining open communication with parents about their child's day. My extensive experience means I can handle any situation with confidence and calm, and I'm committed to respecting each family's unique parenting style and household rules. I offer flexible scheduling to accommodate your family's needs and would love the opportunity to meet you and discuss how I can support your childcare needs. References available upon request.
