A little bit about me
Hi neighbors! 🤍 I’m a mom to a fun and active 4-year-old, and I’m looking to connect with a family who may be interested in a shared nanny / babysitting arrangement.
I’m available to care for another child during the day, and once my son is out of school, he would join us for the afternoon. My idea is to create a fun, comfortable environment where the kids can play together, do age-appropriate activities, read, have snacks, and enjoy some outdoor time while being supervised and cared for.
I have 8+ years of experience with childcare and genuinely enjoy creating a safe, engaging, and nurturing environment for kids.
📍 Novato & surrounding Marin
⏰ Flexible daytime/afternoon schedule
👦 Ideally looking for a family who is comfortable with my 4-year-old joining us for part of the afternoon.
If this sounds like something that could work for your family, I’d love to connect and talk about the details! 🤍

I absolutely love working with kids and being able to provide care and help to families with a lot on their plate. When with kiddos I like to keep things calm, entertaining, and child-led. I prioritize outdoor time, love reading books, singing songs, and playing any sort of game we can come up with!
