Find experienced babysitters in Angwin, CA

Hello! I have enjoyed babysitting, nannying, caregiving, and mothering over the course of most of my life. I began as a teen in my neighborhood and continued caring for children part-time while in college and working other jobs, right up until I had children of my own. My husband and I have raised four children, now adults and have flown the coop. I sincerely miss children! They are such a joy, so funny, curious, authentic, and precious. Because it was always very important to me to remain available and involved, mothering/homemaking was my main job during my children's growing years (for which I have no regrets)! I also have experience with developmentally disabled children, as I formerly worked with Easter Seals and Nolan Services. Now that I'm a young "empty nester," I find myself wanting to be involved with children again. I value a healthy lifestyle, which includes cooking and eating nutritiously, exercising, gardening, spending time with friends, and learning new things. I recently ended a caregiving job with a lady with Parkinson's, but because of an injury respite from physically demanding work became necessary. Presently I care for children on a part-time basis and have room for more part-time childcare. I also have experience caring for animals, including dogs, cats, chickens, and smaller creatures. I'd be honored to come alongside you to help with the most important task of caring for your greatest asset, your children. I am also willing to include light housework, cooking, organizing, caring for plants and animals, assisting with schoolwork, and errands. Sincerely, Catherine

With a love for nurturing and a passion for sparking creativity, I've spent immense amounts of time immersed in the joy and chaos of childcare. From counseling local programs to summer church activities, I've learned the value of fostering growth in young hearts and minds. Growing up in a bustling household, I've worn the hat of caregiver, especially for my sibling with special needs, instilling in me a deep sense of compassion and patience. My approach to childcare centers on safety, wellbeing, and open communication. I prioritize creating a secure environment where kids can explore, learn, and express themselves freely. Whether it's delving into art projects, exploring nature, or simply sharing stories, I aim to cultivate moments that ignite curiosity and imagination. My experiences have taught me the importance of clear and upfront communication with parents, ensuring trust and collaboration in the care journey. With me, families can feel confident knowing their little ones are not only cared for but cherished and encouraged to thrive in an environment that celebrates their unique personalities and interests.

Hi! I'm Sophia, and I love working with kids of all ages. I’ve been a preschool teaching assistant, an art instructor for youth ages 6–14, and I’ve worked at several summer camps, which gave me lots of hands-on experience with group care, play-based learning, and creative activities. I recently earned my MA in Counseling Psychology, and during graduate school, I interned at Side By Side, a nonprofit that supports youth ages 4–25 and their caregivers. That experience deepened my compassion, patience, and ability to support kids with a wide range of needs — in a way that’s always warm and non-judgmental. I’ve also worked as a college-level tutor, and bring that same thoughtful, encouraging energy to every childcare setting. Whether it’s imaginative play, homework help, or just keeping things calm and positive at home, I love getting to know each child as their own unique person. Looking forward to connecting!

Hello! My name is Annie and I am currently a student at The Culinary Institute of America. I’m from Salt Lake City, Utah and from the time I was 10, I’ve been a nanny to 4 different families consistently and a babysitter to countless of other families. I love kids and kids love me! I worked for my previous nanny family for 6 years and I look at them like my own kids. They were the hardest people to leave! I have a car and I am able to drive wherever is needed, I can cook, clean, help with homework, you name it! I look forward to meeting your family!

After college, I volunteered at two elementary schools. Here I helped students with their assignments. I have to say that art, creative writing, and outdoor time were my favorite activities with them. I saw that many students liked expressing themselves; whether it was in the form of painting, writing a poem, or drawing with chalk on the playground. I realized that children like it when you can teach them something in a creative way! I was able to further develop my teaching abilities when I worked at Footsteps, an afterschool elementary program. Working here allowed me to work with children in groups as well as one-on-one. For example, I would work with a group of students alongside the teacher. Other times I would sit with kids individually and help them with their homework. From the end of 2012 to October 2014 I worked as a temp nanny for different families through the agency Town & Country Resources. The kids were of various ages: I watched kids from 1 to 12 years old. My responsibilities were as follows: helping with homework, taking kids to the park, doing art, playing make-believe, dancing with kids, making light meals, and generally caring for and entertaining kids. During the 2014-15 school year, I worked in classes with high school students with mild learning disabilities. Although this job was challenging, I was able to further develop my teaching skills, working both individually and in groups with these student. Importantly, I learned to understand students' disabilities and where they needed support. More recently, I worked as a sub paraeducator—mostly with preschool students with mild speech delay.
