Hello, My name is Kayla! I‘m a soon to be college graduate, the eldest of 12 children and I’m currently a Wildlife Technician working in Animal Conservation. I have over a decade of professional babysitting experience, including kids of all ages and backgrounds. I am responsible, I have my own transportation and I have references available on request. I have worked in after school programs, educational summer camps, given scientific inquiry tours and have plenty of experience working with and supervising children. *Disclaimer* I base my wages off what the parents can afford. Please tell me what your caretaking budget is and we can work something out!

Kayla was so great for our dude! She listened to everything we said, was very non judge mental and accepted and followed through with our instructions, kept in contact and made us feel so relaxed! So glad we found Kayla, if we’re ever in the area again we’ll be calling you!

Hello families! My name is Zoë Alexandrou, age 23 and I recently moved to Arcata, CA. I’m currently looking to connect with families in need of childcare, nanny support, or assistance in a nature-based daycare setting. I’ve spent much of my life working with children, including over a year at a nature daycare school caring for children ages 1–5. Alongside that, I’ve done individual nanny work and partially raise my 10-year-old sister, which has given me a deep understanding of both early childhood care and family dynamics. I’m passionate about helping children explore and learn through nature, creativity, and connection. I value teaching kids important life skills like conflict resolution, mindfulness, and cooperation while encouraging free thinking, curiosity, and self-expression through art, dance, and song. My goal is to create a safe, nurturing, and imaginative environment where each child can grow confidently and authentically. Please reach out if you feel I can support your family home, daycare or nature school! 408-318-1116 Zoealexandrou1738@yahoo.com Thank you 🙂

Hi! I'm Sophie :) I am free every evening. I am available after 6 p.m. on Mon Wed Sat & Sun, and after 3 p.m. on Tues and Thurs. I'm open all day Fridays. Ages 1-4 are my favorite to work with! Such fun ages. I enjoy participating in imaginative play, arts and crafts, and outdoor exploration. I keep up with light housekeeping, and am available for pick-up drop offs. I've been working with children for the past year, starting in Eureka (working with ages 6-18 months) from August to December of last year, and since then I've been babysitting in my free evenings. I also work at the TB and have been for the past two years. I'm working on my degree in Fine Arts for Transfer at College of the Redwoods. I plan to finish my bachelor's in early childhood development. Thanks for reading and for your consideration!

I love being a sitter because I am a very family oriented individual and love caring for children. I connect 1 on 1 with children and get to know them the best as I can, therefore, I know how to care for them. I mostly have experience with taking care of toddlers. The skills I have are reading books, preparing food, teaching simple things such as words, driving to the playground or to run errands, cleaning, caring for pets, and so much more.
