Find experienced babysitters in Calistoga, CA

Hi families! I bring a unique blend of experience as a school counselor, certified teacher, and dedicated nanny. With over 30 years working with children from early childhood through adolescence, I have a deep understanding of both their developmental needs and emotional well-being. As a school counselor, I specialize in creating safe, nurturing environments where children feel heard, supported, and confident. My teaching background means I'm great at planning engaging, educational activities tailored to each child’s age and interests—whether it’s reading, crafts, or outdoor play. I've also worked as a full-time and part-time nanny, so I'm very familiar with the day-to-day needs of busy families. I’m patient, energetic, and reliable—and I treat every child with the same level of care and respect I would want for my own. I’m CPR/First Aid certified and comfortable with routines, homework help, meal prep, and behavior guidance. I’d love to support your family in a way that works best for you—whether you need occasional care, after-school help, or a consistent, trustworthy sitter. Let’s connect!

I am a mom of two boys. Since I was 12 years old, I have been babysitting. I was a nanny for two families and simply put, I really love children. I have amazing references and would love the opportunity to help care for a young child between the ages of infancy and 5 years old. I was a working parent when my children were young so I can empathize with both working parents and children. I am joyful, patient, loving and kind. I will make your child a priority and engage him/her in fun activities such as reading, being outside, and experimenting in the kitchen. I am CPR/FIRST Aid certified.

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

I have babysat for many families over the years - for kids of all ages. I absolutely adore not only taking care of kids but being able to provide them with a nurturing, interactive, safe yet fun environment. Most recently, I was a part-time nanny for a sweet one-year-old girl and took care of her three days a week. In addition to making sure she was well-taken care, I helped out with housework such as cooking, cleaning/tidying, organizing, laundry and more. I'm more than happy to do anything needed since I understand how hard it can be for a family to balance everything. To my sadness, they moved to Greece but, of course, I'm incredibly happy for them My experience ranges from caring for infants to caring for autistic children. I've also taken care of multiple kids at once - like a family with a 4, 3, 2 and 1-year old, for one example. I first became a nanny while studying at UCLA and helped raise a wonderful two-year-old girl in Bel Air. For the next three and half years, I helped raise her - 5 days a week. Every single day we engaged in interactive and imaginative play, explored outside and worked on growing her overall knowledge of the world. I also worked at introducing various basic concepts like kindness and original thinking. I grew up in a family of educators and spent many of my early years in my mother's and sister's classrooms helping their students. For me, every moment with a child is an opportunity to help expand their minds and grow as an individual. Post-UCLA and after another year of nannying, I left California to serve in the Peace Corps as an Education Volunteer in Burkina Faso, West Africa where I taught preschool in a rural village to over sixty-six children. I also taught English to high school-aged children and some adults on the side. After returning from the Peace Corps, I found myself back in Los Angeles where I started to teach again at a private preschool in West LA. It was a wonderful opportunity where I was able to plan and prepare incredible, creative lessons for my students. A little more about who I am - my passions include yoga, Ayurvedic medicine, herbalism and cooking. I'm also working on starting a small business so saving up for that. While I do not have any of my own children yet, I I absolutely love spending time with kids and truly enjoy encouraging them to embrace life to the fullest. To make a child smile and to feel valued is one of my greatest pleasures in life

Hello! I am a 26 year old Registered Behavioral Technician, working with children on the spectrum! I have 7 years of experience working with children, 4 of those being with GenEd students ranging from Preschool to Grade 6. I am a very kind, caring, patient, and considerate individual that genuinely cares about our younger generations and wants to nurture whatever lifestyle you prefer, whether that be play-based, imaginative adventures, study-focused with tutoring sessions, or a free environment that only requires someone keeps tabs and ensures their safety. I have experience as the sole adult for a 30 student daycare (2 years), so I am not afraid of large families!
