Find experienced babysitters in Cotati, CA

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.

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!

Hello! My name is Fiona and I love working with kids. I've babysat and tutored kids for a few years now and I enjoy helping children learn. I'm kind, smart, fun, and like being outdoors and exploring.

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

In my early years I was a nanny for children with special needs, twins and highly sensitive children. I taught Montessori to infants to ages 3. After receiving a MA in Management with an emphasis in child development and adapted physical education I followed a long career as a Director in Wellness. I love working with children and have three school age children including twin girls age 8 and an 11 year old boy. I spend my time with my own children and others baking, cooking, creating art, reading, playing and in nature.I enjoy being outside learning through nature and watching the eyes through a child. I hope to find a family to support as a nanny/ house assistant: personal assistant utilizing my collective expertise managing and as a nanny.

Hi everyone! My name is Lauren and I am a kindergarten teacher. I recently graduated with my bachelors in liberal studies and minor in early childhood education from Sonoma State University. Previously to becoming a teacher, I directed a summer camp and was an after school teacher. I am CPR certified, fully vaccinated, have my own transportation, and have the most experience with children between the ages of 1-10, although I am open to learning. I love bringing fun crafts or creative activities to my babysitting jobs.

I have been a preschool teacher for 25 years. I love working with children of all ages. I have recently taken a two year class on infant/Toddler training that follows the PITC philosophy. I pride myself as being very nurturing, warm loving and caring. I enjoy doing arts and crafts with the children, as well as trips to the parks or playing in the backyard. I am also an animal lover, so pets are not a problem for me.
