Find experienced babysitters in Healdsburg, 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!

I have babysat for many families over the years - for kids of all ages. I absolutely adore taking care of kids and being able to provide them with a nurturing, interactive, safe yet fun environment. My experience ranges from caring for infants and youths to caring for autistic children to caring for multiple kids at once - like a family with a 4, 3, 2 and 1-year-old, for example. I first became a nanny while studying at UCLA back in 2012 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, respect and original thinking. 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. After returning from the Peace Corps, I found myself back in LA where I started to teach again at a private preschool in West LA. It was a wonderful opportunity where I could design creative, engaging and play-based lessons for my young students. I worked there for about two years until I started grad school to study ethnobotany right before the pandemic hit. For the past nine years, I've been living down in SoCal and my most recent recurring caretaking role was last year as a part-time nanny for a sweet one-year-old girl (I was also working at a holistic wellness studio at the time) and I 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 to make life easier for a family since I understand how hard it can be to balance everything. To my sadness, they moved to Greece last June to be with family which actually worked out because my own family needed help on our farm in the Central Valley so I moved up north for the time being. While I do not have any of my own children yet, I absolutely love spending time with kids and truly enjoy encouraging them to embrace life to the fullest. To make a child smile and feel valued is one of my greatest joys in life.

Why do you love being a sitter? I enjoy being a sitter because I genuinely enjoy working with children and being someone they can feel safe and comfortable around. I have been surrounded by children my entire life, so caring for them has always been something that comes naturally to me. I enjoy creating a positive, engaging, and nurturing environment where children can have fun while also feeling supported and cared for. What experience do you have? I have spent much of my life caring for and being around children, which has given me valuable hands-on experience understanding their needs and personalities. I have learned the importance of patience, responsibility, communication, and being attentive to each child's individual needs. In addition, I am a Medical Assistant, which has provided me with professional experience in healthcare and strengthened my ability to provide compassionate, responsible, and attentive care. What skills and training do you have? As a Medical Assistant, I have received healthcare training that has taught me the importance of safety, hygiene, communication, organization, and attention to detail. I am comfortable remaining calm and responsible in unexpected situations and understand the importance of recognizing and responding to someone's needs. I am dependable, patient, compassionate, and attentive, and I believe these qualities are especially important when caring for children.
