Find experienced babysitters in Occidental, CA

Just returning to helping families with their children and homes after leaving my other job. Prior to this I've had a lifelong career with children either as a private Nanny or in my Home Licensed Daycare. I've had the pleasure of providing childcare/family assistant services for many families. I am experienced with infants through teenagers. I am the mother of two grown daughters and now four grandchildren!. I have held all type of positions, from full-time infant care to multiple sibling care with school transportation to household management. I have also provided nanny services for extended periods, while the parents were out of town for work/vacation. I strive to provide quality care and I have always been complimented. I am honest, reliable and trustworthy. I am currently available on an as needed bases, but I am seeking a permanent position of at least 6 months for 3 days per week. $25.00 - $30.00 depending on your needs and if household duties are involved. Sorry, I do not provide pet care. Prefer no pets but no aggressive pets at all. Not comfortable with large dogs while I'm there.

Hi, my name is Maia. I'm an artist working in Santa Rosa, and have availability after work and on weekends if you need a babysitter! Before becoming a full time artist I was working full time as a nanny, for a variety of families with children of ages 4 and upwards. As well as babysitting in the evenings. Alongside nannying, last year I was the stop motion animation teacher at the Charles M Schulz museum, and was responsible for 22 children aged 6-9 and leading them in classroom activities, as well as taking them on trips around the museum. I was also the head of my local children's library for over 2 years, and was the head of planning and running arts and crafts activities for children of all ages. When I was younger, I volunteered as a girl scout leader for girls aged 5-7 for 3 years and was a regular babysitter for many of the girls and their siblings. I also recently worked at Kidspace Children's Museum, where my role was to engage with children of ages, and was trained by psychologists to understand play thoroughly. I love working with children and I'm more than happy to do crafts, run around or help with homework. Just let me know if you need help!

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 beautiful people of Sonoma county! I am a nanny at heart but I also love to do short term babysitting jobs as well. I am an extremely fun , responsible, reliable and I love working with kids ! I have always love to work with children since I was a child myself. I would post around neighborhoods with a piece of paper at 14 and eventually became my neighborhoods nanny! They were small and short times shifts, mostly dinner dates , covering parents appointments. Once I turned 16, I would work higher paying and longer jobs. From there I knew that I wanted to work with kids for the rest of my life! I am majoring in child development and will also apply for a teaching degree to be a kindergarten teacher! I currently am a full time manger at a pet store but I am looking for short time jobs to save money to see my grandmother in Hawaii! If your kiddo is with me for a short amount of time or even longer, I will make the day or days the happiest! I love to play board games, color, paint and also explore nature.

My name is Gabriela and I am a student at Sonoma State University. My major is Sociology and I am minoring in Early childhood studies. I love children and that is why I want to become a Social Worker. I've never been a nanny before, but I have volunteered and observed at many places. For example, Peek-a-boo Playhouse, the children's school at SSU, and Monica's Playhouse. Although, I have not been nanny before I do have experience of working with children from my past job and from babysitting back at my hometown. I am not certified, but I will if needed.
