Find experienced babysitters in Saint Helena, CA

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

Hi, My name is Ashlee Mauro. I am a college student. I am about to graduate (May 22, 22) with my BA degree in Early Childhood Studies with a concentration in Child Development.

I have 10+ years of babysitting experience. Along with babysitting my three younger siblings. I love working with children and being creative. I am outgoing, responsible, fun, energetic, imaginative, patient, a multitasker, and a problem solver.

Hi my name is Sabra and I am 24 years old. I’ve been babysitting for 9 years and love working with children of all ages. I’ve worked for many families and have made amazing bonds with kids ages 4 months to 12 years but I am open to working with any age. I’m young enough to keep up with the kids energy but old enough to be mature and responsible. I look forward to the opportunity to meet you and your family.

With a love for nurturing and a passion for sparking creativity, I've spent immense amounts of time immersed in the joy and chaos of childcare. From counseling local programs to summer church activities, I've learned the value of fostering growth in young hearts and minds. Growing up in a bustling household, I've worn the hat of caregiver, especially for my sibling with special needs, instilling in me a deep sense of compassion and patience. My approach to childcare centers on safety, wellbeing, and open communication. I prioritize creating a secure environment where kids can explore, learn, and express themselves freely. Whether it's delving into art projects, exploring nature, or simply sharing stories, I aim to cultivate moments that ignite curiosity and imagination. My experiences have taught me the importance of clear and upfront communication with parents, ensuring trust and collaboration in the care journey. With me, families can feel confident knowing their little ones are not only cared for but cherished and encouraged to thrive in an environment that celebrates their unique personalities and interests.

I’m a creative, patient, and responsible person who loves organizing fun activities, spending time outdoors, and keeping kids active. I’m also a big animal lover and happy to help with pets.

I am an educated, caring, empathetic, and fun-loving nanny who is looking for the right family to work with! I have worked in several childcare positions from a young age and truly have a passion for working with children. I have experience working with children in educational settings, as well as in a home setting and I love to do creative, fun, and educational activities. I am a very safe driver and a responsible person. I am a very quick learner, hard worker, and firmly believe that children deserve specialized, individualized care and attention according to their unique and differing personalities/needs. I have worked as a Youth program manager at a local nonprofit, a preschool assistant teacher, after-school teacher for at-risk children in 1st-5th grade, and as a nanny for several families.

Hello! I’m a former professional nanny and SAHM of teens returning to my background in childcare as I navigate next steps after separation. I have extensive childcare experience with all ages, from newborns to teenagers, including ADHD and Autistic families. I’m a proponent of gentle parenting practices, active in my daily life, nature-lover, book-enthusiast, music-obsessed, very comfortable with pets, handy in the kitchen, happy to help with light housework, errands, etc. I respect children in their own right as their own people and truly enjoy spending time and sharing life with them. I’m very hands-on in terms of playing, yet also perhaps at my most content rocking a sleeping little one. I am also available for active support and companion care of seniors. Formerly CPR/First Aid certified and happy to renew as desired. Vaccinated. Clean driving record. Availability is fairly flexible and can include evenings and weekends. I’d ideally love to be home to help see my kiddos off to school in the morning, but that’s not necessarily a dealbreaker. I’m also still figuring out how many hours make sense for me right now and am open to cobbling together support for more than one family. 25-30 hours total is probably ideal but I’m open to more. Occasional or one-time jobs accepted as well. Thank you for your consideration and I wish you well in your search!

Hi, I'm Elizabeth. I've worked with children since I was a teenager. I have my ECE credits and I was a preschool teacher for 12 years. I was also a nanny for a little over a year before I had my daughter in August of 2019. I would like to stay at home with her while I work. I'm wanting to watch an infant or toddler so that my daughter could have a little friend that would be close to her age. My daughter has a large bedroom and we have a decent size living room for a baby/toddler to crawl/walk on. We have a fenced back patio, but I can also take your child on walks in the stroller or to one of a few different parks that are easy to walk to if your child is old enough. I would help your child learn by reading, singing, flashcards and artwork (if they are old enough) I would nurture their curiosity and help develop motor skills in a structured environment. I look forward to taking care and teaching your child. If you are interested in seeing my resume please let me know.
