Find experienced babysitters in Santa Rosa, 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.

Hi, my name is Maia. I'm an artist working in Santa Rosa, and have availbility 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. Alongisde nannying, last year I was the stop motion animation teacher at the Chalres M Schulz museum, and was responisble for 22 children aged 6-9 and leading them in classroom activites, as well as taking them on trips around the mueseum. 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 activies 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!

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.

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

My name is Karina I am 22 years old working towards becoming a dental hygienist in the future. I have 2 1/2 years working at a daycare of around 16 kids ages ranging from newborn to 5 years. I was primarily the only employee other than the owner so I had a lot of responsibility and involvement with this specific job. My primary tasks at the daycare included overseeing the youngest ones (newborns to 2 yrs) all throughout the day. A chunk of my time was set out to be with the older kids (2-5 yrs) and introduce them to art and age appropriate education ranging from writing to math. There were many days where I would oversee all of the kids, keeping up with scheduling while stimulating and entertaining them and prioritizing safety. I have also been babysitting a sibling set (5 and 7 yrs) for about a year ranging from a couple hours in the evenings to overnight/multiple day shifts. I have a passion for allowing children to grow in a joyful, interactive, and stimulating safe environment that introduces life skills and tools that can emotionally and physically aid them in the real world. I have a couple college credits in Early Child Education along with being CPR certified and certification for CA Child Abuse Mandated Reporter Training for Child Care Providers. I am excited to continue my childcare journey and hopefully make a good impact to this new little generation!
