Lidia C., Child Care in American Canyon, CA 94503 with 21 years of paid experience

I have 21 years of experience in babysitting children from babies to toddlers. I decided to became a babysitter because I like to teach children and play with them in order to help them transition and grow in life. I am bilingual and have taught and helped out several children I have taken care of with Spanish. I am CPR certified and have plenty of good references. I'm a mother of three so I just love children of all ages, but especially babies.

If I could give Elisa 6 stars, I would! I am so happy she has been part of our family's life for so long. She started watching my daughter and my niece when they were ~7 months old and watched them until they went to daycare around 2.5 (and then she watched my nephew until he went to daycare!). Because we were working from home for much of it, we got to see her "in action". She is kind, patient, communicative, and her genuine love for spending time with kids shines through every interaction. She plays, reads, sings, and talks to the kids constantly - all three kids started talking very well very early and I have no doubt she was part of that!! When she started watching the girls, it was early COVID and she was incredibly conscious and safe. When it started to become ease up a bit, she would take the girls (and later my nephew) on outings every day to various parks, sing alongs, etc, keeping them entertained and engaged. She's also never on her phone and doesnt use screens around the kids. My daughter still asks for her to babysit! I love Elisa and wholeheartedly recommend her - she's a treasure and any family would be lucky to have her!

Joanna H., Child Care in American Canyon, CA 94503 with 6 years of paid experience

Hello! A little about me - My name is Joanna, I’m currently a part time student at DVC. I’m CPR certified and I have a BLS. I have experience with children with disabilities. Since the age of 17 I have worked with children on the side as a nanny. I’m now 25 and between those years I’ve worked with many different families. I used to be a certified nursing assistant but decided to do something I really enjoyed which was working with children. That is when I became a 1:1 aid at a school. I enjoy working with children the most because they’re always such happy souls. Im very loving and caring for others and I tend to be silly a lot when I’m around kids. Working at the school is part-time with little hours which is why I’d love to continue being a nanny for the right family. I like to be punctual and attentive. I’m a very fast learner. I like to make arts and crafts, play board games, read, and enjoy nature. I’m able to help with homework and light house duties if needed. Your children are guaranteed to be in good hands with me! :)

Dominique is wonderful! She's fun, kind, responsible, and easy to work with. My 3YO daughter -- who tends to be pretty shy and reserved -- absolutely loves her and looks forward to being babysat by Dominique. Would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable babysitter.

Kyo R., Child Care in American Canyon, CA 94503 with 35 years of paid experience

Hi, I am a experienced, reliable private nanny currently seeking a part-time position within 15 miles of Walnut Creek/Pleasant Hill/Lafayette area. As a mom of three and a proud grandma, caring for children truly comes naturally to me. I have over 35 years of experience caring for children of all ages, including 12 years supporting children with special needs. I'm warm, patient and engaging, and I love being a part of a child's daily life whether that's reading, spending time outdoors, or supporting routines that help them feel secure and confident. I have excellent references, a drivers licence and I can assist in light household tasks, meal prep, errands, children's laundry and helping keep daily routines running smoothly for busy families. My rate is $32-$40 an hour depending on the job and responsibilities. I prefer a private pay arrangement and I'm open to discussing guaranteed hours for the right family.

Natalie  V., Child Care in American Canyon, CA 94503 with 6 years of paid experience

Hi! My name is Natalie and am 25 years old. I'm an experienced babysitter with 10+ years of experience who has a passion for child care with a goal of becoming a pediatric nurse. received my bachelor's of science in nursing this past May at Samuel Merritt University in Oakland and am currently finding occasional babysitting jobs as I study for my state board exam. I wanted to go into nursing because I have always enjoyed helping people. I have always enjoyed working with children, which is why I chose pediatric nursing and why I have always gravitated to childcare jobs. My mom and grandmother owned a daycare for 13 years of my life and I was a big help, so I have experience taking care of newborns all the way to teenagers. I have volunteered during the summer at many camps as a youth counselor. During the pandemic I worked through zoom to provide one on one care with children that needed homework assistance or just virtual playtime. I have worked as an after school instructor at my local elementary school, where I am currently working. My responsibilities have included driving to/from school and sport practices, crafts, bedtime routines, and tutoring. I can also clean, tidy up the house and run errands if needed. My main goal is to always make sure children are having fun in an educational way and providing a safe environment for them. I am a big fan of arts and crafts so I always carry crafts around me in case a fun little activity can be done. I also love pets and take care of them as well! I have had many hamsters, cats, dogs, chinchillas, etc...so I am fine with giving them my extra care. I am also bilingual and speak English and Spanish fluently, and wouldn’t mind giving a little Spanish lesson every now and then. I like to her walk my dogs, do puzzles, and watch movies in my spare time. I am fully vaccinated and CPR certified. I look forward to meeting you! 😊😊

We’ve had Reina with us for two months caring for our 4-month-old, and she has truly been a blessing. She is patient, loving, and so in tune with our baby’s needs. Our little one is very comfortable around her! We trust her completely and are so grateful for the peace of mind she brings. We would absolutely recommend her to any family.

Dania K., Child Care in American Canyon, CA 94503 with 25 years of paid experience

Hello! I'm a dedicated childcare provider with over 25 years of paid experience, specializing in infant care and children from first grade and up. As a mother to a wonderful 20-year-old daughter, I understand firsthand the trust parents place in caregivers, and now that my own child is grown, I'm excited to share my passion for nurturing young minds. My previous family trusted me for 16 wonderful years until their children outgrew needing care, which speaks to my reliability and the meaningful relationships I build with families. I'm comfortable with all aspects of infant care including feeding, diaper changes, and sleep routines, and I love engaging elementary-age children with homework help and age-appropriate activities that encourage learning and creativity. I believe in creating a safe, nurturing environment where children feel secure and happy while maintaining open communication with parents about their child's day. My extensive experience means I can handle any situation with confidence and calm, and I'm committed to respecting each family's unique parenting style and household rules. I offer flexible scheduling to accommodate your family's needs and would love the opportunity to meet you and discuss how I can support your childcare needs. References available upon request.
