Find experienced child care providers in Angwin, CA

Hi my name is Jayana and I love children, I’m currently pursuing my nursing degree and I hope to be in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit one day taking care of premature infants; but for now I’m looking to care for children and gain more experience with them.

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.

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

Hello, my name is Aline. I graduated in Pedagogy from the Federal University of Brasília in 2015 and have over 16 years of experience in child care and education. Throughout my career, I have worked as a teacher in various schools, primarily with children aged 0 to 10, supporting their cognitive, emotional, and social development by creating safe, nurturing, and engaging environments. In 2020, I moved from Brazil to Santa Rosa and had the wonderful opportunity to work as a nanny for a special family for four years. I cared for their first child from the age of 3 months and later for their second child as well. During this time, I built strong, respectful relationships based on trust, affection, and open communication with both the children and their parents. Currently, I’m working with a lovely family in Calistoga, caring for their baby boy. I’ve been with them for the past five months, since he was just 3 months old. It’s been a joy to support his growth and milestones in such a warm and loving household. I’m with them from Tuesday to Thursday. I’m available for nanny positions on Mondays and Fridays, as well as for occasional babysitting on weekends. I’m truly passionate about early childhood development and would be excited to bring my experience, patience, and love for children to your family. Thank you for your time and trust!

Hello! My name is Annie and I am currently a student at The Culinary Institute of America. I’m from Salt Lake City, Utah and from the time I was 10, I’ve been a nanny to 4 different families consistently and a babysitter to countless of other families. I love kids and kids love me! I worked for my previous nanny family for 6 years and I look at them like my own kids. They were the hardest people to leave! I have a car and I am able to drive wherever is needed, I can cook, clean, help with homework, you name it! I look forward to meeting your family!

Hi there! My name is Yen and I’m excited to help your family. I’m originally from Vietnam, where I owned and managed a preschool and tutoring center. I’m passionate about baby and toddler development and use the Montessori method when raising my own 2,5 year old son. I hold a valid American Red Cross child and adult CPR / first aid certificate and have experience with many families both here in California and Vietnam. Some special skills include: preparing/cooking special meals designed for baby’s and toddlers, baby / toddler bathing and massage, ear cleaning, and much more. Let me know if you have any questions and I look forward to hearing from you soon.

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 Sophia, and I love working with kids of all ages. I’ve been a preschool teaching assistant, an art instructor for youth ages 6–14, and I’ve worked at several summer camps, which gave me lots of hands-on experience with group care, play-based learning, and creative activities. I recently earned my MA in Counseling Psychology, and during graduate school, I interned at Side By Side, a nonprofit that supports youth ages 4–25 and their caregivers. That experience deepened my compassion, patience, and ability to support kids with a wide range of needs — in a way that’s always warm and non-judgmental. I’ve also worked as a college-level tutor, and bring that same thoughtful, encouraging energy to every childcare setting. Whether it’s imaginative play, homework help, or just keeping things calm and positive at home, I love getting to know each child as their own unique person. Looking forward to connecting!

Hello! My name is Maddy Shepherd. I moved to Charleston after graduating university in California and am loving it here! I’ve always enjoyed working with kids and have been babysitting and nannying for the past 7 years.

I love being out and about in the sunshine and also enjoy doing arts and crafts or board games inside! I have my own car, am CPR certified, and love to cook!
