Find experienced child care providers in Calistoga, 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.

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!

I have had the joy of being a nanny/babysitter for the last 4 years. During my time in childcare, I have cared for a variety of age groups, with a specialty in toddler care.

And since I live a very active lifestyle, I have no problem keeping with with energetic little ones.

In addition, I am CPR/First Aid certified, and I obtain a clean driving record.
