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!

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!

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 Leslie. I have provided nanny care for nearly 8 years, in addition to 5 years of working in a Montessori environment. I was the Lead Infant Teacher at Guidepost Montessori in Mill Valley for 3 years. I took on the role as a Spanish/English Teacher for the 4-6 year olds at Educare (Montessori-based) in Corte Madera. I am bilingual in Spanish and English. I transitioned to nannying because I prefer one-on-one care. I enjoy arts and crafts, as painting is my main hobby. I love to go for walks and take children to the park. I love listening to music and singing (not a good singer at all LOL). I, recently, started teaching myself how to play the piano and have become an avid reader. I am a very attentive care provider with an amazing work ethic. I think it is important to create a safe, secure and trusting relationship with not only the child, but the family as well. I value having open communication with the family. I have been with a my current family for the past 16 months. I am preparing for a possible transition in October. No dates confirmed, but putting out feelers. Let's connect if I am what you are looking for!

I have excellent childcare references as well as excellent Letters-Of-Recommendation. I am a native to West Sonoma County where my relatives settled over 100 years ago from Tuscany, Italy. I am a very upbeat, optimistic, energetic Nanny with a wonderful sense of humor who always tends to see things in a positive light! I have always had a great love and passion for children and animals of every kind! I love spending time outdoors with children doing stimulating and fun things with kids, as well as spending time reading fun and educational books to kids helping them to develop and encourage their imaginations. I work with children of every age from infancy on up to the teenage years. Over the years I have been in just about any and every kind of Nanny position/situation you could think of! I am available to work any days and any hours from 35- 50 hours per week ( including: weekends ,holidays, and date nights when needed.) My salary would be anywhere from $20.00-$25.00 per hour (depending on the number of children in the household) As a Nanny my duties vary in each household from a few duties to quite a number of duties expected for the children and the maintenance of the household depending on whatever is best and most comfortable for each family. If you think we might be a match I would love to hear from you! Sincerest Thanks! Carol

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.
