I am a long-time local Sonoma County nanny caring for children for over 25+ years. I'm hoping to help parents with Date Night sitting as I'm still with my current family of 15 years. I began my current job when the oldest was only 12 weeks old she is now 15 and has a 12-year-old sister only working part-time now. I am an active Mature lady who truly enjoys caring for children as if they were a part of my own family. I'm very kind patient, and trustworthy with many years of childcare experience caring for newborns to teenage. Fully Vaccinated and have my Boosters. I'd enjoy giving you a worry-free Date Night. Thank You, Cora

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

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!
