Find experienced child care providers in Woodland, CA

Hi parents! I’m a caring, dependable, and fun-loving childcare provider with experience working with children of different ages and personalities. I truly enjoy creating a safe, positive, and engaging environment where children can feel comfortable, supported, and excited to learn and play. I have experience caring for children through activities such as arts and crafts, sensory play, reading, outdoor play, age-appropriate learning activities, and everyday routines. I’m patient, attentive, and understand that every child has their own needs, personality, and schedule. As a parent myself, I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your little one. My goal is to give parents peace of mind while making sure their child feels happy, cared for, and engaged throughout our time together. I have obtained my childcare license and take safety, cleanliness, communication, and reliability seriously. I’m happy to follow your child’s routine and your parenting preferences while providing thoughtful, age-appropriate care. I look forward to getting to know your family and creating a fun, comfortable experience for your little ones!

I've been in childcare since I was twelve years old, eighteen entire years! I used to babysit for my mom and dad, as the oldest sibling in my family of seven children. Friends from our community knew I was good with the little kids and asked for me to come and watch theirs, and it all snowballed from there. I've worked in church daycares, at summer camps, for six families as a private child caretaker, in schools as a teacher's assistant and more. I am comfortable working with autism spectrum kids, too, since my a lot of my family are on the spectrum. That's actually how I met my first nanny kiddo; he was on the spectrum and we became friends at the shop I worked at when his mom and he would come in to eat. His mom came in one day and said he loved me and their nanny had to go, so could she pay me a dollar more than what I was getting paid now and full time? It was all very kismet. I worked for them full time for about a year after until I moved. I am super creative but also super responsible. I like the balance of art and productivity. I love making lists and checking them off: it gives me a sense of purpose and calm and tangible proof that I'm making moves in the right direction. I am alllll about finding creative ways to be kind and handle any kind of upset with empathy and compassion and compromise. Not even lots of crying stresses me out; I just view it as another avenue of processing in a big world that kids have, among many others, of getting their feelings out when they feel they can't properly express it with their language. I like to find things to do to change the mood when things like that come up, like a game or a trip, instead of letting them get too stuck in the upset. Or sometimes we sing the Breathing Song from Esme and Roy! My biggest strength as a nanny is my commuication skills with parents. I want to work alongside you as another team member and an advocate for your family! I'm there to make your guys' lives all a little easier. If there's anything to do that would make that happen, I more than want to hear about it and it means so much to me when it's expressed. I show my love and care for people through acts of service, so that's always been a great source of pride for me. I am CPR/First Aid certified, have my own car and am currently working for two families. I started working with their children since they were 6 months and 8 months and they're now both almost 2 and 3.

Hi! I’m Candace, I’m 26 years old and an experienced nanny with a strong background in infant and newborn care. Growing up as the second oldest of six kids, being around children has always come naturally to me, and it’s what first led me into nannying.I bring over 8 years of childcare experience working with children of all ages, from infants to school-aged kids, including families with multiple children. I currently work as a full-time nanny for a newborn and have spent the past year and a half focused on infant care. I’m very comfortable stepping into a baby’s routine, learning their cues, and providing calm care during those early months. I take on all aspects of infant care and enjoy creating an environment where babies feel secure and supported. I’ve also worked with families with toddlers and school-aged children. I enjoy creating a safe, interactive environment and am comfortable with day-to-day tasks like school drop-offs, activities, and running errands. Alongside my childcare work, I graduated with a degree in cellular and molecular biology and am pursuing a career in medicine with a focus on pediatrics, which shapes the way I approach care. I am CPR certified and always prioritize creating a safe and engaging environment. I will be available for full-time or part-time positions starting April 3, and I look forward to connecting with you.

Hello, my name is Katherina Oleynichenko. I finished Sacramento City College studying Early Childhood Education and finished Sacramento State University this past semester Spring 2025 in Child Development with a minor in Deaf studies. In my professional experience, I have babysat toddlers through kindergarten-aged children at my church on Thursday night every other week for the past two years. My goal was to make sure all the children would play nice, eat and enjoy their snacks, and leave the center with a smile on their faces. At my church, I also participated as a lead counselor and supervisor of children in a program called Vacation Bible School which occurs every summer as a day camp for children ages 4-10. Through Vacation Bible school, I not only supervised children but made sure all were happy, entertained, and fed, as we also had snacks throughout the day and you know what happens when a child does not eat, they are cranky. Another professional experience that I am currently a member of is Awana Clubs, which is ages from 4-6 and 7-12. I volunteer as the main coordinator and also a crew leader which oversees the children and their behavior. I practice Bible verses with them, participate in sports activities, and share lots of hugs. I also have experience with infants and pre-toddlers. I was the main babysitter for 4 years while my own little brother was growing up and I have learned what it means to have a crucial bedtime/daytime schedule for infants, from nap time to food breaks and how much attention infants and little babies need and crying is their main source of disagreement but should not be their main source of communication and smiling is better. Some skills that I have gained over the years are good time management and patience with children. Children want your undivided attention and unconditional affection and as an adult or babysitter, my goal is to provide that environment while also supporting their growth into future young adults. One of my greatest achievements and growth moments as a student in early childhood development and personal development is being able to think of entertaining activities fast and fun games to play if the child begins to get bored. Being creative is an amazing source of outlet to let children be who they are through painting, coloring, or doing various crafts. I also speak Russian and am proficient in American Sign Language. Looking forward to meeting you and your wonderful family. Thank you!

I am a  Nanny from Los Angeles CA.  I also do someon call babysitting on the side.   I try to schedule  these around my existing full time job.    Presently I just moved backto the Sherman oaks  area, and am searching for some on call or parttime babysitting.    my babysitting style  first and foremost,    am NOT the type of babysitter who is dependent on the T.V for your a childs primary source of  entertainment,    whether am babysitting,     or in a permenant Nanny position,.     I do feel educational programs are great in moderation or some relaxing down time after school,  or  right before bedtime ( with parents permission ) I feel like theres so much more to do outdoors (weather permitting)  and indoors as well.  I perfer to engage in a child in some crafts,  or anything activities they have a flair or special interest in .     ( Because  contray to popular beliefs not all children are interested in crafts.   ) theres outside play,   for example... my last babysitting date, she is 3  years old we created a special box with all our activities inside,  this box was just for us when I came to babysit.  when i arrived at the door she would happily greet me, and run  to get our special activities box.  That day we colored a big  refridgerator size card board box with markers,  stickers,  and glued colored pipe cleaners, cotten balls, and what ever else we could find outside,  and painted our names on the front, pretended we were making a princess castle. .  parent/caregiver interaction is great,  but its  also important  we refrain from their  "Directing Play"  for example.......If a child is coloring in his/her coloring book  and wants to paint the frog yellow with pink spots,... Let Them... try not to suggest other colors,  or stay in the lines etc,    let them express their ceativity the way they need to. eventually they will learn all these life  lessons about " what color a frog is?,   or learn how to stay with the  lines etc.  I do understand there are times that children need to be Re-directed when demostrating  unconstrutive,  unsafe behavior,  or testing parental set boundries.
