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

I'm Stacey. I am very active and energetic. I enjoy being in the outdoors, biking, cooking, and baking. I am a school counselor. I have a bachelor’s degree in psychology and child development and a master’s degree in counseling. I worked as a behavior therapist for children with autism for three years. I have experience babysitting and nannying for children of all ages, including infants. I do my best to be engaged with the children while babysitting by doing crafts, playing games, and learning together. I work for a school so I’m typically available evenings, weekends, and much more during the summer.

I have babysat for many families over the years - for kids of all ages. I absolutely adore not only taking care of kids but being able to provide them with a nurturing, interactive, safe yet fun environment. Most recently, I was a part-time nanny for a sweet one-year-old girl and took care of her three days a week. In addition to making sure she was well-taken care, I helped out with housework such as cooking, cleaning/tidying, organizing, laundry and more. I'm more than happy to do anything needed since I understand how hard it can be for a family to balance everything. To my sadness, they moved to Greece but, of course, I'm incredibly happy for them My experience ranges from caring for infants to caring for autistic children. I've also taken care of multiple kids at once - like a family with a 4, 3, 2 and 1-year old, for one example. I first became a nanny while studying at UCLA and helped raise a wonderful two-year-old girl in Bel Air. For the next three and half years, I helped raise her - 5 days a week. Every single day we engaged in interactive and imaginative play, explored outside and worked on growing her overall knowledge of the world. I also worked at introducing various basic concepts like kindness and original thinking. I grew up in a family of educators and spent many of my early years in my mother's and sister's classrooms helping their students. For me, every moment with a child is an opportunity to help expand their minds and grow as an individual. Post-UCLA and after another year of nannying, I left California to serve in the Peace Corps as an Education Volunteer in Burkina Faso, West Africa where I taught preschool in a rural village to over sixty-six children. I also taught English to high school-aged children and some adults on the side. After returning from the Peace Corps, I found myself back in Los Angeles where I started to teach again at a private preschool in West LA. It was a wonderful opportunity where I was able to plan and prepare incredible, creative lessons for my students. A little more about who I am - my passions include yoga, Ayurvedic medicine, herbalism and cooking. I'm also working on starting a small business so saving up for that. While I do not have any of my own children yet, I I absolutely love spending time with kids and truly enjoy encouraging them to embrace life to the fullest. To make a child smile and to feel valued is one of my greatest pleasures in life

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

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.

Although, I have not been nanny before I do have experience of working with children from my past job and from babysitting back at my hometown. I am not certified, but I will if needed.
