Find experienced nannies in Saint Helena, CA

With a love for nurturing and a passion for sparking creativity, I've spent immense amounts of time immersed in the joy and chaos of childcare. From counseling local programs to summer church activities, I've learned the value of fostering growth in young hearts and minds. Growing up in a bustling household, I've worn the hat of caregiver, especially for my sibling with special needs, instilling in me a deep sense of compassion and patience. My approach to childcare centers on safety, wellbeing, and open communication. I prioritize creating a secure environment where kids can explore, learn, and express themselves freely. Whether it's delving into art projects, exploring nature, or simply sharing stories, I aim to cultivate moments that ignite curiosity and imagination. My experiences have taught me the importance of clear and upfront communication with parents, ensuring trust and collaboration in the care journey. With me, families can feel confident knowing their little ones are not only cared for but cherished and encouraged to thrive in an environment that celebrates their unique personalities and interests.

Hi my name is Sabra and I am 24 years old. I’ve been babysitting for 9 years and love working with children of all ages. I’ve worked for many families and have made amazing bonds with kids ages 4 months to 12 years but I am open to working with any age. I’m young enough to keep up with the kids energy but old enough to be mature and responsible. I look forward to the opportunity to meet you and your family.

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

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.

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!

Hello! My name is Annie and I am currently a student at The Culinary Institute of America. I’m from Salt Lake City, Utah and from the time I was 10, I’ve been a nanny to 4 different families consistently and a babysitter to countless of other families. I love kids and kids love me! I worked for my previous nanny family for 6 years and I look at them like my own kids. They were the hardest people to leave! I have a car and I am able to drive wherever is needed, I can cook, clean, help with homework, you name it! I look forward to meeting your family!

Hi! I'm Sophia, and I love working with kids of all ages. I’ve been a preschool teaching assistant, an art instructor for youth ages 6–14, and I’ve worked at several summer camps, which gave me lots of hands-on experience with group care, play-based learning, and creative activities. I recently earned my MA in Counseling Psychology, and during graduate school, I interned at Side By Side, a nonprofit that supports youth ages 4–25 and their caregivers. That experience deepened my compassion, patience, and ability to support kids with a wide range of needs — in a way that’s always warm and non-judgmental. I’ve also worked as a college-level tutor, and bring that same thoughtful, encouraging energy to every childcare setting. Whether it’s imaginative play, homework help, or just keeping things calm and positive at home, I love getting to know each child as their own unique person. Looking forward to connecting!
