Find an after school nanny in Hood, CA

Hi! My name is Caitlynn and I work at an after school program right now with preschoolers and kindergartners! I love going to work and doing creative activities like arts and crafts, reading stories, and fun outdoor play. I have a great bond with them and would love to build more relationships. I have been watching infants since I was 15 and still do it on the side as well. I believe in building a trusting relationship with both kids and parents.

Caring for others has always been more than a job to me—it’s a passion and a calling. From a very young age, I naturally stepped into caregiving roles by helping raise and care for younger children in my family. Those experiences taught me patience, responsibility, and the importance of creating a safe, loving environment where others can thrive. With over 10 years of hands-on experience caring for children, seniors, pets, and supporting busy households, I’ve developed a well-rounded skill set that allows me to confidently adapt to each family’s unique needs. I am CPR certified and a Certified Personal Trainer, with experience caring for older adults, individuals with varying care needs, and children of different ages. Whether it’s preparing healthy meals, helping with homework, engaging children in fun and educational activities, maintaining a clean and organized home, providing companionship, or assisting with daily routines, I approach every responsibility with patience, kindness, and genuine care. As a proud dog owner myself, I understand that pets are cherished members of the family too. I’m comfortable caring for dogs and other pets, whether that means walks, feeding, playtime, administering basic care, or simply giving them the love and attention they deserve. Families often describe me as dependable, nurturing, trustworthy, calm under pressure, and easy to communicate with. I believe every child deserves to feel encouraged, every senior deserves dignity and compassion, every pet deserves love, and every family deserves peace of mind. My goal is to become someone you can truly rely on—someone who will care for your loved ones and your home with the same level of respect, attention, and dedication that I would give my own family. I would be honored to be a positive, dependable presence in your home and help make your everyday life a little easier.

I am first aid & cpr certified. I have several years experience as a caregiver, direct support professional, janitor, custodian, house keeping & pet sitting.

For over 15 years, I've dedicated myself to nurturing children's growth and development, driven by a passion for making a positive impact on their lives and supporting families. I do my best to balance good manners, kindness, and age appropriate life skills. I am patient, creative, friendly and warm. My sole mission is to focus on the children to make sure they are happy, cared for and feel loved. I believe that open communication and collaboration with parents are a strong foundation for a thriving nanny/family relationship. While I am comfortable for caring for up to three children of any age group, I prefer to focus on one or two children at a time. I have many years of hands on experience, with multiple long term families, and am very familiar with growth milestones, sleep and potty training, baby led weaning, etc. I am First Aid and CPR Trained, and TrustLine certified. I have worked for a premier nanny agency in Fresno for the past 9 years and have excellent references and letters of recommendation upon request. My role as a nanny has morphed multiple times over the years. I have mostly started with families with infants and have stayed on while they transition to toddlers and then school age. I'm always happy to help with meal prep, carpooling, and going on fun excursions with the kiddos while cultivating a safe, nurturing and fun environment. I really enjoy being outdoors and weaving in educational facts as I myself enjoy nature, gardening and camping. I try to encourage exploration of topics like reading (I am a voracious reader), gardening, international cultures ( I am half Hispanic and can speak a smidge of Spanish), cuisine and different genres of music. I believe that children should be immersed in the world they live in and see the magic that can be had if we just take the time to observe. Due to relocating to Sacramento mid-December, I am sad to leave my current nanny family. I have been with them for about 7 years. The children are currently 8 and soon to be 5. I am hoping to find full time employment with hopes of a long term arrangement. Please feel free to message me with any questions and I look forward to finding my new nanny family!

I have a strong background working with children of all ages through both professional and personal experience. I currently work as a Registered Behavior Technician (RBT), where I provide one-on-one support to children with autism by helping them build communication, social, and daily living skills in a safe, positive environment. This role has strengthened my patience, problem-solving abilities, and understanding of each child’s unique needs. In addition to my professional experience, I have several years of babysitting experience caring for children in my family and for other families. I enjoy creating fun, engaging activities while making sure children are safe, happy, and well cared for. I’m dependable, responsible, and able to stay calm under pressure. Families can count on me to be caring, attentive, and trustworthy. I pride myself on building positive relationships with both children and parents through clear communication and reliability. Whether it’s helping with homework, preparing meals, playing games, following bedtime routines, or assisting with light household tasks, I’m always happy to help and ensure children feel comfortable, supported, and cared for.
