Stephanie Vallejo
$34 per hour for 1 child

Hi parents! My name is Stephanie. I have over 10 years of experience under my belt as a nanny/babysitter. I have a deep love for children and strongly believe in gentle parenting where patience, empathy, and respectful communication guide every interaction. I believe every child deserves the freedom to be their authentic self. I strive to support children by encouraging creativity, individuality, and emotional expression. My overall goal is to create a safe and nurturing environment where children feel heard, confident, and are free to grow into their unique personalities. I am a mother of 2 boys - ages 2 and 12, so I am comfortable with any age! I am a huge lover of animals, arts and crafts, and sports!

Eileen Napa
$30 per hour for 1 child

A bit about me: I am a preschool teacher at Good Shepherd Lutheran School in Novato, and have been working there for 4 years now. I work daily with children ages 2-4. I am graduating this spring with an AS degree in Child and Family Studies from Napa Valley College, and I am CPR and First Aid certified. Prior to teaching, I also have several years of experience babysitting children ages 0-10, including babysitting for individual families, and providing childcare for large groups of children at events. I love working with children and am fascinated by the process of their development! Their little minds are absolutely intriguing. I love to play and experiment alongside them, and my approach to discipline and teaching is very much based in authoritative parenting style (aka gentle parenting) and play-based learning. If you have any questions, please ask! I know how important it is to leave your little ones with someone you can trust!
