Find a babysitter in El Verano, CA

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!

Hi!! My name is Aaliyah! :) I’m an undergraduate student at San Francisco State University working towards a degree in Interior Design. I’ve spent a good chunk of my life babysitting my youngest brother who was born with cerebral palsy — who is now 14 and I still take care of him when I can! So, I’m used to diaper changing, feeding and bathing. I’m creative at heart — I believe art is a beautiful part of development and self expression with children. So, I’m big on doing and introducing arts & crafts with children!!

My name is Amy. I am a former preschool teacher of over 15 years and have a lot of experience as a nanny. I have cared for children from 2 weeks to 12 years old, and have two children of my own. I am reliable, responsible, creative, nurturing, and very safety conscious. I enjoy working together with families to really find what's best for their child. I'm great with scheduling, time management, potty training, positive discipline, sleep training, and inspiring learning and growth! I love exploring nature with children and doing lots of art projects. I am first aid and CPR certified. I'm always happy to help with light housekeeping, organizing, food prep and errands if needed. I am a part time certified health and wellness coach and believe it's important to incorporate this into my work with children as well!! In my spare time, I love to make jewelry, cook, and spend time with my family.
