$25 per hour for 1 child

My name is Naomi and I’ve been a caregiver for about 9 years! I’ve worked with all ages from 3 weeks old to 7 years old and part-time 11 year old! Each and every child I’ve work with is very special and dear to my heart which has spark my interest in pursuing a career in this line of work! Being able to help out different families with amazing children has helped me understand that each and every child is different and has different sort of needs! And as a nanny that provides care my job is to make sure each child I come in contact with has a memorable upbringing and their needs catered to! My friends and family may describe me as funny and bubbly and most children I work with describe me as scary cat😂 I’m very appreciative of each opportunity I get to work with families and I take pride in what I do! Thank you for your time

I enjoy helping families, interacting with children and supporting parents. Walking in the park, baking, gardening, arts and crafts, board games or just sitting quietly and reading a book. I am a semi retired RN in search of part-time work in Sonoma County. I am dedicated to helping families with children in their own homes.

Dear Families, My name is Sally, and I am a compassionate, reliable nanny with 20 years of experience in childcare. My background as a preschool teacher, along with Montessori training, has given me a strong foundation in child development and age-appropriate activities. I am passionate about providing a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment where children can learn, grow, and thrive. I am CPR and First Aid certified, up to date with my COVID and flu vaccinations, and experienced in creating and maintaining structured schedules and routines. I excel in organizing age-appropriate, educational activities and games that foster social, emotional, and cognitive development. As a nanny, I will:    •   Ensure a safe, positive environment for your children at all times.    •   Plan engaging and educational activities tailored to their developmental needs.    •   Prepare meals and snacks that align with dietary preferences and restrictions.    •   Follow nap schedules and daily routines to support consistency.    •   Communicate openly with parents regarding progress, concerns, and milestones. I am also comfortable around animals, making me a great fit for families with pets. My goal is to provide peace of mind for parents and create a happy, enriching experience for your children. I look forward to the opportunity to meet your family and discuss how I can contribute to your children’s care and development. Warm regards, Sally
