Hello! My name is Alexa, I am 20 years old and have spent many years taking care of family members children as well as my own sister while she was young. I have 4 years of teaching children how to swim under my belt and how to handle kids when they are dealing with more difficult emotions and was trained as a lifeguard to keep children safe. I work 8:30am-5pm Monday to Friday on weekdays however am free on weekends and after work! I spend most of my free time at the gym, baking, cooking, or sewing as I have my own machine and depending on what my weekends look like I take time to go out with my sister. I know how to do cpr on infants, toddlers, children, and adults should anything ever happen. If you have any questions please reach out and let me know.

Hi! I'm a recent high school graduate, attending community college in the fall. I'm looking for an occasional or part-time job doing something I enjoy-- and I love working with kids! If I find we are a good fit, I'm open to considering longer-term options. Experience & Qualifications: I have some babysitting experience with another local family who I babysat for occasionally throughout high school. Their kids were 4 and 7 at the start. I've also worked as a substitute classroom aid at the German Language School of the North Bay in Novato and mostly substituted in the kindergarten class which had kids ranging from 3 to 6 years old. If you'd like to know more about paid work and volunteer work I've done, I'd be happy to send you my resume or discuss this further. I'm happy to provide references as well. Just reach out! Note that I haven't had formal tutoring experience but would be comfortable assisting a child in learning all the teaching skills listed on my profile. I plan on becoming CPR/First Aid/AED certified for infants, children and adults this August! Background & Childcare Approach: I was educated in Waldorf schools from preschool to 12th grade. My childcare approach emphasizes being a nurturing emotional presence for children. I believe children don’t need to become someone. They already are someone. And I believe it’s my job to help that unfolding happen safely, while letting them grow into themselves. To gain skills to increase their safety in the world rather than hide from it. To learn to distinguish good risks to take from harmful or dangerous risks. I want to encourage them to play hard and I use kindness as a guiding principle in everything. I hope to help them build healthy confidence, knowing they are capable and can do hard things– and are able to ask for help. I value a healthy and age-appropriate transparency between child and adult, enough for children to know that adults aren’t perfect and we don’t expect them to be perfect either. I hope to teach them humility by example so that they too can learn to say “that wasn’t my best moment, and I know how to come back and repair.” I hope to bring these values into a warm family household that also shares them. Best, Sofia

I work full time but I’m available anytime after or weekends. I’m capable of working with infants, toddlers, preschoolers to teenagers. I’m willing to help with any type of home or errands that may come up. CPR certified!! Patient & Healthcare experienced.

My name is Natalie, a bilingual (English and French and learning Spanish) Windsor High senior with over six years of childcare experience mentored by my nanny’s who are 30-year industry veteran. Caring for others is a gift of mine I have had since a young age! My experience in student government, serving on a school board and more makes me wise beyond my years and very responsible. As an active figure skater and dancer, I have plenty of energy to foster an environment that prioritizes outdoor play, fun quality engagement and creative crafts, though I am equally patient and calm when caring for infants and any child that needs it. I am a licensed driver and capable cook, happy to assist with school pickups, errands, and meal prep as well. As a lifelong pet owner, I have extensive experience with house and dog sitting, ensuring your furry friends and home are perfectly cared for. I also provide compassionate, non-medical senior care and am a dedicated, mature professional ready to support your household before I head to college this fall.
