I love all children and all animals. I don’t mind doing housework like cleaning up in the kitchen either. I’m comfortable cooking for your children as well. I’ve been babysitting since I was 15 :)

Dual-Service Childcare & Household Professional! My name is Carly, and I’m equally passionate about caring for children as I am about creating a well-run, tidy home. I’m a Bay Area native and a single mother by choice to a wonderful 4-year-old daughter. After many years working in tech, I’ve returned to my roots in hands-on care, with previous experience as both a nanny and lifeguard. Supporting families in their homes is where I truly thrive. As a parent, I understand firsthand the mental load that comes with keeping a household running; meals, laundry, groceries, activities, organization, errands, and making sure the kids are happy and engaged. My goal is to step in, anticipate needs, and take meaningful tasks off your plate so your home and family life can run a little more smoothly. I approach my work from a safety-first angle, while also being dependable, proactive, and organized. I have sound judgment and value transparent communication. I bring warmth and attentiveness to childcare, along with a practical, thoughtful approach to household support. I’m currently accepting childcare-only roles, household support roles, or a combination of both, depending on the child(s) schedule. I have limited availability for recurring commitments, with greater flexibility for ad-hoc or occasional support. I’m happy to share my rates, résumé, and references. I look forward to connecting with families who could use an extra set of capable, caring hands!

Natalie 1 review
$32 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Penngrove, CA

Hi! My name is Natalie and I am currently attending graduate school online. I adore kids and have over 10 years of childcare experience across nannying, daycare, mentoring youth in foster care, and as a Crisis Counselor at a mental health program for teens. I truly enjoy working with any age group, with the majority of my experience being with ages 2-17. My favorite thing about working with younger kids is getting to witness their imagination and creativity, and for older kids, I love to witness them come into their true identity as they find their place in the world. While my personal approach to childcare is inspired in part by the RIE technique (which emphasizes respect, emotional attunement, independence, and allowing children space for authentic exploration and unstructured play), I have had the opportunity to work with such diverse families that I tend to begin my approach by asking the specific family I am working with what their needs are and what they are wanting from me, as I have received very different answers to those questions over the years! However, I do value time outdoors, limited screen time, and self-directed play. In addition to childcare, I also have extensive experience caring for pets, including cats and dogs, and can hold other tasks such as household chores, errands, transportation, meal prep, homework help, and organization as needed. Families I have worked with often describe me as patient, dependable, communicative, and highly intuitive with children. I genuinely enjoy building meaningful long-term relationships with both kids and parents, and creating environments where children feel safe, respected, and free to be themselves!

“Natalie kept my 2 kids (ages 2&4) entertained all day. She is warm, friendly, smart and caring. She brought some toys to immediately draw in my kids and distract from mom and dad leaving for the day. Highly recommend!”

Mikaylah $21 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Mikaylah, I am currently a college student majoring in liberal studies striving to be an elementary teacher one day. I have about 4 years experience working with school aged children. I taught swim lessons to young kids ages 2-16. I have 2 years worth of instructional aide experience at a few different elementary schools. I also have lots of babysitting experience working with children ages 1-10. I love working with kids because they bring so much joy to the environment, I am more than happy to watch your kids on a date night for parents or just any occasion you have planned/need to get out of the house! I am very much an animal person, I love cats, dogs, turtles, most likely any kind of animal I love! I would more than happy to just be an occasional babysitter or something a little more serious if needed. I am just looking for some extra experience in childcare while I continue my education and I would love to look after with your kiddos :)
