I’m a 30 year old Irish, Mathematics and Science Teacher. I have 8 years full time teaching experience and I have worked with children most of my life. I come from a large family, of which I am the eldest and so helped my parents with my 4 younger siblings. I was a member of the Red Cross at home and I am comfortable with First Aid and CPR. I am a very active person and love to be busy and outdoors. I’m a punctual and professional person yet caring and loving. I am currently employed as a full time teacher in a local Catholic school. I can provide references if required. Looking forward to meeting you and your kids!

Paula was so fantastic - my kids loved her, and she was communicative and kind with their big energy. Thank you Paula!

Hello, Thank you for reading my profile. My name is Karen and I live in Santa Rosa, CA. My family has been here nearly 40 years now, we have migrated from "The Great Bay Area." I like being with kids and have extensive child care & background with my own family, helping to raise my niece and nephew years ago here in Santa Rosa, and helped with my nephew in Las Angeles a few years ago. The "after school shift", pick up from school, snack time, prep dinner, ect. :) I have experience as an asst. pre-school teacher for two years in SF several years ago and also taught Kinder Ski in the Sierra's, including intermediate skiing with middle school and high schoolers. Great job by the way had a blast and so did they! Now I like helping families & kids with safety & fun. I love music, and will help in any way I can. To a great day! kmn ps. I have successfully completed child development classes and teachers aid experience. Best Wishes Always, Karen N.

Super friendly, responsible, and communicative. My girls had a fun time with Karen!!

Hi families! My name is Karolline, I’m 23 years old, and I’ve been working with children since I was 15 years old. I started babysitting because I wanted to earn my own money at a young age, but it quickly became something I truly love and enjoy doing. Over the years, I’ve cared for kids of different ages and personalities, and I love building genuine connections with them while creating a safe, fun, and loving environment. I’m very patient, responsible, energetic, and creative. I love keeping kids engaged with fun activities like arts and crafts, outdoor adventures, reading, games, baking, walks to the park, and imaginative play. I’m someone who enjoys being active, and since I love hiking and nature, I always encourage healthy, fun activities instead of too much screen time. Families would describe me as reliable, caring, organized, and easy to communicate with. I understand how important trust is when it comes to your children, and I always do my best to make both parents and kids feel comfortable and happy. I love being the babysitter that kids are excited to see again! I’m CPR certified, have my own reliable car, and maintain a clean driving record, so transportation and safety are never a concern. Whether your family needs occasional babysitting, date nights, after-school help, or a regular nanny, I’d love the opportunity to help make your life a little easier while making sure your kids are having fun and feeling cared for.

Karol was very attentive and caring, and got our three kids in bed before I can most nights! Would definitely recommend.
