Booked by 11 families in Rohnert Park, CA

Hi - My name is Olivia and I'm currently in my third year at the Santa Rosa Junior College. I am offering child care, senior care, and any household services. I absolutely adore children of all ages, and love being a babysitter. I've been watching/ caring for newborns, infants, toddlers, and kids since I was nine years old. Some of my responsibilities have included, driving to/ from activities, crafts, and household cleaning. In addition, I've worked as a household care giver, I am able to clean, run any necessary errands, as well as cook. I'm not allergic to any animals! I love both cats and dogs.

Olivia was flexible with my start time and very responsible. She was a great communicator, asked good questions, and I felt safe leaving my 5 month old with her for 8 hours!

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!

Hi, I’m Caroline! I’m 30 years old, currently living in Petaluma, and attending nursing school. I’m available for part-time, occasional, date-night, and weekend babysitting. I have over 10 years of experience caring for children of all ages, from newborns to school-aged kids. I’m patient, responsible, CPR certified, and have excellent references. I love working with children and creating a safe, fun, and caring environment for them. Feel free to reach out—I’d love to connect!

Caroline watched our 3 year old during a work day while my husband and I worked from the house. She showed up early and communicated well. Our son took to her immediately, and they played all day. He had a wonderful time running around with her, and he was laughing and talking all day. We look forward to hiring her again soon.

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.

Booked by 228 families in Rohnert Park, CA

Hi, my name is Ryann! At this time, I am only looking for occasional jobs as I cannot commit to a regularly scheduled babysitting job. I have a bachelor's degree in psychology with a minor in criminal justice studies from San Francisco State University, and I am planning to go back to school to obtain a master's degree sometime in the next few years. I am up-to-date on all my vaccinations and boosters (including COVID-19), and I am trained in CPR/AED/First Aid, however my certification has lapsed. While in college, I took three courses specifically related to child and adolescent psychology and development. I began babysitting when I was 12 years old, and have worked with children of various ages over the years (newborns to preteens) as a babysitter, nanny, and volunteer camp counselor. When weather permits, I like to take the kids outside, for walks or to play at the park. However, I am just as happy staying inside, playing games, doing arts and crafts, or reading to the kids. I can also speak conversational Spanish. In my spare time, I like to read, bake, and make jewelry. Regarding COVID-19: I am happy to provide proof of full vaccination, including booster shots. I ask that all household members of families that I work with receive the vaccine and boosters when possible, unless medically unable. I expect mutual transparency; I cannot babysit when someone in the household is sick and/or has been exposed to COVID-19 and expect to be told as soon as possible so that the job can be canceled. Likewise, I will inform all families if I or someone in my household is sick and/or has been exposed to COVID-19 and will cancel the job with as much notice as possible. I will wear a mask while babysitting if preferred, just let me know! *Please note, for liability reasons, I will not drive children in my personal vehicle; however, I am willing to drive children in a parent or guardian’s vehicle, provided that their insurance policy covers me. Similarly, I am also willing to transport children via public transportation, taxi, or Uber/Lyft.*
