Booked by 46 families in Sebastopol, CA

After successfully homeschooling my two wonderful sons, my nest is empty, and it's on to the next chapter! I earned twelve units in Early Childhood Education studies at Santa Monica City College several decades ago while running a playgroup for ages 18 months to 4 years in my Venice, California home for three years. I also have an emergency substitute credential to teach grades K-12. Relocating to Marin County, I worked several pre-schools in Point Reyes Station. In more recent years, I worked in two Mendocino pre-schools as a substitute teacher. While at home raising the kids, I wore many hats in order to supplement the family income, so I am pretty resourceful with many varied skills and interests. Not much puts me off or daunts me. :) As a photographer, my specialties are kids and moms-to-be. I find young ones very fascinating and full of native wisdom. I love to chat with them, which puts them right at ease during a photo shoot. I love art, literature, science, and nature, so I like to do lots of hands-on stuff with kids. My schedule is flexible in both times available and length of job. I look forward to meeting and getting to know your lovely family!

Azure $28 per hour for 1 child

My name is Azure and I am a Nanny from beautiful Sonoma County. With over five years of experience caring for children—primarily ages 4 and under—and three years supporting elderly clients, I bring a calm, compassionate presence to every family I work with. For the past three years, I’ve been a full-time nanny for one family, supporting their daughter’s growth from toddlerhood into preschool. My responsibilities have included meal prep, potty training, school pickup, homework help, and light housekeeping, providing dependable, all-around support for busy parents. I’ve also worked with children on the autism spectrum and bring a patient, individualized approach to each child’s unique needs. My background in elderly care, including hospice and dementia support, has deepened my empathy and taught me the importance of making people feel seen, heard, and valued—principles I bring into every aspect of childcare. I’m dedicated, dependable, and passionate about helping children feel safe, confident, and cared for in their everyday routines.

Hello, My name is Lauryn, I’m 26 years old, and I have been a babysitter/nanny for over 8 years now working with children of all ages!
