Booked by 2 families in Sebastopol, CA

Hello- My name is Kyla. I am a young, energetic, and responsible 26-year old who loves to engage and play with kids and animals. I am currently looking for In between work as I was just laid off due to the economy! I’m looking for additional income in these hard times. I am offering senior, child care, transportation to/from school, or pet care. I am the oldest of three, with a ten year age gap between my siblings. I’ve spent many years caring for my siblings, as well as nannying for multiple families through my adolescence and my young adulthood. I’ve cared for infants, toddlers, and school-aged children. In addition, I’ve provided drop off/pickup transportation for school, cooked meals, packed lunches, and taken children to recreational activities and social events. I am also an animal lover with a cat and dog. Growing up , my family fostered many animals which ignited my passion to rescue and care for all animals.

Kyla was absolutely wonderful! She was incredibly sweet, patient, and genuinely funny — the kind of sitter who instantly puts both kids and parents at ease. She and my 7-year-old had a full day of fun: they completed a CrunchLabs kit, built a LEGO set, headed to the playground, and even came home to do over an hour of gooey science experiments. My child was thrilled from start to finish. Kyla is truly a gem, and we can’t wait to have her back!

Shana $25 per hour for 1 child

I have been a preschool teacher for 5 years and it's my dream job. Working with children is the most rewarding thing I've ever done. In addition to my experience, I have 30 units of college coursework in Early Childhood Education. I've worked with both adults and children with learning and behavioral differences and am kind, compassionate, and nurturing. As a mom of two teenagers, I know how hard it is to trust someone to take care of your children. I have excellent references from 4 different preschools including a nature school, Waldorf preschool, and the Multicultural Children's Center here in Santa Rosa. I am currently a teacher at a large family farm and daycare. I am comfortable taking care of animals. Cats, dogs, farm animals...I love them all! In my spare time, I love to get outside and hike and swim. I'm an avid concert/theater goer as well. I hope to hear from you!

Alana $29 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m Alana, a dependable and compassionate caregiver based in Rohnert Park. I have several years of professional experience in customer service, healthcare, and hospitality, where I’ve developed strong communication, organization, and problem-solving skills. I have worked in healthcare the last 2 years and have found my passion always based in caring for others. With that I grew up with my own god mother having a day care and helping care for the kids ranging from 2-17+. I have also baby sat for several neighbors over the years and can provide reference’s ranging for children 2-17+. I’m patient, attentive, and calm under pressure, and I genuinely enjoy creating a safe, positive environment for children. I’m happy to help with playtime, homework, meal preparation, bedtime routines, light housekeeping, and caring for pets if needed. I understand the importance of reliability and clear communication with parents, and I always strive to make families feel comfortable and confident while they’re away. Whether you need an occasional date-night sitter or regular childcare, I’d love the opportunity to support your family.
