Hello! My name is Noemy! I am currently a student at Napa Valley College! I have been babysitting for about 7 years now and I have been working as a nanny for almost two years now!

Karolline 1 review
Petaluma
$30 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 4 families in Sonoma, CA

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.

Booked by 1 family in Sonoma, CA

Hello, my name is Layla, Im 28, and I have a 1-year-old little boy at home. I currently nanny for a family a few days a week, but am looking to make an extra income with the occasional date nights, or out of towners looking for sitters. I have plenty of references and years of experience with different families of various ages. My son is the highlight of my life and I would treat your kids no less. I could make a positive impact on somebody's family, and can also provide reliable pet care if needed. I am very animal friendly. My qualifications include CPR, and First Aid certified. Please feel free to message me for any further questions.

Chessie Petaluma
$30 per hour for 1 child

Hi, my name is Chessie! I hold a B.A. in Early Childhood Education from Sonoma State University and currently work full-time as a Pre-K teacher at a wonderful preschool in Marin. I’m looking for part-time and occasional babysitting opportunities to earn a little extra as I prepare for my wedding this March. Born and raised in Petaluma, I developed my passion for early childhood education at a young age. I began babysitting for friends and neighbors as a young teen and started working as a summer camp counselor at 14. While in college, I worked in an after-school program supporting children in grades K–5. For the past six years, I’ve been a dedicated Pre-K teacher, gaining extensive hands-on experience supporting children’s growth, learning, and social-emotional development. I am CPR and First Aid certified and have over 10 years of experience caring for children and families in my community. I pride myself on being nurturing, dependable, and engaging, and I love creating a safe, fun, and supportive environment for every child in my care.

Suseth Petaluma
$40 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m a full-time college student completing my undergraduate degree for law school and a full-time daycare teacher with over 8 years of experience working with children through daycare, babysitting, volunteer work, and children’s ministry. For the past two years, I’ve worked at the YMCA, where I’ve received certifications in youth development, behavior management, safety, and CPR. I regularly lead groups of 30–50 children, create engaging activities, and support other staff to help ensure a safe, positive environment for every child. In addition to daycare, I have experience babysitting for families by preparing meals, helping with homework, transporting children to school and activities, maintaining routines, and creating fun, age-appropriate activities. I also teach Sunday School, where I plan lessons and activities for children. My top priority is creating a safe, caring environment where children feel supported and parents feel confident leaving their little ones in my care. Outside of work, I enjoy singing on my church’s worship team, practicing French (I’m bilingual in English and Spanish!), playing soccer and tennis, and getting creative with arts and crafts.
