Natalie 1 review
$32 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Kenwood, CA

Hi! My name is Natalie and I am currently attending graduate school online. I adore kids and have over 10 years of childcare experience across nannying, daycare, mentoring youth in foster care, and as a Crisis Counselor at a mental health program for teens. I truly enjoy working with any age group, with the majority of my experience being with ages 2-17. My favorite thing about working with younger kids is getting to witness their imagination and creativity, and for older kids, I love to witness them come into their true identity as they find their place in the world. While my personal approach to childcare is inspired in part by the RIE technique (which emphasizes respect, emotional attunement, independence, and allowing children space for authentic exploration and unstructured play), I have had the opportunity to work with such diverse families that I tend to begin my approach by asking the specific family I am working with what their needs are and what they are wanting from me, as I have received very different answers to those questions over the years! However, I do value time outdoors, limited screen time, and self-directed play. In addition to childcare, I also have extensive experience caring for pets, including cats and dogs, and can hold other tasks such as household chores, errands, transportation, meal prep, homework help, and organization as needed. Families I have worked with often describe me as patient, dependable, communicative, and highly intuitive with children. I genuinely enjoy building meaningful long-term relationships with both kids and parents, and creating environments where children feel safe, respected, and free to be themselves!

“Natalie kept my 2 kids (ages 2&4) entertained all day. She is warm, friendly, smart and caring. She brought some toys to immediately draw in my kids and distract from mom and dad leaving for the day. Highly recommend!”

Dominique $27 per hour for 1 child

Hi, I’m Dominique! I’ve been babysitting since I was 12 and became a full-time nanny at 17, caring for three families over three years. My experience includes getting kids ready for school, preparing lunches, school drop-offs and pickups, homework help, activities, and keeping a safe and fun environment. I also helped care for my three younger siblings and have experience caring for pets and helping families with light cleaning and household tasks. For the past four years, I’ve worked as a Director in senior living communities, which has strengthened my patience, communication, organization, and caregiving skills. I’m dependable, caring, and love helping families feel confident that their children are in good hands!

"We were incredibly grateful that Maya was able to help us out with a last-minute childcare emergency. She matched our 9-year-old's energy with arts & crafts, some quiet reading, and a walk around the neighborhood. We'd have Maya back in a heartbeat!"
