Lorena Windsor
$30 per hour for 1 child

I’m a caring and dependable babysitter with 7 years of experience looking after children of all ages. Along with professional experience, I regularly babysit my nieces and nephews, which includes school pick-ups, homework help, and fun activities like going to the park or doing creative projects together. I love keeping kids engaged, active, and safe while also following each family’s routines and expectations. Families describe me as reliable, patient, and easy to connect with, and I always bring a positive attitude into the home. In addition to childcare, I also have experience fostering cats and volunteering at an animal shelter, so I’m comfortable with pets too. Whether it’s after-school care, evenings, or weekends, I’m flexible to meet your family’s needs. My goal is to create a safe, fun, and nurturing environment where kids feel cared for and parents have peace of mind.

Alana Rohnert Park
$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.
