I am back in the North Bay and will be here until early October. I miss babysitting little ones and look forward to working with you if we are a good fit :) My husband and I have been traveling the world for over 4 years. Because I love babies & toddlers, I still want to babysit while on the road. I mostly work with kids between the ages of 6 months to 2. The calendar may not show all my availability. Please reach out if you like my profile. Thanks for your consideration! I worked in the corporate sector focused on finance until 2015 when I left my position at salesforce. Have been self employed since. I decided to become a babysitter because I love children and generally well liked by them. It’s how I get my kids fix :) I tend to become their playmate but will set boundaries when it comes to their safety and well being. I am a foodie and love to cook. My husband and I eat mostly organic food that we make in our own kitchen. I can definitely whip up a healthy delicious meal for your little ones! Cancellation Policy: I am flexible on time adjustments and cancellations as I understand unexpected situations arise. As long as I am available, I will accept extensions and if you need to cancel partial or entire bookings, I do not have any minimum charge or advance notice requirements. I will only charge for hours worked.

Shirley was very trustworthy, knowledgeable, helpful and adaptable. Look forward to having Shirley over again soon!

Hi, I’m Caroline! I’m 30 years old, currently living in Petaluma, and attending nursing school. I’m available for part-time, occasional, date-night, and weekend babysitting. I have over 10 years of experience caring for children of all ages, from newborns to school-aged kids. I’m patient, responsible, CPR certified, and have excellent references. I love working with children and creating a safe, fun, and caring environment for them. Feel free to reach out—I’d love to connect!

Caroline watched our 3 year old during a work day while my husband and I worked from the house. She showed up early and communicated well. Our son took to her immediately, and they played all day. He had a wonderful time running around with her, and he was laughing and talking all day. We look forward to hiring her again soon.

I love all children and all animals. I don’t mind doing housework like cleaning up in the kitchen either. I’m comfortable cooking for your children as well. I’ve been babysitting since I was 15 :)

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!

"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!"
