Naomi $28 per hour for 1 child

My name is Naomi and I’ve been a caregiver for about 10years! I’ve worked with all ages from 3 weeks old to 7 years old and part-time 11 year old! I’ve also worked with twins and special needs children (on the spectrum) Each and every child I’ve work with is very special and dear to my heart which has spark my interest in pursuing a career in this line of work! Currently in school for Early Childhood Education! Being able to help out families with different children has helped me understand that each and every child is unique and has different sort of needs! And as a nanny that provides care my job is to make sure each child I come in contact with has a memorable upbringing and their needs catered to! My friends and family may describe me as funny and bubbly and most children I work with describe me as scary cat😂 I describe myself as the baby Whisperer 😂 I’m very appreciative of each and every opportunity I get to work with families and I take pride in what I do!

Chessie $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.

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 experience in nannying, caregiving, healthcare, and hospitality. Where I’ve developed strong communication, organization, flexibility and multitasking skills. I have always found my passion always based in caring and supporting for others. With that I grew up with my own god mother having a day care and helping care for the kids ranging from 1 -17+. I have also nannied for several neighbors and professional families over the years and can provide reference’s ranging for children 1-17+. I’m patient, attentive, and calm under pressure. I genuinely enjoy creating a safe, positive environment for children and the families I work with. I always hope to leave a lasting positive impression and impact. 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 families. I always strive to make others 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 and needs. Please do not hesitate to inquire on any further information. 😊 Some fun facts about myself are in my free time I love to read, hike, and enjoy beach / nature trips with my german shepherd dog and family.

"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!"
