Azure $28 per hour for 1 child

My name is Azure and I am a Nanny from beautiful Sonoma County. With over five years of experience caring for children—primarily ages 4 and under—and three years supporting elderly clients, I bring a calm, compassionate presence to every family I work with. For the past three years, I’ve been a full-time nanny for one family, supporting their daughter’s growth from toddlerhood into preschool. My responsibilities have included meal prep, potty training, school pickup, homework help, and light housekeeping, providing dependable, all-around support for busy parents. I’ve also worked with children on the autism spectrum and bring a patient, individualized approach to each child’s unique needs. My background in elderly care, including hospice and dementia support, has deepened my empathy and taught me the importance of making people feel seen, heard, and valued—principles I bring into every aspect of childcare. I’m dedicated, dependable, and passionate about helping children feel safe, confident, and cared for in their everyday routines.

Natalie $28 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Rutherford, CA

My name is Natalie, a bilingual (English and French and learning Spanish) Windsor High senior with over six years of childcare experience mentored by my nanny’s who are 30-year industry veteran. Caring for others is a gift of mine I have had since a young age! My experience in student government, serving on a school board and more makes me wise beyond my years and very responsible. As an active figure skater and dancer, I have plenty of energy to foster an environment that prioritizes outdoor play, fun quality engagement and creative crafts, though I am equally patient and calm when caring for infants and any child that needs it. I am a licensed driver and capable cook, happy to assist with school pickups, errands, and meal prep as well. As a lifelong pet owner, I have extensive experience with house and dog sitting, ensuring your furry friends and home are perfectly cared for. I also provide compassionate, non-medical senior care and am a dedicated, mature professional ready to support your household before I head to college this fall.
