I'd describe my personality as a patient, responsible, good listener, love being around kids, loving, and caring I like working with kids because I love having young kids around especially when they are at the age that they still enjoy playing and learning. I'm looking for a job that will be flexible and also a job that I enjoy doing especially during school and I would want to have more job experience with working with children for the future. I started working with kids when I started my college year. I've had the opportunity to work with children the past 2 years and it's been an amazing experience. In my spare time, I like to go to the gym. I usually like to hangout with my friends as well and I like going to my brother's soccer game especially on the weekends One thing you should know about me is I am a very responsible and kind person. My skills include being patient, make sure they are well attended, making sure they feel safe and comfortable

Hi - My name is Olivia and I'm currently in my third year at the Santa Rosa Junior College. I am offering child care, senior care, and any household services. I absolutely adore children of all ages, and love being a babysitter. I've been watching/ caring for newborns, infants, toddlers, and kids since I was nine years old.

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!”

Azure Sebastopol
$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.
