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!

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 made our first time having a babysitter for our 7 month old, such a good experience. Her communication, thoughtfulness, and professionalism were wonderful. We couldn't have asked for someone better to care for our little guy while we were out. Thank you Shirley.”

I’m a 30 year old Irish, Mathematics and Science Teacher. I have 8 years full time teaching experience and I have worked with children most of my life. I come from a large family, of which I am the eldest and so helped my parents with my 4 younger siblings. I was a member of the Red Cross at home and I am comfortable with First Aid and CPR. I am a very active person and love to be busy and outdoors. I’m a punctual and professional person yet caring and loving. I am currently employed as a full time teacher in a local Catholic school. I can provide references if required. Looking forward to meeting you and your kids!

“Paula was so fantastic - my kids loved her, and she was communicative and kind with their big energy. Thank you Paula!”

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 :)
