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.

Devon 1 review
$30 per hour for 1 child

I am a dedicated TK Para with a strong professional background in healthcare and behavioral health. I thrive in supportive roles and believe in the power of nurturing environments. My passion truly lies in working with children, | absolutely love kids! This is fueled by my own experience as a mother to two wonderful boys, aged 5 and 14. Balancing the energy of a kindergartner with the curiosity of a teenager gives me unique perspective, patience, and enthusiasm that I bring into both my professional and personal life. I am committed to helping children learn, grow, and succeed! In addition to helping children learn and grow, I can help with light housework work as well as cook and meal preparation.

“We’ve had such a great experience with Devon! She’s watched my 3-year-old a few times now for date nights, and each time my daughter has been comfortable, happy, and well cared for. The biggest compliment is that my daughter asked for her again, which says everything. Devon did art projects with my little one, and when we came home there was so much beautiful artwork they had created together. She also cooked my daughter’s dinner and cleaned up, which I truly appreciated. I felt completely at ease leaving my child in her care and would absolutely recommend her to any family looking for a kind, engaging, and trustworthy babysitter.”
