Find infant babysitters in Sonoma, CA

Hi I’m Jayla and I’m looking to help families out with watching their kids and or pets. I have two younger brothers that I still take care of— same with 3 of my grandmas dogs since two of them were mine as well. I’d like to use my ability to help others since I do have the experience. I currently have a lot of free time since I’m a part time college student so I want to use that time to put it towards providing care and fun. I’m reliable, responsible, patient, and I’d love to be apart of children’s and pet’s happiness since that also makes me happy.

A bit about me: I am a preschool teacher at Good Shepherd Lutheran School in Novato, and have been working there for 4 years now. I work daily with children ages 2-4. I am graduating this spring with an AS degree in Child and Family Studies from Napa Valley College, and I am CPR and First Aid certified. Prior to teaching, I also have several years of experience babysitting children ages 0-10, including babysitting for individual families, and providing childcare for large groups of children at events. I love working with children and am fascinated by the process of their development! Their little minds are absolutely intriguing. I love to play and experiment alongside them, and my approach to discipline and teaching is very much based in authoritative parenting style (aka gentle parenting) and play-based learning. If you have any questions, please ask! I know how important it is to leave your little ones with someone you can trust!

Hi! I’m a full-time college student completing my undergraduate degree for law school and a full-time daycare teacher with over 8 years of experience working with children through daycare, babysitting, volunteer work, and children’s ministry. For the past two years, I’ve worked at the YMCA, where I’ve received certifications in youth development, behavior management, safety, and CPR. I regularly lead groups of 30–50 children, create engaging activities, and support other staff to help ensure a safe, positive environment for every child. In addition to daycare, I have experience babysitting for families by preparing meals, helping with homework, transporting children to school and activities, maintaining routines, and creating fun, age-appropriate activities. I also teach Sunday School, where I plan lessons and activities for children. My top priority is creating a safe, caring environment where children feel supported and parents feel confident leaving their little ones in my care. Outside of work, I enjoy singing on my church’s worship team, practicing French (I’m bilingual in English and Spanish!), playing soccer and tennis, and getting creative with arts and crafts.
