Booked by 228 families in Forestville, CA

Hi, my name is Ryann! At this time, I am only looking for occasional jobs as I cannot commit to a regularly scheduled babysitting job. I have a bachelor's degree in psychology with a minor in criminal justice studies from San Francisco State University, and I am planning to go back to school to obtain a master's degree sometime in the next few years. I am up-to-date on all my vaccinations and boosters (including COVID-19), and I am trained in CPR/AED/First Aid, however my certification has lapsed. While in college, I took three courses specifically related to child and adolescent psychology and development. I began babysitting when I was 12 years old, and have worked with children of various ages over the years (newborns to preteens) as a babysitter, nanny, and volunteer camp counselor. When weather permits, I like to take the kids outside, for walks or to play at the park. However, I am just as happy staying inside, playing games, doing arts and crafts, or reading to the kids. I can also speak conversational Spanish. In my spare time, I like to read, bake, and make jewelry. Regarding COVID-19: I am happy to provide proof of full vaccination, including booster shots. I ask that all household members of families that I work with receive the vaccine and boosters when possible, unless medically unable. I expect mutual transparency; I cannot babysit when someone in the household is sick and/or has been exposed to COVID-19 and expect to be told as soon as possible so that the job can be canceled. Likewise, I will inform all families if I or someone in my household is sick and/or has been exposed to COVID-19 and will cancel the job with as much notice as possible. I will wear a mask while babysitting if preferred, just let me know! *Please note, for liability reasons, I will not drive children in my personal vehicle; however, I am willing to drive children in a parent or guardian’s vehicle, provided that their insurance policy covers me. Similarly, I am also willing to transport children via public transportation, taxi, or Uber/Lyft.*

Booked by 2 families in Forestville, CA

Hello- My name is Kyla. I am a young, energetic, and responsible 26-year old who loves to engage and play with kids and animals. I am currently looking for In between work as I was just laid off due to the economy! I’m looking for additional income in these hard times. I am offering senior, child care, transportation to/from school, or pet care. I am the oldest of three, with a ten year age gap between my siblings. I’ve spent many years caring for my siblings, as well as nannying for multiple families through my adolescence and my young adulthood. I’ve cared for infants, toddlers, and school-aged children. In addition, I’ve provided drop off/pickup transportation for school, cooked meals, packed lunches, and taken children to recreational activities and social events. I am also an animal lover with a cat and dog. Growing up , my family fostered many animals which ignited my passion to rescue and care for all animals.

“Kyla was absolutely wonderful! She was incredibly sweet, patient, and genuinely funny — the kind of sitter who instantly puts both kids and parents at ease. She and my 7-year-old had a full day of fun: they completed a CrunchLabs kit, built a LEGO set, headed to the playground, and even came home to do over an hour of gooey science experiments. My child was thrilled from start to finish. Kyla is truly a gem, and we can’t wait to have her back!”

Booked by 3 families in Forestville, CA

Hi, my name is Estefany, and I am currently a second year student going to third year at Sonoma State University. I am offering child care, senior care, and help with household errands. I have several years of babysitting experience caring for children from ages 2 to 17, and I am comfortable working with different age groups and personalities. I am patient, responsible, energetic, and always make communication a priority by asking questions, confirming instructions, and being dependable and on time. I can help with driving, errands, cleaning, and creating a safe and positive environment for families. I also had some experience with senior care and am always open to learning and gaining new experience. I had a valid Driver’s license and pride myself on being a good listener and someone families can trust. If my availability does not completely fit your schedule, I am always open to communicating and trying to make things work.

“Estefany was such a pleasure! Our kids loved her and she truly made a very special birthday celebration possible for us to attend. We can’t thank her enough for being so wonderful. Whenever we need someone we can trust to safely watch our kids, she is who we are going to call! Anyone who hires her to watch their kids are lucky to have found her. ”
