Agustina $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Agustina, I’m 24 years old, and I have experience caring for children from 1.5 years old up to 10–11 years old. I really enjoy doing arts and crafts, as well as outdoor activities like hiking, going to the park, visiting playgrounds, and even exploring nature by observing insects. I also love doing puzzles and organizing fun activities like costume parties. I’m very passionate about cooking and enjoy creating new recipes and ideas—especially healthy ones.

Lorena $30 per hour for 1 child

I’m a caring and dependable babysitter with 7 years of experience looking after children of all ages. Along with professional experience, I regularly babysit my nieces and nephews, which includes school pick-ups, homework help, and fun activities like going to the park or doing creative projects together. I love keeping kids engaged, active, and safe while also following each family’s routines and expectations. Families describe me as reliable, patient, and easy to connect with, and I always bring a positive attitude into the home. In addition to childcare, I also have experience fostering cats and volunteering at an animal shelter, so I’m comfortable with pets too. Whether it’s after-school care, evenings, or weekends, I’m flexible to meet your family’s needs. My goal is to create a safe, fun, and nurturing environment where kids feel cared for and parents have peace of mind.

Natalie $28 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Graton, CA

My name is Natalie, a bilingual (English and French and learning Spanish) Windsor High senior with over six years of childcare experience mentored by my nanny’s who are 30-year industry veteran. Caring for others is a gift of mine I have had since a young age! My experience in student government, serving on a school board and more makes me wise beyond my years and very responsible. As an active figure skater and dancer, I have plenty of energy to foster an environment that prioritizes outdoor play, fun quality engagement and creative crafts, though I am equally patient and calm when caring for infants and any child that needs it. I am a licensed driver and capable cook, happy to assist with school pickups, errands, and meal prep as well. As a lifelong pet owner, I have extensive experience with house and dog sitting, ensuring your furry friends and home are perfectly cared for. I also provide compassionate, non-medical senior care and am a dedicated, mature professional ready to support your household before I head to college this fall.
