Hello! My name is Samantha, I just moved to Santa Rosa area, originally from Los Angeles. I did some studying to get my associates degrees. I am offering child care and household services. I have been taking care of my families babies since I was 15 years old. I love crafting with the kiddos. I can cook, clean, run errands, and open to any tasks. I am not allergic to cats nor dogs and happy to work with family pets. I would be more than happy to provide the care and support your family needs. Please feel free to reach out with any questions!
Hi!! My name is Aaliyah! :) I’m an undergraduate student at San Francisco State University working towards a degree in Interior Design. I’ve spent a good chunk of my life babysitting my youngest brother who was born with cerebral palsy — who is now 14 and I still take care of him when I can! So, I’m used to diaper changing, feeding and bathing. I’m creative at heart — I believe art is a beautiful part of development and self expression with children. So, I’m big on doing and introducing arts & crafts with children!!
Hi! I’m a nurturing and patient caregiver with 3–5 years of experience working with children, seniors, and households. I am also a nursing student, which means I bring a strong medical foundation and a deep understanding of health and safety to every family I work with. I hold a CPR certificate, so you can feel confident your loved ones are in capable and prepared hands. Whether it’s keeping kids engaged and safe, assisting seniors with daily needs, or maintaining a clean and organized home, I take pride in providing dependable, heartfelt care. Families can count on me to show up consistently and treat their loved ones with kindness and respect.
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.
