Natalie $28 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Windsor, 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.

$30 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 11 families in Windsor, CA

Hi! I’m Olivia :) I’m currently attending the Santa Rosa Junior College and have been working with kids for many years now. I absolutely love being around children and have experience with all ages, from newborns (3 months old), babies to toddlers and older kids. I’ve been babysitting since I was pretty young, and over the years I’ve helped with pretty much everything… meals, naps, crafts, outings, driving to activities, and just keeping kids busy and having fun! I love being outside, going on walks and little adventures, reading, baking, doing crafts, and finding fun things to do together. I’m also happy to help out around the house with things like cleaning, cooking, organizing, or running errands when needed. I’m a huge animal lover too, so pets are never a problem! I love both cats and dogs and am not allergic to any animals. Overall, I’m pretty easygoing, caring, and love being able to become someone a family and their kids feel comfortable with. :)

“Olivia was flexible with my start time and very responsible. She was a great communicator, asked good questions, and I felt safe leaving my 5 month old with her for 8 hours!”

Booked by 11 families in Windsor, CA

Hello, My name is Lauryn, I’m 26 years old, and I have been a babysitter/nanny for over 8 years now working with children of all ages! I am passionate about helping kids learn and grow while making sure to still have fun along the way. I graduated from Sonoma State University in 2020 with my Bachelor’s in Business Management. I also just completed my Multiple Subject Credential to become an elementary school teacher! My current rate is $22 per hour for one child that is *above* 3 years of age and $25 per hour for one child that is *under* 3 years of age. I have plenty of references that I can provide for you as well. A majority of my experience comes from making local connections in my community. I can't wait to meet you and your family! - Lauryn

$20 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 228 families in Windsor, 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.*
