Hi, my name is Karen. I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Child Development and I am CPR and First Aid certified. I have over six years of experience working in childcare with toddlers, preschoolers, and school-age children. I enjoy planning engaging activities such as arts and crafts, tutoring, and hands-on learning experiences that support children’s development. I am comfortable preparing breakfast, lunch, and snacks, assisting with light household tasks, and providing transportation to appointments or activities. I am dependable, patient, and value clear communication with families. I also have a love for animals especially dogs and am happy to work in homes with pets.

Hi families, my name is Maya! I have 5 years of full time nannying and mother's helper experience with newborns and infants as young as 1 month, and children as old as 10. I have most often worked with multiple children (anywhere from 2-4 at once). I have in depth experience with potty training, transitioning to solids, sleep training (self soothe method and CIO method), tummy time, and speech delays and recently have experience with nanny shares. I also have coursework in early speech development and Linguistics. I’m trilingual and speak both Spanish and Portuguese fluently. Additionally, I am CPR and First Aid certified, Water Safe, and able to travel. In the past, I feel I have thrived most in positions that have had me double as a mother's helper. As a mother's helper I have frequently picked children up from school, provided transportation to extracurricular activities, sent out and picked up dry cleaning, kept the home stocked with essentials, grocery shopped, meal planned/prepped, made trips to the post office, taken care of the family pet, scheduled appointments, made vacation arrangements as well as accompanied my nanny family on vacation and cared for children overnight for added support. I consider myself to be very positive, outgoing, a team player, reliable, honest, responsible, flexible, efficient, communicative, upbeat, and most of all FUN! Some of my strengths and talents include organization and cooking. Please don’t hesitate to contact me If I sound like a good fit for your needs! Thank you for stopping by my profile! *resumé available upon request *in the process of updating my video profile. Video is out of date and new one is pending approval!

Hello! I’m Nicole and I am a part-time student, trying to finish my undergraduate studies at SSU after a long sabbatical! I am also a first time mom to a wonderful 4 mo son ♥️ I enjoy exploring new places, trying out new restaurants and foods, walking with my dog outdoors, exercising, reading and attending concerts with friends. My experience working with children has taught me so much and transformed me into the person I am today. I became an alert listener, a wise decision maker, a patient advisor, a smarter supervisor, a fun-loving and creative adult, a generous and open-minded caregiver, and most importantly a loyal and loving friend to the kids I work with. This has been an invaluable experience and will surely help me in my endeavors for the future :) ***PLEASE READ BELOW*** On a side note: it is crucial for me to let parents and families know that my rates are subjective to distance as well as the major holidays.

Hi! My name is Rachel and I'm a first grade teacher in Santa Rosa. I've been working with kids for over 10 years and absolutely love it. Most recently I lived in Spain as an Au Pair for a family with three children (and their sweet dog.) I loved getting to know their unique personalities, taking them on outings, and doing projects together. Outside of teaching I love to cook, craft, walk, work out, and do yoga. I enjoy bringing these skills into my childcare positions when applicable. In addition to regular babysitting responsibilities, I am also happy to help with: - Homework and tutoring - Light cooking and housework - Transportation - Walks and outings - Playdates My hourly rate is flexible but does reflect my skill set and experience. I look forward to connecting with you and your family. Please send me a message if you would like to talk further or have any questions! ~Rachel
