I have 9 years of experience babysitting and caring for children from infant to adolescence. I am loving, patient, and very energetic! I love reading, arts & crafts, and dancing. I am fluent in English and Spanish! I have completed many child development classes and through that, I earned my Associate Teacher certificate. During my freshman year in high school, I worked with many families doing afterschool care. I would also volunteer at the Downtown River Boys and Girls club in Petaluma every day after school. Soon after I was offered a program coordinator position for the Boys & Club where I ran all kinds of enrichment programs while also helping children with their homework and building warm relationships with them. I also volunteered at Mt. Taylor Children’s Center in Rohnert Park where I engaged children in playtime, read books, and made sure children were safe at all times. My work through high school helped me realize I have a passion for caring and teaching children. I am a great role model for children and want to help guide them through their life’s in the most positive manner.

“Great with our kids while we were in town for a party!”

Hello👋 My name is Maggie and I am looking for occasional nanny gigs/jobs to fill my spare time! I have a BA from Sonoma State University majoring in Anthropology with a minor in Spanish and an MA in Biological Anthropology from Texas State University. I currently teach biological anthropology courses at the Santa Rosa Junior College. I have been babysitting quite literally my whole life! Starting since I was a child with my younger sister, throughout my teenage years, and more professionally on Urbansitter throughout my 20’s and 30’s. I enjoy playing creatively indoors and out, as well as doing crafts, and am great at mealtimes (I love to cook and am quite capable in the kitchen). I look forward to meeting you and your families!

“Our little one quickly took to Maggie, and she handled nap/bedtime, meals, and entertainment naturally. We look forward to using her again when visiting wine country with our LO. ”

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

"We absolutely LOVE Isa — our family was so fortunate to have found her through UrbanSitter. I'm a first-time mom, and it took me a long time to find a full-time nanny I could trust to care for our sweet infant boy. Our boy connected with her immediately, and we couldn't have asked for anyone else to care for him. Her calming presence was also perfect for parents like us who work from home. We feel so lucky UrbanSitter helped us find someone who has truly become a part of our family."

"I was so stressed about finding a part-time nanny for my 14-month-old son, who has moderate separation anxiety and hadn't been left with anyone but family before, but we were both immediately at ease in Buhay's presence. Her empathy and commitment to understanding child development are apparent in every interaction I've witnessed between her and my toddler. I feel very lucky to have found her."

"Erna watched our now 5 year old daughter and 3 year old son for a few years. She is punctual, responsible, honest, and playful. What we appreciated most was that she was thoughtful in ensuring that we had a little break; for example, when the kids were clingy, she was able to divert their attention with games or songs or walks to the park. We felt very comfortable leaving our kids with Erna because of her caring nature and experience that spans a decade (including being a live-in nanny)."
