Booked by 3 families in Petaluma, CA

Hi, I’m Kelly, and I would love to provide childcare for your family! I have over 10 years of childcare experience, including 6.5 years as a nanny for a family with two children. In that role, I supported their daily routines, helped with schoolwork, and built a warm, trusting relationship with both kids and their parents. Beyond babysitting and nannying, I've worked for 3.5 years at an after-school math and reading program, giving me experience with tutoring and working with kids in both group settings and one-on-one care. I love engaging children through hands-on crafts and games, and I'm passionate about helping kids feel secure, supported, and excited about their day. I'm CPR and First Aid certified and hold a certification from the Nanny Institute. Safety and well-being are always my top priorities, alongside creating a fun, nurturing environment for the children in my care. I look forward to meeting you and the opportunity to support your family!

Naomi $28 per hour for 1 child

My name is Naomi and I’ve been a caregiver for about 10years! I’ve worked with all ages from 3 weeks old to 7 years old and part-time 11 year old! I’ve also worked with twins and special needs children (on the spectrum) Each and every child I’ve work with is very special and dear to my heart which has spark my interest in pursuing a career in this line of work! Currently in school for Early Childhood Education! Being able to help out families with different children has helped me understand that each and every child is unique and has different sort of needs! And as a nanny that provides care my job is to make sure each child I come in contact with has a memorable upbringing and their needs catered to! My friends and family may describe me as funny and bubbly and most children I work with describe me as scary cat😂 I describe myself as the baby Whisperer 😂 I’m very appreciative of each and every opportunity I get to work with families and I take pride in what I do!
