I started babysitting at age twelve, and have now worked (and played!) with kids for over twenty years as a childcare provider, coach, and educator. I have over seven years of experience as a full-time nanny, including multiple long-term nanny shares that started with infants as young as two months old. I'm a patient and nurturing childcare provider, I have a sense of humor, and above all, I understand the important responsibility of caring for a child. I'm well-educated about the physical, motor, and cognitive developments that infants and children experience, and I've done ECE coursework. I've worked with a variety of parenting philosophies, sleep training methods, and separation anxiety strategies. As a caretaker, I use my expertise to complement and reinforce your style of parenting. I'm CPR/first-aid certified (adults, children, and infants), and I'm up to date on all my vaccines, including COVID-19 and flu boosters. I own a Read more reliable car, and I have a valid CA driver's license with experience driving children in Oakland and the surrounding areas. I can provide excellent references.
