Hi! My name is Natalie and am 25 years old. I'm an experienced babysitter with 10+ years of experience who has a passion for child care with a goal of becoming a pediatric nurse. received my bachelor's of science in nursing this past May at Samuel Merritt University in Oakland and am currently finding occasional babysitting jobs as I study for my state board exam. I wanted to go into nursing because I have always enjoyed helping people. I have always enjoyed working with children, which is why I chose pediatric nursing and why I have always gravitated to childcare jobs. My mom and grandmother owned a daycare for 13 years of my life and I was a big help, so I have experience taking care of newborns all the way to teenagers. I have volunteered during the summer at many camps as a youth counselor. During the pandemic I worked through zoom to provide one on one care with children that needed homework assistance or just virtual playtime. I have worked as an after school instructor at my local elementary school, where I am currently working. My responsibilities have included driving to/from school and sport practices, crafts, bedtime routines, and tutoring. I can also clean, tidy up the house and run errands if needed. My main goal is to always make sure children are having fun in an educational way and providing a safe environment for them. I am a big fan of arts and crafts so I always carry crafts around me in case a fun little activity can be done. I also love pets and take care of them as well! I have had many hamsters, cats, dogs, chinchillas, etc...so I am fine with giving them my extra care. I am also bilingual and speak English and Spanish fluently, and wouldn’t mind giving a little Spanish lesson every now and then. I like to her walk my dogs, do puzzles, and watch movies in my spare time. I am fully vaccinated and CPR certified. I look forward to meeting you! 😊😊

Hello Families! My name is Luna and I am a therapeutic nanny. What is a therapeutic nanny you ask? Its a childcare provider who is trained and skilled in therapeutic enrichment of kids and therapeutic coaching of parents. Essentially I bring all the fun and exciting aspects of the nanny experience while incorporating therapeutc behavioral support for both kids and parents. I have many years of working with youth in community based work who need support in emotional/behavioral management, Neurodivergent coaching (spectrum, ADHD, PTSD, etc), anxiety management, families who adopted or are fostering, and families who experienced trauma or separation/ disconnection/divorve. My approach is extremely strength-based and my goal is to support your youth in building a healthy confidence/relationship to their needs. How I love to engage in my work is by creating a fun and safe space that also creates a trauma informed and culturally responsive environment where your kids can flourish into their best selves with boundaries and limits tailored to their very unique personalities. I have the capacity to work with big spirited kids along with kids who are quiet/need more introverted time. So let's definitely break out the arts and crafts while going on adventures discovering to insects and plants!

Hi! I am a 22 year old recent graduate of NYU, and have moved back to the bay. While at NYU, I worked with a family for two years weekly helping with cooking, transportation, hw help and much more. In addition to that I have worked with many families occasionally as needed. I have tutored, cooked, cleaned, and have lots of experience with bedtime routines for a wide range of ages. I also did a summer internship at a women's shelter where I worked one on one with toddlers. I am about to start a job here in the Bay Area where I will be teaching at an elementary school program. As past of the onboarding requirements I have gotten fingerprinted, as well as TB testing. I have driven a car for 5 years and have a clean record. I have my own vehicle for parents looking for help with transportation! I truly value and appreciate the time I spend with kids, and have learned so much from them. I can confidently say that I will provide a safe, reliable, and fun environment for any kid that I babysit.
