Find experienced child care providers in Orinda, CA

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! My name is Joanna, I’m 27 years old and I’m excited to meet your little one(s). I would describe myself as attentive, caring, and very silly. I like to make arts and crafts, play board games, read, and enjoy nature. I’m able to help with homework and light house duties if needed. I’m CPR certified and I have a BLS. I have experience with children with disabilities. I’ve worked with children quite some time now, I started when I was 17 years old. I’ve worked with many different families (short term and long term). I’m very flexible with schedules and I’m comfortable with pets. I worked full time as a certified nursing assistant helping the elderly and nannying as a part time but I realized I enjoyed being a nanny more than my full time job. That is when I became a 1:1 aide at a school. I enjoy working with children because I love to see them learn and grow and they’re always such happy souls. Your children are guaranteed to be in good hands with me! :)

Hello, my name is Teresa and I’m excited to have the opportunity to work with you and your family. I live in Oakland (Montclair) but I’m open to commuting to work.

I’m highly skilled in newborn care, time management and multi-tasking. My areas of expertise are infant sleep training (help infants to adjust to a consistent sleep schedule), potty training and preparing healthy age- appropriate meals. I strive to create an atmosphere where your child is safe, happy and well- nourished. I’m patient, reliable, committed, and trained in First Aid/ CPR. Resume and references available upon request, and I’m available to travel domestically and internationally.

Hi, my name is Priscilla. I graduated from University of California, Davis where I studied Human Development and Education. I enjoyed working with children. I have been teaching in preschool (age 7 months to 5 years old) for over 12 years as my full time job in a Montessori school. I also enjoy working with children who are in elementary, middle and high schoolers. I have been privately in person and online tutoring for over 5 years. I can tutor in math, English and Mandarin subjects. I like to babysit and meet some new families and kiddos. I can work for the day night, weekends, and school closed for any holidays. I have a high level of bilingual proficiency in Chinese and English. I am holding the California Child Development Site Supervisor Permit. I continue taking Early Childhood Education courses to develop professionally and improve her knowledge.

Hello! My name is Violet, and I have 8 years of childcare experience. I have been a nanny exclusively for about 4 years and have cared for kids of all ages, although my "specialty" is with younger ones! I love caring for infants, as I am currently working as a Postnatal Care Specialist, where I take care of newborns and freshly postpartum families. I have future goals of becoming an ultrasound technician. I show up every day with an open mind, empathy, patience, and a smile. I love to connect with everyone in the family. I also know a lot of baby sign because I am learning ASL, which can really help those younger ones greatly with their language skills!

I’ve been babysitting for many years now, and I have a lot of experience with all ages. I get along great with kids and their parents, and my schedule is extremely flexible! I manage my time very well, and I respect the parents time as well so I would never be late. I am also a very clean person and was raised to clean up after myself, so I will make sure your house is in good condition as well!

I have over four years of experience as a nanny and many more years of babysitting. I have early childhood education coursework completed while in college and will continue to do more. I have worked at day camps. Other jobs I have done are on office assistant, a scorekeeper, a cashier, a barista, and a preschool teaching assistant.

Hi! My name is Katrina, and I’m excited to support families by providing dependable, engaging, and compassionate childcare. I currently work as a mid-level supervisor for an ABA company and am also completing my master’s degree in Applied Behavior Analysis. I have over 7 years of experience working with children and teens, including 6 years of specialized experience supporting autistic children and adolescents across home, school, and community settings. My background has helped me build strong skills in patience, communication, behavior support, routines, and creating fun, structured environments where kids can feel safe and successful. I have experience with a wide range of ages and developmental needs, and I always aim to meet each child where they are. I have reliable transportation (Subaru Crosstrek), so I’m able to assist with school pick-ups, activities, errands, or outings if needed. I also have two friendly dogs—a husky and a pug—so I’m very comfortable around dogs. I am unfortunately allergic to cats, so I’m unable to provide care in homes with cats, but I’m happy to babysit at my apartment when appropriate. I’m responsible, warm, and genuinely enjoy helping children learn, play, and grow. I’d love the opportunity to learn more about your family and how I can help make life a little easier!

Hello my name is Charlotte and I have 20+ years of experience as a nanny, former ER nurse, and mom to my two children. I enjoy being active with kids and being outdoors!

I previously served as an Infant/Toddler Lead Teacher at a Fortune 100 company on San Francisco's Embarcadero. Currently, I teach at a play-based preschool in the Piedmont/Oakland area. What I love most about my current role is being part of a program that views families as true partners; we build deep, collaborative connections with parents through daily check-ins and shared community projects to ensure a seamless home-school connection. In our vibrant classrooms and beautiful outdoor spaces, I guide children through an emergent curriculum that lets their natural curiosity and peer interactions shape their learning journey. With six years of professional teaching experience and babysitting since my early teens, I specialize in nurturing the whole child by prioritizing social-emotional development and relationship-building. I thrive on helping young learners safely navigate new environments, build confidence, and make new friends. I love being silly, spreading joy with smiles and laughter, and acting as a true "learning ally" to your child. I am eager to learn more about this opportunity.
