Joanna H., Nanny in Oakland, CA 94611 with 6 years of paid experience

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! :)

Keisha was wonderful to work with. She was so kind to let me schedule her with notice just one day in advance. She was very good at managing two toddlers. She was patient and acclimated very quickly. I would highly recommend her and work with her again.

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!

Elena marie H., Nanny in Oakland, CA 94611 with 5 years of paid experience

I am the ultimate babysitter because I am a mother myself! If anyone knows what kids love, It's me. I know how to cook, play pretend, play tag, hide and seek, visit the local swimming pool, swim, teach swimming, read favorite books, take lots of pictures, bird watch, go on day trips, visit museums, the zoo and the list goes on. Being a kid at heart really helps to connect with children. I rarely meet a child who doesn't like me!

We hired Elena to be a full-time nanny to our three month old son. From the start she was extremely professional, on-time, and brought major confidence with all of her past experience. We love her high energy and strong work ethic. She has given so much love and support to the family already. 10/10 recommend hiring Elena

Sathiya P., Nanny in Oakland, CA 94611 with 10 years of paid experience

Hello! I’m Sathiya, a cheerful, dedicated, and detail-oriented nanny, babysitter, pet sitter, and family assistant originally from Bangkok, Thailand, now happily based in San Francisco since 2019. With over 10 years of hands-on experience raising my own children and more than 4–5 years in professional caregiving, I specialize in nurturing, patient, and attentive care for children of all ages including newborns. I take pride in creating a warm, safe, and engaging environment where little ones can thrive. My clients consistently describe me as trustworthy, reliable, and thoughtful, and many are happy to recommend my services. I’m currently open to occasional evening (after 6 PM) and weekend roles. Along with childcare, I’m also available to assist with pet sitting, house sitting, and household management from keeping things tidy and organized to managing vendors or overseeing home maintenance. I genuinely enjoy helping families run their homes smoothly and efficiently. I bring professionalism, kindness, and care to everything I do, and I believe in creating calm, supportive systems that make family life a little easier. I’d be happy to provide my resume, references, background check, and vaccination records upon request. Looking forward to connecting and supporting your family with warmth and excellence! Warmly, Sathiya

Liliana has been such a huge help to me over the past year and a half! My son, who has special needs, loves her and will ask about her next days. She always helps around the house when he is sleeping, doing the dishes and folding laundry. She picks him up from school, takes him to parks, and helps with homework when I work a late shift. It has been a lifesaver having her help!

Jessica has been an absolute blessing for our family. We were initially hesitant to trust anyone with our 21-month-old daughter, but Jessica's warm and nurturing nature immediately put us at ease. Her responsible and attentive approach to childcare is remarkable. She engages our daughter in creative activities, ensuring her safety and well-being at all times. Jessica's patience and genuine love for children are evident in the way she interacts with our little one. We now have complete peace of mind knowing that our daughter is in Jessica's capable hands. We wholeheartedly recommend her to any family seeking a trustworthy and loving caregiver for their child.
