Kyo R., Nanny in Oakland, CA 94611 with 35 years of paid experience

Hi, I am a experienced, reliable private nanny currently seeking a part-time position within 15 miles of Walnut Creek/Pleasant Hill/Lafayette area. As a mom of three and a proud grandma, caring for children truly comes naturally to me. I have over 35 years of experience caring for children of all ages, including 12 years supporting children with special needs. I'm warm, patient and engaging, and I love being a part of a child's daily life whether that's reading, spending time outdoors, or supporting routines that help them feel secure and confident. I have excellent references, a drivers licence and I can assist in light household tasks, meal prep, errands, children's laundry and helping keep daily routines running smoothly for busy families. My rate is $32-$40 an hour depending on the job and responsibilities. I prefer a private pay arrangement and I'm open to discussing guaranteed hours for the right family.

I was an Infant/Toddler Lead Teacher at a Fortune 100 company in San Francisco on the Embarcadero. I have been teaching for six years and have worked as a babysitter since my early teenage years. I am moving toward working with families on a long-term basis. I enjoy working with children and supporting the development of their learning skills through nurturing care and positive experiences in new environments with new friends. I love being silly and bringing joy through smiles and laughter. I am interested in learning more about this opportunity.

Xhensila M., Nanny in Oakland, CA 94611 with 10 years of paid experience

My name is Jenny, I'm from Europe and I graduated from law school. This is my third year caring for children aged 0-10. I have more experience back in my country as I have constantly had to take care of children. I am very patient and sensitive to the needs of a child, I am organized and I always try to offer my best. Flexible with schedule and highly collaborative. I love being in an environment with children. I enjoy spending time with them but at the same time I am very responsible for their safety, well-being and entertainment. In my previous experiences I have also assisted with household chores or food preparation for the whole family.

Michelle B., Nanny in Oakland, CA 94611 with 1 year of paid experience

I love baby sitting because the act of taking care of children thoroughly opens up your heart chakra! As a teen, I did lots of babysitting; I have taken care of 5 children, and 1 disabled adult. I can also cook, clean, and do laundry, as well as sing, dance, and play several musical instruments. I speak American English, British English (I have an English accent), French (B2), Spanish (B1), and a little bit of Hindi, and Arabic... I am transgender (socially, physically, and legally transitioned). I love being around children, for what better way is there to connect with that vibe that is the whole reason why I transitioned in the first place! Salam Alaikum, Hail to the Goddess, Jay Devi, Blessed Be!

Dania K., Nanny in Oakland, CA 94611 with 25 years of paid experience

Hello! I'm a dedicated childcare provider with over 25 years of paid experience, specializing in infant care and children from first grade and up. As a mother to a wonderful 20-year-old daughter, I understand firsthand the trust parents place in caregivers, and now that my own child is grown, I'm excited to share my passion for nurturing young minds. My previous family trusted me for 16 wonderful years until their children outgrew needing care, which speaks to my reliability and the meaningful relationships I build with families. I'm comfortable with all aspects of infant care including feeding, diaper changes, and sleep routines, and I love engaging elementary-age children with homework help and age-appropriate activities that encourage learning and creativity. I believe in creating a safe, nurturing environment where children feel secure and happy while maintaining open communication with parents about their child's day. My extensive experience means I can handle any situation with confidence and calm, and I'm committed to respecting each family's unique parenting style and household rules. I offer flexible scheduling to accommodate your family's needs and would love the opportunity to meet you and discuss how I can support your childcare needs. References available upon request.
