Hello! I grew up in Berkeley, California but am currently living in Los Angeles attending USC for Master's of Social Work. I have worked with kids since high school, throughout college, and post graduation. I have had a variety of experience including weekly babysitting jobs, on-call babysitting jobs, nannying, and a mothers helper role. I have worked in homes as well as aided with driving children to and from school and other out of the home activities. I have worked with kids of all ages including a 6-month-old all the way up to 15-year-olds. Beyond babysitting, I have worked with kids in multiple after-school programs in elementary and high schools, as well as tutoring programs. Additionally, I worked at a sleep-away summer camp for many years caring for large groups of children 24/7 ages 8-15. I have experience working with children from all backgrounds, and am open to any family! I love getting to know new people and spending time with children!

I am an experienced, educated and fun loving Nanny that is looking to build a partnership in helping raise happy, healthy and well rounded children. I started as a mothers helper as a preteen, babysat through high school and became a nanny while in college. I enjoy watching children grow and develop while fostering long term relationships with the families I work with. I built an extensive network of wonderful families while in college and beyond and would love to do the same thing now that I'm back in Northern California. I'm responsible, caring, hard working, fun-loving and look forward to meeting you!

Children are my passion. They are the most bright, free-spirited human beings and I'm amazed by them constantly. Learning from kids and being a guide in their discovery of the world is truly the most rewarding work. I've been caring for children for 14 years, starting as a mother's helper and evolving to a nanny and doula. My experience ranges from date nights to full time care for all ages. I specialize with newborns, infants, and toddlers. I have infant and child CPR training. I was born and raised in Berkeley. My two most recent jobs were a daycare/preschool assistant and a nanny share with two kids from age 4 months until 18 months. I am a very open-minded person and will cater to your parenting style. I love the outdoors, animals, and art. I am a macrame jewelry artist. I'd love to hear from you if you're interested!

Growing up in the Bay Area, I was lucky to call a regional park my backyard and would spend hours playing outside and exploring with my babysitter, Tessa. Tessa taught me how to make origami, took me out to ice cream, and made delicious pasta! As I entered my preteen years, I followed in Tessa's footsteps and was a mother's helper for a couple families on our block, all with multiple children. As I got older, I started babysitting regularly and now have over 7 years of child care. I have worked mostly with children 2-12. I also worked as a summer camp counselor where I was directly in charge of a group of 5-15 children of varying ages. Tessa was an inspirational and caring babysitter to me, and like her, I aim to provide exceptional care with safety as my priority.

Hello! I have been working with kids as long as I can remember being the eldest of 6 kids I was a natural born mothers helper. Besides my family's childcare I have been babysitting my neighbors and my teachers children since I was 13. I have also helped run a youth social justice club for 4 years at my Middle school. Currently I am a Jr at California College of the Arts studying painting and drawing and have a side business of face painting for private party's. I am very crafty and can help facilitate projects if your child would like to strengthen there creative side. I am also a very gentle and understanding person with a lot of patience and would love to share that with your children! :)

I am from Seattle, Wa, and in the summers I have worked for a number of families babysitting, helping with the children s homework, driving to and from extracurricular activities, and managing daily schedules. I am the middle child in a family with three kids. This has given me the unique perspective of learning to babysit from my older sister and getting to practice with my younger brother. This past year I volunteered at the Oakland Boys and Girls Club every Wednesday for two hours working with kids on their homework and facilitating activities. I have been working with and around kids as a mothers helper since I was 12, then babysitter all through high school, then nanny later in high school and college.

I have over 15 years of childcare experience. I have worked with ages 4 weeks to 12 years in a variety of different positions: from babysitter, to assistant day care manager, co-teacher in an infant room at a preschool, live in nanny, mother's helper, and live out nanny. I am very caring, gentle, patient and loving, and enjoy being on the ground and doing fun activities with the kids. I'm looking for a long term position while I go back to school to study communication and child development When it comes to childcare my approach is to show love, affection, presence, and interaction while holding boundaries so children feel safe to explore and grow. Supporting children to learn, grow, and thrive through connection, attention, being in nature, reading, singing, and being playful and creative is very enjoyable for me. Making fun games out of everyday activities is one of the ways I like to encourage and boost brain development. Very little screen/TV time is my preference, and I find it most effective to use simple toys, like blocks, puzzles, shapes, etc, to develop motor skills, coordination, social skills, and a love of learning. I also have experience in Whole Brain Child development (using stressful situation and interactions to integrate both hemispheres of the brain and foster growth and emotional well being) and Non-Violent Communication/Parenting. I have always had a special connection with children and love bringing out the best in them, as that is what they do for me. Great references are available upon request!

Hi, my name is Eliana! I began caring for children when I was 12 years old. I started off as a mother's helper and eventually began babysitting. I grew up with five sisters and even though only one of them is younger than me I found myself doing little things to care for all of them. This is when I first realized that I would enjoy working with children. I have babysat for the past 8 years and I have worked with children with special needs for over six years. I have a tremendous amount of patience, am extremely organized, and very timely. I ultimately want to go into medicine and specifically into the field of pediatrics because I believe I have a natural ability to connect with children. I have worked as a lifeguard and I have done a lot of tutoring. I have experience with children of all ages and enjoy working with every age. I am comfortable around infants and also comfortable helping out with basic household chores.
