About Carmen

Experience: 10 yrs

Hi! my name is Carmen, and I am 29 years old. I began my childcare working with kids in special needs education at Castro Valley High School my sophomore year until I graduated in 2014. During that time I was also a part time nanny for various families in the evenings. After high-school I immediately began working as a kindergarten assistant and an activities teacher at after-school care in Piedmont when I eventually became the director of the program for 4 years. As well as working at the school I had multiple morning families I would care for as well as evening families I would nanny after my duties at the school. After gaining tons of memories and love for my students I began taking on nanny care full time and it's been 10 YEARS NOW! I've worked with 20+ families long term & short term. Crazy that it's been 10 years now & I wouldn't have chosen any other route. I also have a wheel of experience with kids/adults on the spectrum. Thanks for reading! :)

Carmen is a true gem! She is an absolute natural with kids. She has done morning care three times a week with our baby and toddler and we couldn’t have more positive things to say about her childcare. She’s a true toddler whisperer—my shy, generally selective about people toddler is THRILLED when she arrives and he leaves me to go play with Carmen immediately (which is unheard of with my usually clingy kiddo). Carmen makes inventive games and is so good at entering his world and interests to really engage him. She is also amazing with infants—she talks to my baby, does mirroring of sounds/faces and labeling objects and all the things that help build baby’s communication skills. She seems to be incredibly experienced at understanding baby’s needs and temperament and it really shows in how comfortable my baby is with her. I am generally pretty picky about how my kids are interacted with, and I have had only gratitude and praise for the kind, engaging, skillful ways Carmen interacts with our kids. She is also just a pleasure to be around and friendly, non-judgmental, funny—a delightful person to spend time with. I really can’t say enough good things!
