Meet college nannies and sitters from Ithaca College

I am booking occasional nights and daytime care as my schedule is open. I am seeking a part time or fulltime job in San Francisco, Berkeley, Albany, Oak. I am also working evening or daytime occasional care. After finishing a 14 month position a FT job with a 1.5- turning 2.5 child I had a 3 month temp job with a 1.5 year old. I have worked as a full time Nanny and Preschool teacher for 20 years in SF, Berkeley and Oakland. Truly Outdoorsy! I have enthusiastically enjoyed caring for the ages of 2-5 from age 18. Most of the families that I have worked with the past 8 years have left the area but are still fabulous references. I never used an agency. 2.5 Years I worked as nanny in Berkeley to a 1- 4 year old in Berkeley, 4 plus years recently, and numerous families in SF during 2021- 22. I cared for a 2 year old full time and the 5 year old part time. I have over 23 years of nannying experience. I started young! I have a BA in Psychology and took 8 education courses. I studied abroad in India, Nepal and Tibet. In college I worked at a daycare then started a drama club at the same afterschool program for 3 years. I assisted a Waldorf - inspired preschool, taught at a Montessori based English language immersion preschool and kindergarten in Taiwan for 2 years. I worked as a teacher for 3 years with 2-5 year olds at a lovely Reggio play based preschool in Berkeley. I have been known to have a strong constitution, good health and I very much find children funny and wise. I found my calling early on.

I have extensive experience working with both children and seniors. Since I was 16, I’ve supported myself through babysitting, eventually helping fund my college education. I’ve worked with children ages 6 months to 12 years at the Ithaca YMCA and West Side YMCA, where I managed schedules, maintained clean environments, served meals, and ensured safety and engagement. I also interned at a mental health facility in Tompkins County, supporting at-risk youth, children with special needs, school-age kids, and seniors. During college, I volunteered at Ithaca's Long View Senior Care facility, and after graduating, I became my grandmother’s primary caregiver until her passing. These experiences taught me patience, responsibility, and compassion. I am also a proud Cavapoo owner named Melo and have a cat allergy.
