Find an after school nanny in Canyon, CA

Hello parents! I'm a nurturing individual with a passion for children's growth and development. My journey in childcare stems from a desire to impact young lives positively. With 4 years of Nanny experience and being a former Montessori Teachers Aid, l've honed my skills in providing a safe and stimulating environment for children. I've cared for children ages ranging from 3 months to 11 years old. I worked as an after school teacher and taught coding, clay art, and lego engineering to elementary aged children. Ranging from grades 1st to 4th. I am also an older sister and an aunt. My siblings being now 13 years old and 7 years old. I have helped raise my siblings and have learned from an early age how to take care of children! I believe in fostering a warm and friendly atmosphere where children feel comfortable expressing themselves. My patient and creative approach allows me to engage children in various activities, including outdoor games, board games, and educational games that enhance their learning. I understand the importance of open communication with parents and regularly provide written daily reports and updates on their child's well-being. I firmly believe in following the parents' lead when it comes to enforcing household rules. My background includes college coursework in Early Childhood Education and Development, which has further enhanced my understanding of children's needs.

Hello! My name is Rakita I have over 25 years of babysitting and nannying experience with ages newborn to 12 yrs. I love to have fun, play games, read and provide excellent care to my families. I love to find out what my children’s interests are and allow them to lead in their play. For the little kiddos - playdoe, music, coloring and/or making toy/lego art. A favorite of mine is making oooblek which is a wonderful goo that toddlers to 3rd graders love to make. I also love to incorporate fun meal prep activities based on a child’s food preference and allergies. So if your child would like, we can make ants on a log (celery, your preferred butter if not peanut and raisins) or we make our own S’morse minus the camp fire☺️ or they help me make cookies and we decorate them, we can also decorate graham crackers if you prefer we don’t use the oven. Looking forward to meeting you! Thank you, Rakita

Hi Everyone! My name is Jamiah and I have been an educator for over fourteen years with many of those years in special-education/inclusion. My care-work began as a baby sitter helping loved ones through postpartum, earned my first job as a preschool assistant, and it has now manifested into a doula practice. I thoroughly enjoy working with all families and children with many different learning styles. I am patient, warm, supportive and use my creativity to bring new experiences to your children’s lives. I have worked with babies through adults in various schools as an instructional aid, preschool educator, dance teacher, on the cultural administrator team, in day programs for neurodivergent adults, and memory care with elders as a private care giver. As a doula I have experience working with families & infants who are navigating birth and postpartum. Moreover, I am CPR, AED & first aid certified, comfortable administering medicine, navigating sensitive diets/allergies, have 10 Early Childhood Development Units, provide sibling support during birth (rates will vary), have work with families with multiples (twins), and love supporting families with pets. My care is centered around social emotional learning, restorative justice, self-autonomy, and trauma-informed. Moreover, I have a degree in Ethnic (study of other ethnicities/humanities) & Dance Studies and have worked as an art teacher for many years at MoAD. I am comfortable facilitating activities, developing curriculum, and some homework assistance. I am very excited about the prospect of supporting your family!

Hi! My name is Elinor, and I’d love to connect with your family! I moved to Oakland two years ago and currently teach 7th grade. As the eldest of four kids, taking care of children has always been second nature to me—I started babysitting when I was 14 and haven't stopped since! While I love teaching during the school day, babysitting outside of school hours allows me to keep working with kids of all ages while helping me make ends meet. I'm open to all types of jobs and bring a ton of flexibility! During the school year, I'm mostly available for afterschool care and weekends, as well as during school breaks and holidays. I am also available for house sitting and pet sitting, both of which I have done many times over the years. I am fully open to traveling with families and doing overnight stay care as well. Beyond child care, I have a lot of experience with—and genuinely love—organizing. I'm always happy to jump in and help out with household chores, whether that's laundry, meal prep, or keeping things tidy and running smoothly. I hold a degree in History and Secondary Education from Grinnell College, along with CPR and First Aid certifications. Beyond standard babysitting, I teach 7th grade English and 8th grade math, so I am always happy to provide tutoring or homework help if your child needs extra support! Over the years, I've worked as a nanny, camp counselor, and swim instructor, so I’m comfortable with everything from driving to after-school activities and meal prep to organizing fun outdoor games and keeping kids engaged. I’d love to chat and see if I’d be a good fit for your family! Warmly, Elinor Hanley
