Hello there! I'm Haley, an experienced childcare worker with four years of experience. I'm currently seeking a full-time nanny role or a part-time position. My experience includes teaching infant and toddler classrooms at a daycare, occasional work with older kids, and tutoring at the high school and college level. I studied Data Science at UC Berkeley, and worked as a lab assistant in computer science and data science courses. I can also assist with meal prep and cooking. As a nanny, creating a safe and nurturing environment is my priority. I enjoy my work because I can watch kids grow and develop into amazing human beings, and being a part of that process is so invaluable. Outside of childcare, I like being outdoors or cooking for friends and family. If you're looking for someone to join your family, my inbox is open to messages. I would love to chat with you!

“Haley is fantastic. She did great with my gifted and neurodivergent child.”

Booked by 21 families in El Cerrito, 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.

“Chelsea is a phenomenal nanny - she has cared for our 6 month old girl wonderfully. She is calm and detail-oriented. She fills each day with age-appropriate, stimulating activities and has helped advance eating solids, tummy time, sitting up and improving nap routines for our daughter. She maintains a safe environment at all times and is communicative / responsive to my husband and self during care while we are at work. She really is a team player - always on time, always positive, takes direction well, and shows genuine interest in helping us with our daughter's needs and general household maintenance. She also is proficient in Huckleberry app tracking, which has been a huge blessing in communicating our daughter's daytime schedule. She really goes above and beyond in her role. Lastly - Our daughter LOVES her. Baby always smiles when she comes over and shows signs of comfort when in her arms.”

Hi parents, My name is Vlada, and I’m pursuing a degree in Child Development and Psychology. I’m originally from Russia and I’ve been living here for 10 years with my family. I started to work with kids when I was 14 years old. I started by taking care of my youngest siblings and then volunteering. During my college years thus far I have taken many opportunities to gain more experience with children. I have been working at Monitissori daycare for 4 + years and I also have experience working with special needs. As of right now I have my child development permit, first aide certificate and now working towards my teaching permit. My philosophy is that all children of all abilities should be able to grow up where their social, emotional, and educational needs are met. I love being able to work with kids and watch them grow. If you need any references please let me know, I’ll be happy to provide them :)

“Great sitter. Arrived on time, brought things for the kids, cleaned up. The kids had a lot of fun.”

"When we hired Amani, we felt like we hit the jackpot. We were very lucky to find her on UrbanSitter at the beginning of school year. She was picking up kids from school, taking them to afternoon activities, helping them with assignments. She prepped food for them, helped organize their closets and keep their spaces neat and orderly. We would hire her again in a heartbeat."
