Find an after school nanny in El Cerrito, CA

Hi! My name is Laisa. I’m a 35-year-old career nanny from Brazil with 20+ years of childcare experience, including more than 10 years specializing in infants and toddlers—an age group I truly love and where my passion for childcare lies. My caregiving style is loving, respectful, gentle, and responsive. I believe every child is unique, so I take the time to understand their individual needs, personality, and routines while following and respecting each family’s parenting style, values, and boundaries. I’m also flexible and adaptable, understanding that schedules and needs can change from day to day. I love supporting children’s development through meaningful interaction and age-appropriate activities, including talking, reading, singing, sensory play, and opportunities to build their language, motor skills, confidence, curiosity, and independence. I enjoy getting outside with children whenever possible, as well as creating engaging activities at home. I’m energetic, attentive, reliable, and committed to creating a safe, nurturing, and positive environment where children feel comfortable, supported, and encouraged to explore and learn. Clear and open communication is very important to me. I want parents to feel informed and connected throughout the day, so I’m happy to share photos, videos, and a daily update covering their child’s activities, meals, naps, mood, and milestones. Most importantly, I see childcare as more than simply supervising a child. I strive to become a trusted partner to the family and to build a strong, respectful, and long-term relationship while providing the highest level of care. I take my commitments seriously and do not cancel unless there is an emergency. I also require agreed-upon hours to be guaranteed, with NO BANKING OF HOURS! References: To respect my previous families’ privacy, I provide letters of recommendation upon request. Reference phone numbers are shared only after an in-person meeting or trial day, once we both feel it’s a good fit and would like to move forward. If my experience and style of caregiving align with your family’s values, I’d love to connect! Extras to consider: • $40/hour net minimum — W-2 or cash • Guaranteed weekly hours • PTO & paid sick days • Federal holidays • Monthly health stipend • Overtime at 1.5× after 8 hours/day, per California law Best, Laisa

Hi! My name is Jenn and my life's passion and talent is working with children! First, a bit about my experience with kids: I'm a seasoned parent to 22 and 16 year olds who are turning into caring, conscientious and responsible adults who are excellent students with incredible work ethic. I'm proud of raising these two as a single parent! I currently work as a middle school teacher. Prior to that, I ran my own childcare business in my home for toddlers. It was pure joy to work with my little learners and the whole family to create a happy, warm, safe, nurturing environment for them to grow, learn and play! I hold a CA teaching credential and I have taught elementary and middle school grades full time and have subbed K-12. I have the gift of natural attunement to children and connect with them easily and joyfully. I also have the rare ability to work effectively with babies through high school students. I am highly intuitive about children's feelings and needs and I respond sensitively and appropriately. Children simply bring out the best in me! I have an upbeat personality, a playful sense of humor, and children trust me and connect with me easily and with joy. I love discovering/encouraging what interests children have and designing activities or finding books that match their interests. I particularly love helping children connect with nature, both in spending time outdoors and in projects using natural materials. If there is the opportunity, I like to bring these interests to my babysitting work and I also have a huge collection of children's literature and bring books with me to my sits. Further, I am highly experienced in working with children from all backgrounds, cultures and special needs, including autism. Since I've taught early elementary and middle school, I can help with homework if needed. I use a positive discipline approach with my own children and the children I work with. I'm adept at teaching social and emotional skills and I love helping children learn how to communicate and to understand and express their feelings to others including working out conflict as necessary. About myself, I have an abundance of things I love to do, which include healthy cooking, knitting, making jewelry, photography, book club, reading, writing, my pets, and Bay Area fun with my kids! I look forward to working with your family!

I completed my graduate degree in early childhood special education, and I'm looking for a full time job potentially. I’m often looking to make a little extra income to help pay my student loans, in the evenings or last minute for families. I have over 20 years of experience and am trustline registered, I have pediatric first aid and CPR training. Feel free to contact me. I’m looking forward to meeting you and your family. Warm regards, ReGina

I am a professional nanny with over ten years of experience. My background it’s in Early Childhood Education and Sociology. I am reliable, easygoing, organized, and dedicated to providing a safe, nurturing environment where children can grow and thrive.

I am A'kila [Uhh-kee-luhh]. What I love most about caregiving is having the opportunity to engage with a warm and loving family. My style of caregiving comes from a place of authenticity. Especially in regards to clients that are disabled. After caring for severely Autistic non verbal clients, I am privy to basic ABA therapy strategies and concepts. As well as navigating AAC devices. Since 2017, I have been caring for children of all ages, races and abilities from the ages of 3 months to 13 years young. Within that time, I have met hundreds of families from all walks of life. If you are hiring based on my experience, please look at my reviews for further insight. If you would like to set up an interview, I request we exchange references, so I too gain more insight as to your family dynamic with other sitters, which will give me an idea if we are a good match. What do I expect from you as a parent? Respect and open communication. It is my goal to work with, not for, a family. I give and put my time and effort into caregiving professionally. It is imperative, from the very start of our correspondence that we maintain a level of transparency , honesty and respect in an effort for us all to ultimately find a good match and waste as little of our time as possible in the process. Thank You, A'kila
