Find an after school nanny in Emeryville, CA

Hi! My name is Ally, and I recently got engaged and am entering an exciting new chapter of life. As I plan my wedding, I’m also focusing on building a career centered around what I truly love most — working with children and animals. I’m based in the Marina in San Francisco and offer reliable, compassionate childcare, babysitting, dog walking, and pet sitting services. With a professional background in client relations and communication, I understand the importance of trust, dependability, and creating meaningful connections with families and pets alike. My goal is to pursue work that feels rewarding and genuine while supporting local families in my community. Whether it’s caring for your children, walking your dog, or helping make daily life a little easier, I would love the opportunity to help!

I have an abundance of love to offer a baby. I have 25 years of experience caring for infants ranging from three months to 10 years old. I strictly follow the parents' guidelines, which includes preparing healthy meals, organizing activities to foster the child's proper development—such as outings to parks and libraries—reading to them, and singing to them. I also handle the baby's laundry and light housekeeping.

In addition to my experience with my younger sister, I have experience with the elderly. In high school I volunteered with them. I read and did a variety of activities. I’m also an experienced dog owner. I grew up with dogs and also have had them in my adult life. I believe my years of experience coupled with my degree in communication makes me uniquely qualified.

These lived experiences have strengthened my understanding of children’s developmental stages, daily care routines, and the importance of consistency, patience, and nurturing support in a home environment.

This work has strengthened my skills in newborn care, infant soothing techniques, maternal support, and family-centered communication.
