Find an after school nanny in Emeryville, CA

CURRENTLY OUT OF TOWN Hello! My name is Katya and I have been taking care of kids for over 10 years. I am comfortable caring for babies and children 6 months and older. I have completed 3 Early Childhood Education courses at Merritt College: 1.) Childhood Development 2.) The Child, the Family and the Community 3.) Infant and Toddler Care With children I enjoy neighborhood park excursions, reading, drawing 🎨ballet dancing 🩰and playing in gardens with sticks bugs and leaves 🌿🐞🪵🍃. I am dedicated to empowering children to identify and express their emotions and to be curious about the world around them. I would describe myself as calm, introverted and low-key. However, I am very comfortable setting boundaries with children when needed and using firm but positive reminders about house rules and playing/sharing gently with siblings ☺️ I have a Masters degree from San Francisco State University in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages. I am a Bay Area native and prefer getting bookings in San Francisco, Oakland, Berkeley or Albany :) While I do live in Oakland, I am a pro at getting quickly by public transit to SF 🚂🚍👍 and always give myself plenty of time.

Hello, I am a well seasoned nanny, with decades of childcare experience. I love children and delight in bringing ease and joy to family life. As a practicing Buddhist, the cultivation of kindness, compassion, composure, and the joy that arises in concert with these qualities, are integral to my well being and the care that I provide. As a young mother of two, I set aside a career path as a mechanical engineering professor in the field of mathematical fluid dynamics, and went on to homeschool my own four children, through Hearthstone Charter School, the Butte County home education program for which I was a founding board member, teaching countless other students and babysitting their younger siblings along the way. I have a researched understanding of child development and a variety of early childhood educational and parenting modalities. I truly enjoy being loving support to parents’ own philosophies. Well versed in RIE and Attachment Theory, specifically the emotional co-regulation that is foundational to Secure Attachment, I am inclined toward those aspects of Montessori and Waldorf education that foster authentic exploration and self mastery, and find respectful, holistic approaches to the care and education of children to be a natural extension of my Buddhist practice. I am particularly experienced with infants and toddlers, as well as gifted children of all ages, including those on the autism spectrum. I have found that a whole-child approach is essential to the care of children presenting with early signs of an IQ in the exceptionally (160-180) or profoundly (180+) gifted range. (I am happy to have a conversation on the topic of gifted children.) Here’s what the mom wrote on Berkeley Parent’s Network: "She has been taking care of our children for the last 4 years. She is truly incredible in a Mary Poppins-esque sort of way; very fit, from the Bay Area, raised 4 children herself, homeschooled them, phd in engineering, and chose childcare as a career later in life because she loves children. She has a warm personality and is amazing with the kids; creative, kind, receptive, respectful. She is also very smart and resourceful and can manage everything by herself, so if you want excellent childcare for your kids and not worry about anything, she is your gal." If you feel we may be compatible, let’s talk about your family’s needs and how I can help. All Good wishes, Mariah

Hi there! My name is Kennedy, and I am a professional nanny and Cal alum. I bring 9 1/2 years of childcare experience, including 5 years as a childcare attendant at the Bay Club gym, where I cared for children of all ages from newborns to teens. During my time there, I created and led engaging, age-appropriate activities for toddlers and school-aged children, supported infants, and also provided babysitting services for member families outside of the gym. For the past 4 1/2 years, I've worked as a nanny for numerous families, with a primary focus on infant and toddler care, while also caring for older children (part-time and occasionally). I'm fully vaccinated, CPR certified, have a driver's license, a reliable car, and experience safely driving children. I also have strong references and a deep passion for nurturing and supporting children's growth through every developmental stage! I truly love what I do and feel honored to be a part of each child's journey. :-) Thank you for taking the time to read about me and for your consideration!

I grew up in a large family as the second oldest of five siblings, where I took on a caregiving role from a young age. With workaholic parents, I helped raise my younger siblings, which taught me patience, responsibility, and how to understand children’s needs. In high school and after graduating, I also worked part-time babysitting my neighbors’ children, further strengthening my ability to connect with kids and provide a safe, nurturing environment. Since moving to the U.S., I have continued working as a part-time babysitter and have developed strong childcare experience.

Hi! I’m Althea, I have several years of experience caring for toddlers and school-age kids. I speak English, Italian and Spanish. I’m confident with daily routines, meals, playtime, naps, school prep, homework and bedtime and I love planning creative activities that keep kids engaged, active and happy. Families describe me as warm, reliable and easy to communicate with. I’m also comfortable with light housekeeping, cooking, laundry, errands and pets care. My goal is always to support a smooth, safe and enjoyable day for both kids and parents.
