Find an after school nanny in Lafayette, CA

Hi there! Thanks for checking out my profile. I’m 33 years old, a UC Berkeley graduate, and I’ve been working with children for almost 6 years now. I’ve cared for kids from as young as 2 weeks old up to 10–12 years old — but most of my experience (and love!) is with newborns and toddlers under 3. I’ve had wonderful experiences as a night nanny and with sleep training, keeping babies on schedule, soothing, feeding, changing, entertaining, and supporting them to reach their developmental milestones. With older kids, I’m very animated and fun, and I love bringing learning into play. In the afternoons, I often combined childcare with tutoring — especially for kids with ADHD or on the spectrum. I enjoy finding creative ways to keep them engaged, help with focus, and make learning less stressful and more fun. Before the pandemic, I also volunteered at Sylvia Mendez Elementary School, where I supported kids who were falling behind or facing challenges at home through group and one-on-one activities, arts, and educational games. I’ve worked with twins, multiples, and premature babies, and I believe children start learning from the moment they’re born. The best discipline, in my view, is the one that matches the parents’ style — and I tend to be a great fit for families who are detail-oriented and want someone attentive and reliable. A little about me: I’m a non-smoker, fully vaccinated, and pet friendly. I’d love to chat and see if I’d be the right fit for your family — whether you’re looking for newborn nights, toddler milestones, or after-school tutoring with some extra sparkle.

Hi, and welcome to my profile. I'm originally from Iceland and have lived in Walnut Creek for 19 years. I raised my three girls here and welcomed a grandson 5 years ago. I would love to help families part-time in the area with their daily chores, including helping with children, light household, and pet sitting, part-time or occasionally. I have extensive experience with children and being a nanny, as well as caring for the elderly, and raising my own kids. Friends and family describe me as patient, kind, engaging, a good listener, and calm. I'm creative. I love art, reading, music, cooking, nature, and sports. I'm a non-smoker, absolutely no drinking or drugs - ever. I have my car and I'm flexible and don't need too much notice if needed. I look forward to connecting. Thank you!
