Hello, My name is Chanakarn, I also go by Chana. I’ve been babysitting since before the age of 18, after the age of 18 I’ve been nannying since then, which have now been 7 years of my nannying career. I’ve worked with many families for occasionally nannying, temporary nanny, one-time, part-time, as will have full-time nanny, including both short term and long term care. Some families have pets, dogs, cat, or both, I get along with them as well, and sometimes will do dog sitting, as well as cat sitting. I’ve cared for children at the age of 1 months to the age of 13 year, which is definitely a wide range of different age group. This brings different energy, tactics, methods, and skills out to teach, grow, and learn alongside with them. I can confidently say that all of the children I’ve taken care of have their own unique personality and different ways of expressing their feelings. I’ve never deny their thoughts and expressions, but will calmly show and explain what action is not nice to do if any case, how it can hurt others or harm themselves. Throughout the years of my experience I’ve learned so much and do understand ways to adapt and work with different individual personality traits. I love to see each individual grow and will continue to do what I love.

Hi! My name is Elinor, and I’d love to connect with your family! I moved to Oakland two years ago and currently teach 7th grade. As the eldest of four kids, taking care of children has always been second nature to me—I started babysitting when I was 14 and haven't stopped since! While I love teaching during the school day, babysitting outside of school hours allows me to keep working with kids of all ages while helping me make ends meet. I'm open to all types of jobs and bring a ton of flexibility! During the school year, I'm mostly available for afterschool care and weekends, as well as during school breaks and holidays. I am also available for house sitting and pet sitting, both of which I have done many times over the years. I am fully open to traveling with families and doing overnight stay care as well. Beyond child care, I have a lot of experience with—and genuinely love—organizing. I'm always happy to jump in and help out with household chores, whether that's laundry, meal prep, or keeping things tidy and running smoothly. I hold a degree in History and Secondary Education from Grinnell College, along with CPR and First Aid certifications. Beyond standard babysitting, I teach 7th grade English and 8th grade math, so I am always happy to provide tutoring or homework help if your child needs extra support! Over the years, I've worked as a nanny, camp counselor, and swim instructor, so I’m comfortable with everything from driving to after-school activities and meal prep to organizing fun outdoor games and keeping kids engaged. I’d love to chat and see if I’d be a good fit for your family! Warmly, Elinor Hanley
