Hi there :) thank you for clicking on my profile! I’ve been working with kids for over 9 years now and I think I can say I've truly found my passion! I have a teaching background and I love to make my work meaningful and mindful, always making sure I’m present for my kids helping them grow and develop as beings. My teaching style leans more towards Waldorf and Montessori and I prefer to work for no screens families (even better if you don’t have TV at home). I’m from Brazil and I speak Portuguese and English fluently. I’m very responsible and proactive, I tend to fix things as I go instead of being asked to do it. I have a CPR certificate and First Aid Training. I play the ukulele and I’m also a certified Music Together teacher, I legit sing ALL THE TIME. If you’re into music we’ll definitely get along! I make sure to always have my ukulele with me for awesome dance parties and music time. I graduated as a Health Coach back in 2020 and I’m now studying Plant Based cuisine. I absolutely love cooking and will have the best time cooking healthy meals for your family and maybe even getting the kids involved in the mess! I also love baking so I might bring a cake to share every now and then! I’m a morning person and love to look at the bright side of things! So I think a big sum up of me would be a mix of music, health, good food and lots of happiness! I like to work for families that value the work I do and care about growing as individuals and learning together. Having a safe environment for open communication is very important to me! Thank you so much for reading my profile :) if you feel like we could be a good match please don’t hesitate to contact me! You can find more info on my cooking schedule on manuelalilliston.com/
“Manuela brought such wonderful energy to our home and was immediately a natural with our kids. My 10 month old warmed up to her right away. She even prepped some food and left the house tidy. Would absolutely work with her again!”
Hi! My name is Felix and I am a Berkeley Law student and longtime nanny / house helper. I have over 10 years of work and life experience with caregiving. Showing care and attention to others (humans and animals!) is the most fulfilling way to spend my time. My experiences include nannying newborns and babysitting children ages 1-12, attending to senior relatives, tutoring k-6 and teaching elementary school garden class, driving for school and appointments, and cleaning homes. I’ve also had pet cats all my life and love to care for others’ furry friends when needed. I am extremely detail-oriented in the home. I love to engage and connect to all kinds of people and provide reliable care for families, and I am happy to provide references upon request! I offer cooking, cleaning, errands requiring driving, enriching play activities for babies and homework help for older children. I am CPR certified and vaccinated. I am reliable, genuine, and always excited to meet families and neighbors who could use an extra pair of hands.
Hi families! My name is Lais, and I am a dedicated professional nanny with a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology. I have extensive experience caring for children from newborns all the way to teenagers, and I am comfortable and confident with kids of all ages. I also have specialized experience supporting neurodivergent children, and I adapt my care to a variety of approaches—whether that’s gentle parenting, Montessori, RIE, or other philosophies. Despite earning my degree, I decided to continue my career as a nanny because I am deeply passionate about building strong, trusting relationships with families. I plan to grow in this field as a lifelong professional and bring my psychology background into my work every day. At the moment I work with an amazing family as a ROTA nanny. Considering that I am only available for occasional jobs in specific days. Happy to provide references and my resume upon request, and I’m always available to respond to any texts from families who want to know more about my experience. I am also CPR and First Aid certified. I look forward to connecting and learning about your family’s unique needs!
“Lais is an experienced caregiver who had many strategies to handle our rambunctious children!”
Hello families! NANNY WITH A BABY BOY. My baby was born 05/14/2026 and I'm considering a nanny share option adding another baby. I'm a compassionate and highly skilled nanny with a background as CERTIFIED PEDIATRIC NURSE from Italy, 11 yrs experience in childcare. My background as a pediatric nurse + studying child development at SFCC, gives me the unique insights into healthcare, nurturing, and understanding the diverse needs of little ones at all ages. 5 things about me, if you'd like to know more...keep reeding :) ONE: I love being a caregiver. Over the years, I've cared for children of all ages, supporting their unique personalities and needs. I love being around kids and I strongly believe they are all unique and special, authentic and pure. They are the best teachers. I love supporting their development making them free to be and experience the world in a safe space, where feelings are supported and kindness is the base of the relationship. TWO: I am offering household services! My caregiving isn't limited to the little ones, I love supporting families with household tasks. I know how valuable is an extra pair of hands and I am happy to be that trustworthy person you can rely on. THREE: About my personality at work and outside of work. - I approach every child with genuine care and empathy, creating a safe and nurturing space for them to thrive. This is who I am even with adults, I am kind and respectful. - I am very creative and I love playtime, art and craft, outdoor activities and nature. Working with kids allow me to be more playful and I love this aspect of the job! - I am reliable! Parents can trust that their children are in expert hands. I take pride in being a skillful caregiver, creating a sense of security for both kids and parents. FOUR: A bit about me outside of childcare: I practice yoga and meditation, I am going to attend a yoga teacher training at the end of the year (very excited about this!!! - This is not going to affect being able to provide childcare), I love propagating plants, painting, reading good books and spending time in nature. FIVE: Something cool about me: I'm Italian, born and raised, I can cook some Italian delicious food for you and help you plan out your next visit with great insights ;)
“Sara was wonderful with my newborn, keeping him relaxed and calm throughout the day. She also prepared healthy meals for my older child, which was such a help. I really appreciated her thoughtful updates that kept me at ease. I would highly recommend her to any family.”
Hi, I'm Sarah! I am offering child care and household services. I have 7 years of experience providing private childcare. I've worked with infants, toddlers, and children up to 11 years old. (One of them told me I get along well with kids because I'm a child at heart, LOL) I have a nursing education background, and currently working at UCSF, Cancer Research Department. I am also more than happy to watch dogs, cats, or any animal you might have. The more the merrier! :)
“Sarah was a breath of fresh of fresh air! Sarah came to look after my 3 year old daughter all day when she had an ear infection and was home from school. I could immediately tell she was such a warm person, and she engaged with my daughter right away. She played with her, fed her lunch, put her down for nap and played more. When my daughter was napping, Sarah organized all of the toys in the playroom into drawers, assembled a new easel for my kids, and helped my daughter do a painting project when she woke up. Sarah is such a sweet person, was prompt, communicative, and a joy to have here. We would love to hire her again! ”
