Hi My name is Tania and I'm currently a student at University of San Francisco | Psychology major| Pre-Dental. I am offering childcare and household services. I love being a caregiver and have been caring for children since I was 15 years old. I worked as a nanny for two elementary school girls in Alameda, then spent nearly two years nannying for a family on College Ave in Oakland, CA. I've cared for children of all ages; from supporting a neighbor with their one-year-old to helping with school-age kids. Services I provide: -School pickups and drop-offs -Playtime activities -Trips to the park/ outdoor -Homework help -Light cooking I'm CPR certified and Stop the Bleed certified - I can send certification upon request
With close to ten years of experience in youth education and childcare, I have worked with children ages three and up across a wide range of settings. My academic background spans psychology and theater arts, including a semester of dedicated research in early childhood developmental psychology. Beyond nannying, my deepest passion is theater — I have performed in dozens of professional stage productions throughout the Bay Area, including children's theater in San Francisco. I bring that creative energy directly to my work with kids: I teach drama and vocal lessons to students ages five and up, and co-founded a drama camp and daycare program in Point Richmond back in 2020. I began nannying at 20 and have genuinely loved every stage of this work. In addition to childcare, I'm happy to assist with basic household tasks, offer pet care (I'm a former dog walker and current cat owner), and provide transportation — I have a valid CA driver's license and my own vehicle. If your child has an interest in performing arts, I'd also love to incorporate some singing or drama games into our time together.
As a certified teacher with a decade of childcare experience, I'm passionate about nurturing children's growth. My calm and creative personality helps me engage children in educational and fun activities. I keep parents updated on their child's day through written reports and use their preferred communication method. I'm comfortable following the household rules set by the parents and have experience caring for children of all ages, from infants to pre-teens. I'm also fluent in English and Portuguese. Adding to all, I am certified for First Aid and Child Nutrition and Cooking. By now, my priority is to keep the kids safe while nurturing a playful environment where they can develop their set of skills and personality. I`m fully vaccinated. I believe in supporting families and providing reliable care. It brings me joy to see the positive impact I have on children's lives. I would be thrilled to be a part of your family and look forward to getting to know you and your children.

Hi! I'm a student at Columbia University with over five years of babysitting experience and currently work as a Senior Counselor at UC Berkeley's Explorer Camp, where I've spent the past two summers working with children ages 5–6. I'm CPR certified, have a reliable car and can provide transportation if needed, and I'm happy to help with housekeeping, meal prep, laundry, and other household tasks. I also grew up with multiple dogs, so I'm very comfortable caring for pets and am happy to help with them too! I'm fluent in English and comfortable speaking Spanish. I'd love the opportunity to get to know your family and provide dependable care!
