Booked by 3 families in Richmond, CA

I graduated with a degree in design, which has fueled my creativity and nurtured my ability to engage children in imaginative and enriching activities. With over five years of babysitting experience and a close-knit family dynamic, including caring for my three energetic nephews, I've honed my skills in fostering a safe, fun, and loving environment for kids. On a personal note, I'm an avid reader and nature enthusiast, and I love sharing my passions with curious young minds.

“Liliana has taken care of our son multiple afternoons over the past couple of weeks and has been great to work with in all respects - flexible, patient, creative, and reliable. We would absolutely recommend her to other families and look forward to having her back!”

Booked by 1 family in Richmond, CA

Hi! I’m Claudia, a caring and dependable childcare professional with 10+ years of experience working with children and families. I have a BA in Psychology and a background in education, teaching, literacy intervention, behavioral support, and long term nannying. I’ve worked with children from newborns through their teenage years and have experience with homework, reading, school routines, activities, transportation, and everyday care. I’ve also worked as a family assistant, helping with the day to day needs of busy families. I’m organized, patient, responsible, and genuinely enjoy working with children. I love creating a balance of structure and fun through reading, games, outdoor activities, crafts, and learning. I especially enjoy getting to know each child’s personality and finding activities they are excited about. I also speak English and Spanish fluently and have knowledge of Portuguese. I’m currently looking for occasional and weekend childcare opportunities and would love to be a dependable extra set of hands for your family! I have references upon request!
