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.
Hello, I’m Mercedes! It’s a pleasure to connect with you. I was born and raised in Oakland, CA. I am Montessori trained for ages 0–6, including Early Childhood Education. I work part-time in a preschool environment and am comfortable with a wide range of age groups. I focus on creating a positive and supportive environment through meaningful activities — arts and crafts, outdoor play, books, and creative projects. I pride myself on being reliable and fully present with each child I care for, approaching every task with enthusiasm and dedication. I am also fully CPR/First Aid certified and prioritize health and safety in every aspect of my work. Thank you for taking the time to learn a bit about me, and I look forward to the possibility of working with your family! Feel free to reach out if you have any questions. Have a wonderful day!
“Mercedes was so great with our daughter. She had such good instincts around developmental play and was extremely comfortable and took charge from the first moment she arrived. Would definitely recommend and will book in the future!”
