I’m a reliable, warm and attentive 30-year-old based in the Berkeley area, currently transitioning from a career in communications into publishing and bookselling. While I get settled in the East Bay, I’m returning to nannying and babysitting, something I’ve loved and returned to throughout my life. I’ve been caring for children since my teenage years, with consistent experience babysitting and nannying over time. I’m most experienced with children ages 4–12, and I also have some hands-on experience with infants and toddlers. I love being part of a child’s day in a way that feels both fun and supportive, whether that’s imaginative play, helping with homework or creating a calm, engaging environment. I’m naturally organized, communicative and emotionally attuned. I pay close attention to what children need, physically and emotionally, and I do my best to create a space where they feel comfortable, understood and encouraged to be themselves. Families I’ve worked with would describe me as dependable, warm and easy to communicate with. I take pride in being someone parents can trust and someone kids feel at ease around. Beyond childcare, I’m happy to help keep things running smoothly at home! This can include light tidying, organizing, meal prep , etc.
