Booked by 3 families in Emeryville, CA

Hi Folks! My name is Diamond and I am a bay area native. Although I currently work in the legal field, my passion and love for caring for children tend to take over my evenings and weekends. I have over fifteen years of experience with children as I transitioned from a young sitter, to daycare employee, to personal family nanny for multiple families while in college. I am well versed with children ranging from newborn to teenagers. I currently work/serve as a Special Court Advocate (CASA) for abused and neglected foster youths in the San Francisco Bay Area since 2019. Many of the children that I've cared for have become like family, I believe in treating others how I would want to be treated or how I would want my own children to be treated. I take into account and note all guidelines that parents would like followed whether it be electronic use time or food restrictions due to diet or allergies. I pride myself on being an individual that parents can not only trust but want around their children in their absence.

Hi, my name is Oumaima. I'm 28 years old and I'm originally Italian. I consider myself a very reliable, patient and happy person. :) I truly enjoy spending time with kids so that makes my job a lot easier to do, I do love teaching them new things and be able to help them improve their skills. I have worked with children of all ages for the past 5years (newborns- 12/15yo) so I know how to handle a workload and be on top of the situation at all times.  I am a very energetic and outgoing person who enjoys outdoors activities and sports.  With the previous kids i worked with, we enjoyed going to the library together and read in italian/english; go to music classes, as well as gymnastic and yoga classes. If the situation allowed it we would spend the day at the museum or have playdates with our little friends at the park, of course,  depending on the age of the children activities tend to vary but i'm sure we'll find something exciting and fun to do! Previous experiences also include -sleep training  -introduction to solid food/finger food  -potty training  -laundry wash/fold  No need to mention that maintaining some sort of order in the house at all times and help with light housekeeping/meal prep. if necessary is totally fine and understandable; obviously my goal as a nanny is to provide the best environment possible for both the children and the parents.  My first language is italian but I also speak english, spanish and arabic. I would be very happy to introduce the kids to different languages but if not required english works perfectly fine.  I hope i was able to tell you a little bit about myself, but if you'd like to learn more please don't hesitate to contact me. Looking forward to hearing from you soon! Wish you a great rest of your day  Thank you -UMI

Booked by 3 families in Emeryville, CA

Hello, I look forward to meeting your family and pets. I have experience with giving care for 1-9 year olds. I have personal experience with raising, training, and caring for dogs. I am a masters of nursing student so my time may be limited due to school, but I would love to spend any free time I have babysitting for any family members.

Tina helped keep an eye on our little one during a family party at the park. It was a unique situation but Tina was game for the challenge. Very communicative, sweet, and flexible!
