Hi, I’m Ali. I am a part time nanny with experience with kids of multiple ages. I love bonding with families and children to help them learn, play, and grow! I am a graduate student studying to become a child and family therapist (MFT) and am passionate about supporting families. I have reliable transportation and experience driving kids to and from school, activities, or appointments. I am very familiar with kids’ busy schedules! Some of my favorite activities include being outdoors, arts and crafts, games, music, dance, and rollerskating. I absolutely love to do creative projects with kids and provide an engaging environment. I’m also an animal lover and happy to provide pet care. I especially love cats! Other experience/specialties: LGBTQ+ families, families experiencing divorce, children in therapy, neurodivergent children. I am also trained as a Direct Support Professional (DSP) for children with developmental/intellectual disabilities, and registered as a provider with East Bay Regional Center. I have current CPR/first aid certification.
“Ali got along with my kids right away, with a calm but competent demeanor that put everyone at ease!”
I am an experienced childcare provider with five years of experience as a preschool teacher, and five years of experience as a nanny in families homes. I love to plan fun art activities, spend time outside exploring the natural world and teaching kids the names of different plants, and reading stories. I am currently enrolled in an herbal medicine program and am looking for part time work. I have an Early Childhood Education Associate Teacher certificate from Merritt College as well as a bachelors degree in Gender Studies from Mills College.
“Forrest is totally trustworthy. Would recommend her to everyone!”
Hello! Ive been working with children my entire working life. I began teaching swimming lessons to infants through pre-teens, babysitting infants-toddlers, and working as a high school mentor before going to college. I got a degree in Spanish literature and language in WA state (University of Puget Sound) and taught middle and high school in Andorra as a Fulbright fellow (borders Spain and France). After returning to the US, I went to Stanford to get my Masters in Education and worked with students for seven years across the Bay Area. I now work as a preschool/infant Montessori style educator/nanny, mentor, tutor, and educational consultant, in addition to pursuing my art in fusion dance and vocal performance. I love children, believe it is a life mission to help them feel understood and empowered, and have been described as quite the "Mary Poppins" advice, lullabies, and giant bag included :-) **Update: While I am currently looking for part-time and/or tutoring help, I am also available for occasional babysitting on the weekends/week nights!
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! My name is Erica and I've been watching children beginning with my little sister when I was in jr. high. Since then I have babysat children of all ages. I have worked at preschools and have taken classes in early childhood development. I taught my own class of 3 year olds, but have served as an aide in classes ranging from infant to 5 years. I am a fully licensed cosmetologist & work as a hairstylist at a salon in Berkeley. I love children of all ages and they tend to love me. I'm a child at heart and enjoy singing, art, going outside, and just having fun. In my free time, I enjoy reading, watching movies and tv shows, exploring the outdoors, and cooking.
“Erica is great! My son took right to her. He was immediately comfortable. She was patient and gentle! ”

"We were incredibly grateful that Maya was able to help us out with a last-minute childcare emergency. She matched our 9-year-old's energy with arts & crafts, some quiet reading, and a walk around the neighborhood. We'd have Maya back in a heartbeat!"
