Hello, my name is Audrey and I have been a nanny for the past 10+ years. I received my bachelor's degree in Psychology and Social Behavior and I enjoy working with children ages 1+ year(s) and like providing children independence in what they do. I love helping children develop healthy coping skills as well as the freedom to fully express themselves. In my free time, I like to meditate, read, knit and make art. Please reach out to me with any questions you might have, I look forward to working with you and your young ones :)
Hey there! Thank you for taking the time to view my Profile! I am an experienced Nanny and Family Assistant. I graduated high school at the Las Vegas Academy of Performing and Visual Arts majoring in Voice Performance, and continued my education at AAU in San Francisco. I love singing and introducing kids to music and artistry. I also love nature and exploring! I have extensive childcare experience. Having 14 siblings, of which I am the oldest, I am very comfortable caring for children! I have been in the field of childcare for 15+ years, and are knowledgeable of infants and children of all ages. I really enjoy watching kiddos grow into amazing, independent people! I enjoy bike riding, skateboarding, trips to the park, and all things active; reading books, teaching signs, expressing emotion and life skills! Keeping the mind open and juices flowing is a must, especially for young growing minds! I look forward to hearing from you soon, Lovedia Doss My Policies: Please notify me if your children are sick, or if you have any pets (so that I am prepared). I require payment for ALL hours booked. Late arrivals without prior knowledge or approval are charged at 1.5x rate.
“Lovedia was awesome! She took care of three under three for an evening with zero issues! Would definitely recommend. ”
Hey 👋🏽 I’m Devin, a dedicated and compassionate caregiver with a unique background that blends professional leadership and hands-on childcare experience. I’ve spent the past few months coaching middle school basketball, where I mentor 6th, 7th, and 8th-grade girls and help them build confidence, teamwork, and resilience. Before that, I honed my leadership and organizational skills over 9.5 years in the tech industry as a Product Support and Customer Care Manager. In addition to my professional experience, I’ve spent over four years as a Camp Coach and Gym Director at Legarza Sports Camps, working with children of all ages to foster their growth and development in a safe, fun, and nurturing environment. I was also the JV Head Coach at Marin Catholic High School for two years, further solidifying my ability to connect with kids and teens while encouraging them to reach their full potential. Beyond my formal roles, I’m often the go-to babysitter for friends and family, caring for children from infancy to their teenage years. I bring a warm, caring, and engaging personality that puts people of all ages at ease, so much so that even strangers feel comfortable sharing their stories with me. Whether working with kids, teens, or seniors, I approach caregiving with empathy, patience, and a sense of fun. I love creating meaningful connections and tailoring my approach to meet each individual’s unique needs. From planning engaging activities for children to offering companionship and support to seniors, I take pride in making those I care for feel valued and comfortable. I bring a diverse set of skills, including cooking, cleaning, basketball training, and even website consulting, but I’m always open to discussing and adapting to meet the unique needs of your loved ones. If you’re looking for someone who combines reliability, kindness, and a natural ability to connect, I’d be honored to help care for your loved ones 🤗
“Devin was excellent. She was a great communicator and the kids were drawn to her from the moment they met her. She ensured they cleaned up all their stuff as we asked so when we returned we had sleeping children and a spotless house. We will definitely be having her back again soon! ”
Hello, my name is Kathryn! I'm a Mental Health Counselor at an elementary school in Oakland where I provide trauma-focused therapy. I completed my Master of Social Work at NYU in 2022, and prior to grad school, I was a kindergarten teacher for 7 years. I love exploring and learning with kids, and my teaching experience was focused on combining social and emotional wellness with project-based, exploratory learning. I am patient and love having fun with kids, but am also confident in setting clear boundaries and expectations that ensure safety and comfort are always the top priorities. I've worked extensively with children and adults with special needs as well, and am comfortable communicating in various ways to suit individual styles and abilities. I play the harp in my free time and am passionate about fostering creativity through music and art with young children. I also love being outdoors and led a nature club at school for a number of years, so I'm always looking for opportunities for kids to be scientists and learn from the world around them.

Select BPN Testimonials: 1. “Hello BPN Community - I would like to recommend Sarah who is available as an evening / weekend babysitter! We’ve had a wonderful experience with Sarah. She is incredibly engaging with our 3 year old, always coming prepared with age-appropriate activities, books, and creative ways to keep her interested. She also moves comfortably between caring for our preschooler and infant daughters, handling the transitions with ease. Her calm, steady presence makes our whole household feel more relaxed when Sarah is around. She communicates clearly with us, while she's at home with us and in between sessions if there are any logistics to align on. Most importantly, she’s been very reliable—showing up on time and ready to jump in every single visit. We’re grateful to have her support and would highly recommend her to any family looking for a thoughtful, capable, and trustworthy babysitter during evenings and weekends.” 2. “We'd love to recommend our babysitter Sarah.
