Hi families! My name is Shaaravi but you can call me Sasha :) . I currently work in real estate, but I’ve also spent years caring for children, from babysitting at ages 16-18 to working as an au pair (live in nanny) in France and Italy. I’m looking to make some extra income while doing something I truly enjoy: helping kids feel safe, supported, and happy. As an au pair, I cared for children of different ages, managing school routines, playtime, meals, and household responsibilities. That experience taught me patience, flexibility, and how to balance fun with structure. I’d love the chance to support your family and create a safe, positive environment for your children. Looking forward to connecting!
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.
Hi! My name is April and I am currently nursing student at Nightingale College! In addition, I have experience with child development education from Sacramento State University. My love for children has grown exponentially as I learned to care for my cousin with a cleft lip and palate condition since she was an infant. She has taught me the importance of patience and understanding through passionate child care. Overall, I would love to have the opportunity to work with your child, as I aspire to become a NICU nurse one day. Please feel free to reach out to me with any questions or concerns. Thank you for considering me to become your child's nanny!
Fostering children's growth and development is my true passion. Over the past two years, I have embraced the opportunity to make a positive impact on young lives through dedicated caregiving. I am a patient, calm, and creative professional who genuinely enjoys engaging children through educational games, puzzles, and board games. I hold First Aid Training certification and am very comfortable enforcing your household rules to ensure consistency. Whether I am assisting with meal preparation, light housekeeping, or supervising swimming, I prioritize safety and fun. I value clear communication and will provide regular updates via text or in-person chats to keep you informed about your child's day. I am comfortable caring for up to three children across all age groups. I look forward to bringing my imaginative approach to your home and becoming a supportive, trusted partner in your family's daily life.
Hello! My name is Leslie, and I have a strong passion for childcare and child development. I have experience working with children of all ages, including children who are neurodivergent. I strive to create a supportive, patient, and engaging environment tailored to each child's needs. Whether it's helping with schoolwork, planning creative activities, or providing a calm and structured routine, I'm here to support your family. I am happy to assist with light housekeeping or meal prep. I'm committed to providing compassionate and reliable care! Some background about me: I am a recent UC Berkeley grad and am currently taking some courses before applying to medical school where I will aim to become a pediatrician. Some of my hobbies include baking and reading. I am also fluent in Spanish and can aid the child into learning a new language if that is something they are interested in! I am currently available for occasional babysitting after late afternoons and weekends as well. Don't hesitate to reach out and we can see if your kiddo and I are a good fit!!
