Find a last-minute babysitter in Orinda, CA

With close to ten years of experience in youth education and childcare, I have worked with children ages three and up across a wide range of settings. My academic background spans psychology and theater arts, including a semester of dedicated research in early childhood developmental psychology. Beyond nannying, my deepest passion is theater — I have performed in dozens of professional stage productions throughout the Bay Area, including children's theater in San Francisco. I bring that creative energy directly to my work with kids: I teach drama and vocal lessons to students ages five and up, and co-founded a drama camp and daycare program in Point Richmond back in 2020. I began nannying at 20 and have genuinely loved every stage of this work. In addition to childcare, I'm happy to assist with basic household tasks, offer pet care (I'm a former dog walker and current cat owner), and provide transportation — I have a valid CA driver's license and my own vehicle. If your child has an interest in performing arts, I'd also love to incorporate some singing or drama games into our time together.

Hi! My name is Claire and I recently graduated from the University of San Francisco with a Bachelors in communication studies. I have been babysitting since freshman year of high school and also have four years of experience coaching kids soccer both boys and girls ages 5-10. I have loved being able to share my love for soccer while coaching and really enjoy babysitting. I have grown up with dogs and have a lot of experience taking care of them as well. I studied abroad in Italy in 2023 where I interned at a local cooking school and cooking is one of my favorite things to do!
