With five years of dedicated experience in the field of childcare, I provide an unparalleled level of care, safety, and support for families. My extensive background includes working with children from infancy (3 months) to early adolescence (13 years), cultivating a nurturing and engaging environment that prioritizes each child’s development, well-being, and individuality. Certified in CPR, first aid, and EpiPen administration, I am fully prepared to respond to any circumstance, ensuring peace of mind for the families I serve. In my recent role, I have expanded my expertise to encompass comprehensive household management, blending childcare with refined housekeeping services. Over the past year, I have supported homes through meticulous organization, pet care, errands, driving, meal preparation, and more—dedicated to creating a harmonious, seamless environment tailored to each family’s needs. My bilingual proficiency—native Spanish and an upper-intermediate level of English—enhances my ability to connect meaningfully in diverse settings. Continuously improving my English fluency, I am committed to fostering open, effective communication with families from a variety of backgrounds. Above all, I am known for my professionalism, adaptability, and discretion. I bring a thoughtful, refined approach to my work, supporting the unique lifestyle and aspirations of each family I serve.

Hi! My name is Dominique, but I go by Doma. I've been around babies and children my whole life. I grew up with my mom running her own home day care and started babysitting at 15 years old for family friends. I'm the second oldest of six children with my two youngest siblings being 9 and 11 years old, so I’m comfortable with watching multiples, doing housework and managing the occasional (or day to day) chaos. I am flexible, empathetic, and overall just really value genuine connection with those I share space with. I’ve found it important for me to be able to really partner with parents and openly communicate about how I can best care for their child and how we can support each other in the process. I look forward to hopefully doing that with you!

Hi there, I am a Bay Area native with over 10 years of experience in child care. I have a background in Creative Arts and Hospitality. I am bi-lingual (Japanese/English). I have been a proud nanny to many children here in the Bay Area, and it still is such a privilege to watch these kids grow and make their way in the world. I started babysitting the neighbors kids when I was young and eventually started teaching English in Japan after high school. I’ve helped raise my 16 year old brother since birth and feel comfortable with all ages. I am willing to do house-work, meal preparation and planning, animal care and house sitting. I have experience with Grade/Montessori school activities and hope to provide an environment where the kids feel comfortable to be themselves, learn, create, and have fun! In my free time, I am learning about business administration and working on starting my first Japanese comfort food business! I look forward to meeting you and the family!
