Find nannies in Alameda, CA

Hello! I’m Ella — a third-generation childcare worker, longtime nanny/sitter, and former preschool teacher based in Alamo Square. Over the years, I’ve had the joy of caring for children in many settings—from daycares & day camps to private homes as a nanny and home assistant. My experience includes working with multiple children of varying ages (including several sets of twins!), long-term care for neurodivergent kids, and supporting high-profile families, including the Founder/CEO of a childcare company. I'm a former preschool teacher at an Eco-Innovator & French Immersion school for children ages 1.5 to 4.5. In the last couple of years, I assisted a family with 3 kids ages 3 & under—including welcoming newborn twins! I also nannied part-time for a high-profile family with 3 kids, beginning when they were 3, 2, and 8mo. Parents and co-teachers describe me as highly attuned, creative, and communicative. I’m known for turning everyday moments into engaging learning experiences—whether it’s through rhymes and silly songs, thoughtful questions and conversations, or spontaneous storytelling. I love crafting activities that spark curiosity and joy. My childcare philosophy is rooted in the belief that everything is educational. -I believe children learn best through creativity, humor, exploration, and positive redirection. I value building off their natural interests, and I see outdoor play, art projects, and imaginative games as essential parts of each day. As someone raised near Joshua Tree National Park, I have a deep love for adventures, climbing, and bug-spotting with little ones—getting messy and curious right alongside them. As a lifelong writer, reader, and multimedia artist, I delight in co-creating with kids—whether that’s making up stories, multi-media art projects, or inventing pretend worlds. My style is warm, energetic, and fun, grounded in structure and a deep respect for each child’s individual needs and rhythms. I love connecting with kids of all ages, and nurturing their ability to create magic in everyday moments. Excited to connect with you!

Hello families! I love working with children and am looking for babysitting opportunities with kids of any age! I enjoy spending time with kids doing crafts, reading stories at bedtime, and keeping them happy and safe. Some of my hobbies include photography, singing, knitting, and yoga. I am a graduate of San Francisco State University, where I studied psychology with an emphasis on child development. I have been babysitting since high school and have worked with many local families with kids ages 0-13. I was a tutor for a year at an after school program where I facilitated activities and helped the children with their homework. After graduating college I worked for a year and a half at a group home for kids (ages 6 to 18) who struggled with regulating themselves during stress. One summer I also worked at a pre-school prep where I interacted with kids ages 8 months to 3 years doing activities such as reading, singing, crafts, art and other activities. And then most recently I taught mindfulness for two years at Oakland Public Schools and have been substitute teaching for the past year. I was very active for many years on Urbansitter back when it first started from about 2012 to 2017 and then I took a long break from it to focus on other career goals. Now I’ve decided to make a return to it since I’m on summer break and am hoping to continue with it into the next school year as I plan to be part time with my regular job. I currently live in San Leandro and am willing to go to Oakland, Hayward, Castro Valley, San Francisco and Lafayette. I look forward to hearing from you! Sheena

Hi! My name is Vanessa. I was born in Colombia. I’m 28 years old and I used to me a teacher. I’m offering my services as a caregiver, pet care, senior care and housekeeping. I always like working with kids, since I was a little girl. Back in my country, I study to become a teacher and work with different kids as a teacher and assistant on my internship. I was in charge of feeding the babies, changing dipper from the toddlers, create several activities like sensory games and listening exercise for the toddlers and babys. When I got my degree, I started with older kids. It was more like planning activities according to the subject that the principal assign me. I connect with most kids, I’m funny, responsable, reliable and tolerante. I enjoy doing art, science projects, walks around the park, playing basketball and baking. I’m pretty good at board games too. I grew up with pets my whole life. In my country, I have 12 cats and 2 dogs. I have experience taking care of parrots too, because my aunt have one and we do the feeding together and changing the newspaper. I’m comfortable with all kinds of pets, but my experience is with small pets like poodles or pugs.
