My philosophy and approach to care-taking is to create a nurturing and engaging connection with children, which I believe is important for their feeling of safety, comfort, and healthy development. I have been babysitting for 15 years. Most recently I had a regular nanny gig 3 days/week for the one-year-old daughter of a music colleague. My broader experience ranges from weekly nannying for a two-year old in Manhattan, to sitting for 3 sisters ages 5-10 and helping them choreograph a living-room Free To Be You and Me dance production, to working daily with fifteen infants in a Kibbutz nursery in Israel. As a sitter, I love taking children outside to engage with the world--to parks, museums, libraries, age-suitable concerts or movement classes. I am a professional opera singer, with a Master of Music from the San Francisco Conservatory of Music, so I especially value the importance of music and play. I love singing to kids, finding out what their favorite songs are, teaching them songs, and exposing them to the incredible world of music. In the home, I engage children in conversation, do art projects, read books, engage in other creative projects like writing plays, or cooking. I also believe in the necessity of quiet time, and gauge when children need time to rest or be quiet. For older kids, I am equipped to help with homework, other school related projects, and practice of music lessons. INFANTS and BABIES I adore infants, and find that the best way to nurture them is through holding them, singing to them, playing with them in developmentally appropriate games, and taking them outside on walks in a carrier. AVAILABILITY I am a free-lance opera singer and voice teacher, and therefore have a flexible schedule including availabilities throughout the day and evening, both week-days and weekends. WHERE I LIVE AND GETTING AROUND I live in JP, and drive a Prius, though also enjoy traveling by bike, foot, and public transit! SICK CHILD? Because I rely on the health of my body for my performance, and because I hold myself responsible for not passing on germs to other children or families, my personal policy is to not babysit for sick children. Thanks for understanding! SCHEDULING AN INTERVIEW I'm happy to offer a phone or skype interview of up to 1/2 hour without fee, or an in-person interview, minimum 1 hour, with payment for my time. In your interview request, please let me know what are your specific childcare needs. Are you looking for a regular sitter for specific days every week, or are you looking for a sitter whom you can call on for individual times? What is the age and number of children? Where do you live? Please note anything else that you think I should know. Thanks so much, and looking forward to hearing from you!

I am booking occasional nights and daytime care as my schedule is open. I am seeking a part time or fulltime job in San Francisco, Berkeley, Albany, Oak. I am also open to working evening or daytime occasional care. After finishing a 14 month position a FT job with a 1.5- turning 2.5 child I had a 3 month temp job with a 1.5 year old. I have worked as a full time Nanny and Preschool teacher for 20 years in SF, Berkeley and Oakland. Truly Outdoorsy! I have enthusiastically enjoyed caring for the ages of 2-5 from age 18. Most of the families that I have worked with the past 8 years have left the area but are still fabulous references. I never used an agency. 2.5 Years I worked as nanny in Berkeley to a 1- 4 year old in Berkeley, 4 plus years recently, and numerous families in SF during 2021- 22. I cared for a 2 year old full time and the 5 year old part time. I have over 23 years of nannying experience. I started young! I have a BA in Psychology and took 8 education courses. I studied abroad in India, Nepal and Tibet. In college I worked at a daycare then started a drama club at the same afterschool program for 3 years. I assisted a Waldorf - inspired preschool, taught at a Montessori based English language immersion preschool and kindergarten in Taiwan for 2 years. I worked as a teacher for 3 years with 2-5 year olds at a lovely Reggio play based preschool in Berkeley. I have been known to have a strong constitution, good health and I very much find children funny and wise. I found my calling early on.

With over a decade of dedicated experience in childcare, I bring warmth, reliability, and a deep understanding of children’s needs to each family I work with. I’ve provided one-on-one care as well as support for multiples, including serving as a full-time nanny for three siblings—an infant, a 2.5-year-old, and a 5-year-old. My background also includes roles as an au pair, tutor, teacher, and camp counselor, giving me a well-rounded foundation for connecting with kids of all ages. Please feel free to book any open time on my calendar, as I keep it updated regularly. For any questions, don’t hesitate to send me a message. I look forward to meeting you and your family! Booking Policies: --4-hour minimum booking --I’m not available for phone interviews but happy to schedule an in-person working interview if you want to meet before booking for a longer gig.

Hi! My name is Andrea and I am a 20 year old living in Oakland (Rockridge). Fun fact- I am 5th generation! I have been so lucky to have worked with children since I was 12 and for all of my previous jobs. I am comfortable caring for all ages! I have worked for •East bay Regional Park District• and •City of Oakland• as a recreation leader for after school programs and summer camps! I have worked for multiple families over the years and look to build more relationships with you and your children. To me it is very important to get a child out in nature and explore and experience everything in the outside world so I love to go on walks and out the house if that is possible with your child. I absolutely love all animals and am more than willing to care for them! I can help with light housekeeping, meal preparation, and any other. My goal is to provide a safe and nurturing environment where children can learn, play, and grow. I look forward to meeting you and your family! I am more than happy to do overnights and travel. CPR certified! I do not smoke! Do not drive! Please be sure of your hours before booking-you still pay for hours listed even if home early. If you want to extend hours, I am okay with that as long as there is clear communication! Thanks :)
