Find nannies in Berkeley, CA

Experienced, kind, and flexible support looking to provide part or full time care (20-40 hours per week) in Berkeley/East Bay while I work on a part-time neuroscience project. I'm active/outdoorsy, creative, and nerdy--I love engaging children of all ages in the fullness of what's happening now! Available for work while my primary family is out of town June 22-June 27. Please note that my hourly rate may adjust for temp/ad hoc care. Recent references available. I grew up raising my eight younger siblings in an unschooling/off-grid environment, nannied school-aged children in undergrad, and have been heavily influenced by Maria Montessori, Rudolf Steiner (Waldorf School), and Fred Rogers. One of my early goals in getting to know your family would be to understand your ethos and preferences, and support them--I've worked well with many family structures and nurturing styles. I believe strongly in empowering children to be attuned to their instincts and environments, play/explore within healthy boundaries, and to treat themselves and others with respect and care. TLDR on logistics: I’m comfortable helping with cooking, chores, errands, pets, the pre/postpartum periods, and other items as needed—happy to discuss the scope of what you’re looking for. I live in Berkeley near downtown and have my own car.

Hello! I have been working with kids for the past 4 years now and I absolutely love it! I have the most experience with infants and toddlers but I still have ample experience with kids up to 12. I worked at a daycare for the past three years primarily with ages 6 weeks - 3 years but I also worked as a swim instructor with kids up to 12. I love crafting and playing games! I am comfortable with diapers, potty training, and breast milk/formula. I can watch 3-5 kids at once depending on the ages and I am also fully vaccinated.

Hi I’m Maddie and I currently work as an outdoor educator making the transition to classroom teaching this fall. I’ve worked in various childcare environments, finding the most reward from programs that prioritize outdoor experience, hands-on learning, creativity, and play. My interest in working with kids began in high school through various summer nannying and babysitting gigs, support at local in-home daycares and eventually with a local preschool. I’ve spent the past 5 years working in more structured outdoor-based school-year programs and summer camps. Within all of these roles I’ve worked with children of all ages, needs, backgrounds and experiences, allowing for me to have a deep understanding of how to support each child as an individual. I really appreciate being able to connect with all kids, and find great connection with people on the spectrum, or with behavioral needs. When working with kids, I love to find a balance between being energetic and silly with them while still maintaining respect and expectations. As an individual I could be described as silly, loud, and caring, I love spending time outside, doing all sorts of crafts and listening to live music. I am really excited to spend my summer hanging out with some cool kids and have a really flexible schedule. I’m open to consistent opportunities or occasional ones as well. If the fit is right I would also be open to maintaining a relationship into the school year for weeknight or weekend jobs. I am fingerprinted and background checked in CA, have an up to date Adult and Infant CPR and First Aid certification, a Wilderness First Aid certification as well as a Mental Health First Aid certification.

I have more than eight years of combined professional childcare experience, including six years as a nanny and nearly three years teaching preschool children ages 2–4. I also have nine units of Early Childhood Education coursework and am certified in Adult and Pediatric First Aid/CPR/AED. What I love most about working with children is introducing them to new experiences and seeing their curiosity and sense of wonder. I genuinely enjoy playing with children while helping them strengthen their skills, gain confidence, and become more independent with age-appropriate self-help tasks. Whether we’re exploring how gravity works through play, creating art, spending time outdoors, reading together, or practicing a new skill, I enjoy helping children understand the world around them. As a trained yoga teacher and photographer, I love incorporating movement, creativity, nature, and imaginative play into children’s days. I bring a warm, attentive, playful approach while supporting each child’s individual personality, developmental stage, and family routines.
