Find nannies in Castro Valley, CA

Hi! My name is Dior, and I’m currently a high school senior graduating on June 3rd. Since October, I’ve been working as an Assistant Kindergarten Teacher through an internship where I’ve gained hands-on experience working with children in both small groups and full classroom settings. My responsibilities have included leading classroom activities, helping plan lessons, grading, organizing and creating classroom decorations, and attending field trips with the classes. I have a letter of recommendation I can provide if needed from the teacher I work alongside. Through my ROP Developmental Psychology of Children course, I will also graduate with 6 college credits in Child Development. In addition to my elementary teaching experience, I have experienced babysitting throughout the years, which helped me become patient, responsible, and comfortable caring for children of different ages. I also have experience working with animals through volunteering at the East Bay SPCA caring for dogs and cats. Along with this, I have two years of experience working in the food industry, which strengthened my communication skills, responsibility, and ability to work in fast-paced environments. I’m dependable, caring, organized, and passionate about creating a safe and positive environment for children.

I am excited to support a household as a dedicated nanny. With four years of experience managing multi-child families ranging from newborns to ten-year-olds, I bring a proactive, calm, and highly organized approach to everyday childcare. As a university lecturer, active filmmaker, and community storyteller, I bring fun, creativity, and organization to my role as a nanny. My background includes caring for a family with two children across the toddler to ten-year-old spectrum, as well as a family with three children spanning from newborn to ten years old. Managing households with wide age gaps has given me a deep understanding of varied developmental milestones. I am adept at balancing complex schedules, whether that means managing newborn feeding and nap routines while simultaneously supervising a ten-year-old’s homework and creative projects. Beyond safety and logistics, my focus is on fostering an environment of curiosity, emotional stability, and engaging daily activities tailored to each child's interests. I pride myself on clear communication, reliability, and adapting to a family’s unique culture so you can focus entirely on your endeavors with complete peace of mind. I would welcome the opportunity to connect and discuss how my childcare background can best serve your family.

Hello, my name is Mahliyah, and I am 20 years old. I graduated from Pittsburg High School in 2024, and was a dedicated student-athlete. Throughout my life, I have gained extensive experience working with children of various ages, beginning at a young age. My mother worked in several preschool settings, including Bright Horizons and Redwood Forest Preschool, where I regularly volunteered and assisted teachers and staff in supporting young children. In addition to my volunteer experience, I have played an active role in helping care for my younger siblings and cousins and have provided babysitting services for multiple families over the years. These experiences have strengthened my ability to build meaningful relationships with children by adapting to their unique personalities, needs, and energy levels. Whether providing a calm, supportive environment or engaging in fun, active play, I strive to create a positive and nurturing experience for every child. I am patient, compassionate, dependable, and committed to supporting each child’s individual growth and well-being. I am currently employed as a Registered Behavior Technician (RBT), a role I have held for a little over a year. Working in applied behavior analysis has strengthened my communication, problem-solving, and behavior management skills while reinforcing my passion for helping children reach their full potential. I implement individualized behavior intervention plans, teach and reinforce new skills, and support clients in achieving meaningful developmental goals. One of the most rewarding aspects of my work is witnessing the progress my clients make over time and celebrating their accomplishments alongside their families. Because each client has unique strengths and challenges, I have learned to remain flexible, patient, and creative in my approach to care. I am CPR certified as I feel that is a necessity to working with children. Beyond childcare, I am happy to assist with household tasks such as cleaning and organizing, which I believe are important in creating a comfortable and structured space for children to thrive. I am also very comfortable around animals and have a genuine love for them. I have experience caring for both small and large dogs and currently have two dogs at home—a pitt bull and a Maltipoo mix.

I have 28 years of hands-on caregiving experience, having raised two children who are now ages 28 and 21. I understand the importance of providing a safe, nurturing, and attentive environment for school-aged children. While my children were in grades 1–5, I supervised elementary school children to and from school five days a week. I am also a proud grandmother to three grandchildren—one age seven and twins age six—which has further strengthened my patience, responsibility, and ability to care for children of different ages.

Hi, I’m Zoya! I have over 5 years of experience working with children and a strong educational background in Biology. I have cared for children of different ages and enjoy creating a safe, positive, and engaging environment where they can learn, play, and feel comfortable. I’m also familiar with Montessori principles and child development, and I enjoy planning age-appropriate activities that encourage creativity, independence, curiosity, and learning through play. I’m patient, attentive, reliable, and understand that every child has their own personality, needs, and developmental pace. My background in science has also made me especially interested in nature-based and educational activities. I love doing arts and crafts, reading, outdoor activities, simple science projects, and other hands-on activities that keep children engaged while supporting their development. I’m comfortable helping with daily routines such as meals and snacks, naps, diaper changes, playtime, homework, and bedtime routines, depending on the child’s age. I always prioritize safety while creating a warm, supportive, and fun environment for the children I care for.
