Find nannies in Castro Valley, CA

In the past I have driven children to and from extracurricular activities, helped out with homework, and set a playful yet secure environment while under my care. My ten years of experience include babysitting and nannying toddlers thru their early teens. I am always learning something new with every child and gaining the experience I need to help me achieve my future goal of becoming a pediatric nurse. Caring for children has always been something I have been very passionate about and have found extremely rewarding.

Preschool Teacher with a Master's degree in Psychology seeking to return to nannying. CPR and First-Aid certified. I am currently a preschool teacher in the East Bay M-F until 5:45pm so I'm open to after school babysitting or transitioning jobs for the right fit. Our school year ends in May and I would love to find the right family to work for when my current kiddos transition to their next class. I previously worked as a full-time nanny for a family with a 2-year-old boy as well as a family with three wonderful children (ages 3, 5, and 8). I also worked as a teacher in a Montessori preschool in San Francisco for 4 years. As a teaching assistant and also an extended day teacher, I was responsible for creating activities, leading storytime, helping children with their projects as needed, guiding children in conflict resolution, modeling kindness, leading movement songs, changing children who had potty accidents, and ensuring children were prepared for pick-up with all of their art and belongings. I completed my Master's in Psychology in 2021 and am eventually planning to return to graduate school to pursue licensure as a marriage and family therapist. I am warm, patient, kind, and genuinely care deeply for the children in my life. I am so grateful to spend my days with them. I love reading with children, doing art projects, playing at the park, and singing songs together. I place a strong emphasis on social-emotional learning and modeling kindness and empathy. I also enjoy fostering children’s innate interests and curiosities. As a former teacher, I am confident in supplementing and enriching children’s learning. It is deeply important to me to maintain contact with the children for whom I served as a nanny and essential that families understand the genuine love that can exist between children and their long-term caregivers. I'm looking forward to learning more about your children!

I have over 20 years of experience as a teacher for children of all ages back in my home country of Chile. I have a lot of experience as well caring for elders, cleaning, and cooking, and performing any needed tasks. I love animals and all living creatures.

Here’s a polished and warm summary you can use: I’m a dedicated and kind caregiver with over 10 years of experience caring for children of all ages. As a mother to a 4-year-old son, I understand the importance of patience, safety, and creating a nurturing environment where children feel secure and happy. Kids naturally connect with me and feel comfortable right away. I work as a substitute teacher with Swing Education. I am currently completing Child Development studies at Ohlone College, which strengthens my understanding of early childhood growth, learning styles, and positive behavior guidance. I’m responsible, attentive, and love planning engaging activities that support creativity and development. I have experience with infants, toddlers, and school-age children, and I can also assist with light household tasks. Families appreciate my calm personality, reliability, and genuine love for children.
