I'm the proud mom of a kind, curious, and cuddly tiny human who fills my life with joy and inspiration. Plus, I bring over 20 years of professional experience as a child care provider, camp counselor, tutor, family/personal assistant, household manager. On top of that, I have a lifetime of hands-on experience as the eldest sister of eight siblings-including two sets of twins! My philosophy is simple: Children teach us as much as we teach them. They remind us to slow down, find beauty in the little things, ask questions, and embrace change. I strive to nurture curiosity, intellect, and imagination in a safe, compassionate environment. I integrate music and play into everyday activities while empowering children to grow with confidence, self-discipline, and self-respect. I adapt my approach to each child's unique needs and development, as well as to each family. My passion lies in working as a team to create a fun and engaging atmosphere that fosters learning and growth!

Hi! My name is Ottie and I'm a 24 year old student at UC Berkeley. I've been working with children since I was 15, I started nannying and tutoring children ages 5 to 16 and then I moved on to working at schools in care programs. I also worked for 2 months in Romania at a program for underprivileged children in a director position which meant I was in charge of managing all classes, counselors, and communicating with families. I have a first aid certification, valid CPR, and have experience with infants which I would love to discuss further. Other than that, I've been nannying in the Bay Area for the last 4 years, and I have experience with children of all ages. I love to play and be creative. I am constantly in awe of children's enthusiasm and curiosity and I am always learning from them through play and conversation. I'm an energetic, curious and creative person. I am currently working on call for some families in the area, ages ranging 3 months to 13 years, with families I connected with on Urban Sitter. I'd love to take care of your child, I am an experienced, responsible and communicative person, and if you were interested, I'd love to talk over the phone about I can best care for your family 🙂 I am also trained and have experience working with children with autism, along with a range of other developmental differences including physical differences, ADHD, down syndrome, OCD, and asperges. I would love to discuss your child's needs further and share more about my experience and expertise in this area.

Hello parents! I have been working with children since I was 14. I have been a camp counselor, a swim instructor aide, a lifeguard and a nursery care provider. I have current CPR/AED and first aid training as well as infant and child CPR training. I have experience with children of all ages. I love spending time with kids because they are so much fun and have boundless energy. When I take care of kids I love to play games, do arts and crafts, or anything else that keeps them active! I am also available to help with pets, light household chores, or any other things as needed. In my spare time I love reading, music movies, and spending time with friends. :) Please feel free to ask me any questions!

Hello, My name is Chanakarn, I also go by Chana. I’ve been babysitting since before the age of 18, after the age of 18 I’ve been nannying since then, which have now been 7 years of my nannying career. I’ve worked with many families for occasionally nannying, temporary nanny, one-time, part-time, as will have full-time nanny, including both short term and long term care. Some families have pets, dogs, cat, or both, I get along with them as well, and sometimes will do dog sitting, as well as cat sitting. I’ve cared for children at the age of 1 months to the age of 13 year, which is definitely a wide range of different age group. This brings different energy, tactics, methods, and skills out to teach, grow, and learn alongside with them. I can confidently say that all of the children I’ve taken care of have their own unique personality and different ways of expressing their feelings. I’ve never deny their thoughts and expressions, but will calmly show and explain what action is not nice to do if any case, how it can hurt others or harm themselves. Throughout the years of my experience I’ve learned so much and do understand ways to adapt and work with different individual personality traits. I love to see each individual grow and will continue to do what I love.
