Hi! My name is Casiana and I 30 I used to be an au pair and I have around 10 years of experience babysitting children ages 3 months to 7 years old. My experience includes not only occasional babysitting but also work as a full-time nanny. It is very rewarding to be with a family for several years and see children grow I have done yoga with kids, arts and crafts, coloring, drawing, painting, read books, took kids to story time at the library, made cards, decorated cookies for Halloween and Christmas, made gingerbread houses, went to doctors appointments, went to mommy and me classes with babies and their moms, took kids to play areas/indoor playgrounds, parks and outdoor playgrounds, scavenger hunts, went to piano recitals, did zoom ballet classes, went swimming in the pool and at the beach, went to the farmers market with kids, grocery shopping and cooking together, you name it: I’ve done it! I have a holistic approach and I like Waldorf, Montessori and gentle parenting philosophies and ideas but I am also flexible and follow whatever guidelines the parents like and advise. My interests outside babysitting include volunteering, community organizing, vegan food (I’ve been vegetarian for over a decade), mindfulness and meditation and I love dogs (I’m obsessed with my pugs lol) I also like reading and started my own book club last year.

Hi! My name is Selene and I’m a University of Berkeley, California graduate with a B.A. in psychology. I started sitting when I was 13 and supported families in my neighborhood with their kids. In college, I worked for a church’s childcare group (ages 4 months-4 years) and tutored children in Spanish and math. I have loads of experience with school aged children (3-10). My child related job experience includes working in a domestic violence shelter for mothers and children of all different ages. We tutored, mentored, and provided childcare in the shelter using a non violent empowerment model. I also worked with elementary school children and teenagers working as an after school aid at non profit that provides services to children in the mission. I’ve had a few long term tutoring and sitting jobs and am currently looking to support a few families at a need basis! I like to co create activities with the children im caring for that are developmentally appropriate. For example, I love to use textured toys and sensory activities for infants to improve dexterity and color recognition and for children 4-8, I love to play games that help them move and use their imagination. (Dance party anyone?) I would describe my baby sitting style as engaged, imaginative and collaborative.

I have over 15 years’ experience in Nanny/Babysitting. I adopted my niece and nephew (both at birth) at the age of 19 so I've had a lot of experience with children. I love being able to help parents and know that as a parent it is comforting to be confident that your child is not only being watched but is also having fun and safe. I am that Aunt/nanny, that will be silly and dance and sing if it makes the kids laugh, as long as they are having fun and learning!
