Find nannies in Oakland, CA

Hi! My name is Chelsea and I live in the Castro. I studied Psychology at San Francisco State and have always had a special interest in child development. I am the eldest of six and have extensive experience working with children of all ages. Before I moved to the Bay Area, I worked as a household manager/nanny for entrepreneurs, an overnight nanny for a nurse, and as a Registered Behavior Technician (RBT) working with children with behavioral difficulties and developmental disabilities providing ABA therapy. In addition, I’ve worked intermittently as a sitter over the last 13 years, as a classroom aide (K-3), a summer camp counselor for middle school age children, a private reading tutor, and a dog walker. I have also held numerous part-time nanny positions throughout the city as well as been a full-time nanny for a family while living in their downstairs unit. Since moving to the Bay Area in 2019 I have had the pleasure of working with a number of different families. Some of my duties have included school and activity pick-ups/drop-offs, preparing healthy meals, bathing, running errands, cleaning, homework support, and providing a hug and comfort when needed. My favorite part about working with kids is helping them reach their potential. I am big on promoting learning at every opportunity through music, art, and exploring the world around us. Celebrating success is one of my favorite parts of my work. I love promoting and reinforcing hard work, while also being supportive during times of struggle. I specifically enjoy creating learning games to build academic skills while being engaging and exciting. I spend a significant amount of my free time learning about best practices in promoting healthy eating, emotional development, and self esteem in kids. I do not consider myself to be a pushover, but at the same time I am not harsh or mean. When I worked as an RBT, my supervisors described me as being very patient and consistent. A bit about me: I have lived in SF, Larkspur, and Petaluma, and love what both the city and Marin have to offer. On weekends I enjoy spending my time hiking all over Marin, or taking my German Shepherd to the beach to play catch with a frisbee. When I’m not outside, I enjoy learning new songs to sing to on the piano and ukulele and reading books on personal development.

Hi! I’m a reliable, patient, responsible, and experienced nanny and caregiver with a genuine passion for caring for children and helping families create a happy, safe, and well-managed home environment. I’m able to respond quickly and creatively to challenging childcare situations while remaining calm, patient, and attentive to each child’s individual needs. I believe children should have fun, but I also believe in creating opportunities for them to learn, explore, and develop their creativity. In addition to childcare, I’m an experienced tutor who has taught math and science. I’m happy to assist with homework, school projects, reading, and other educational activities. I enjoy keeping children engaged with age-appropriate learning activities rather than having them spend the entire day watching TV or playing on devices. I’m disciplined, dependable, personable, and a people person. I’m also comfortable preparing nutritious and delicious meals, as I genuinely enjoy cooking. Helping with meal preparation and maintaining a comfortable, organized home is something I take pride in. I’m nurturing, attentive, flexible, and willing to go the extra mile to support the families I work with. I understand that every family has different needs, and I’m happy to be flexible with schedules and stay longer when needed whenever possible. Most importantly, I care for children with the same patience, kindness, and attentiveness I would want for the children in my own family. I’m a sister, a friend, and an aunty, and caring for others comes naturally to me. I would love the opportunity to get to know your family and learn more about your childcare needs. Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions. Thank you, and I look forward to connecting with you!
