Find nannies in Oakland, CA

Hello! My name is Amanda, and I’m a former nanny with over 7 years of childcare experience caring for newborns, infants, toddlers. I worked as a nanny while attending college in the U.S. Professionally, my background is in marketing and advertising, but caring for children has always been one of my greatest passions in life. Currently, I’m looking for occasional babysitting opportunities to support local families. The majority of my experience has been with newborns and infants, supporting families through the important early stages of development. I have extensive experience establishing feeding routines, supporting healthy sleep habits, engaging in age-appropriate developmental activities, and creating nurturing environments where children feel safe, loved, and secure. Throughout my journey, I have worked with both long-term and short-term families and have experience caring for multiple children at the same time, including siblings with different developmental needs and schedules. I am comfortable balancing feedings, naps, activities, meal preparation, transportation, and daily routines while ensuring each child receives individualized attention. I am CPR and First Aid certified and have experience supporting families with sleep training, Baby-Led Weaning (BLW), potty training, and Montessori-inspired learning. I believe in fostering independence, confidence, and curiosity while maintaining a warm, patient, and loving approach. Outside of childcare, I am an outdoorsy person who loves nature and living an active lifestyle. I currently live on a sailboat in the Bay Area, which has strengthened my appreciation for adventure, exploration, and the natural world. I enjoy incorporating outdoor activities, walks, playground visits, and nature-based learning experiences into children’s daily routines whenever possible. I pride myself on being dependable, patient, communicative, and supportive. My goal is to become a trusted extension of the family while creating a warm environment where children feel safe, loved, and encouraged to thrive. Thank you for taking the time to read my profile! I hope we have the opportunity to meet and work together. I’d be honored to care for your little ones and become someone your family can rely on. I look forward to connecting with you!

Hello, dear families! My name is Bruna, and I’m 30 years old. I have a bachelor’s degree in social communication. I consider myself very open-minded, dedicated, easygoing, and proactive. I have more than 5 years of experience working with kids aged 1 to 12 years old, including special needs kids, particularly those on the spectrum of autism.
