Find nannies in Oakland, CA

Hi prospective families! My name is Olevia, and I’ve been a nanny for nearly five years. I have experience with children ranging from infancy to high school, though most of my background is with infants and toddlers. I graduated from the University of Arizona with my Bachelor of Science in Public Health and have recently been accepted into graduate school, where I will be pursuing my Master of Public Health in Health Policy. I am currently a nanny for a sweet 21-month-old boy, whom I’ve been with since he was 10 months old. This is the third family I’ve had the pleasure of working with through UrbanSitter. I’m now looking to pick up additional babysitting hours as I prepare to begin graduate school and continue supporting myself through my education. I’m originally from Oakland and grew up throughout the Bay Area. I began working in childcare during college, nannying and tutoring through local agencies. During summers, I worked as a camp counselor at my former elementary and middle school, averaging 35 hours a week. In addition to my professional experience, I’ve also helped my sister care for her now 4-month-old daughter since birth while her husband is deployed in the Air Force. I grew up playing competitive sports, primarily basketball, and I value staying active. I enjoy getting kids outside, going on walks, and planning age-appropriate activities that keep them engaged. I also love cooking and am happy to help with meal prep for children and families. I pride myself on being reliable, patient, and attentive, and I aim to create a safe, nurturing, and fun environment for every child I care for. I look forward to connecting with your family!

Hiiii! My name is Ginnete, and I’m an experienced nanny and babysitter who genuinely loves working with children. I have experience caring for infants, toddlers, and school-aged children, creating safe, nurturing, and engaging environments where they can learn, grow, and have fun :) I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Cultural and Arts Management, and I love incorporating creativity, art, storytelling, and hands-on activities into everyday routines. I enjoy helping children build confidence, independence, and curiosity through play. I am patient, reliable, organized, and energetic. I’m comfortable managing daily routines, preparing meals and snacks, assisting with homework, driving children to activities, supporting nap and bedtime routines, and caring for multiple children at once. Safety is always my top priority. Families often describe me as caring, trustworthy, responsible, and easy to communicate with. My goal is to create a positive environment where children feel safe, supported, and excited to learn every day. I look forward to connecting with your family!

Hi! My name is Lauryn and I recently graduated from Arizona State University with 2 Bachelor degrees in Psychology and Criminal Justice! While being a student at ASU I was a full time nanny for child for 2 years. I watched him grow and develop from 2 months old all the way to 2 years old! When I had free time on the weekends I often would watch other children as well, and build close bonds with them. In my free time I enjoy doing hot yoga, watching reality TV, and hanging out with friends! I’m also CPR certified!

Hi! My name is Sienna and I've been nannying for over ten years. I grew up in Boston, where I worked in the infant room at Epiphany School caring for babies from one month up to eighteen months, so bottles, naps, diapers, and tummy time are all second nature to me by now! I've also spent plenty of time with older kids over the years, so siblings are always welcome company. I moved out to San Francisco about a year ago and live in Pacific Heights. I recently transitioned out of a role in private equity, which means I have a lot more free time and flexibility than I used to - I'm excited to put it toward something I've always loved doing. I'm patient, warm, and a big communicator; you'll hear from me during the day and get the full rundown at pickup. I went to Dartmouth College and I'm starting business school at Stanford in fall 2027, so I'm in the Bay Area for the long haul and would love to find one family to get to know and help whenever I can. Outside of work, you'll usually find me biking, hiking, or trying new restaurants around the city. Infants are my favorite age, and I feel lucky that this is the work I get to do. I'd love to meet your family!
