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 Elinor, and I’d love to connect with your family! I moved to Oakland two years ago and currently teach 7th grade. As the eldest of four kids, taking care of children has always been second nature to me—I started babysitting when I was 14 and haven't stopped since! While I love teaching during the school day, babysitting outside of school hours allows me to keep working with kids of all ages while helping me make ends meet. I'm open to all types of jobs and bring a ton of flexibility! During the school year, I'm mostly available for afterschool care and weekends, as well as during school breaks and holidays. I am also available for house sitting and pet sitting, both of which I have done many times over the years. I am fully open to traveling with families and doing overnight stay care as well. Beyond child care, I have a lot of experience with—and genuinely love—organizing. I'm always happy to jump in and help out with household chores, whether that's laundry, meal prep, or keeping things tidy and running smoothly. I hold a degree in History and Secondary Education from Grinnell College, along with CPR and First Aid certifications. Beyond standard babysitting, I teach 7th grade English and 8th grade math, so I am always happy to provide tutoring or homework help if your child needs extra support! Over the years, I've worked as a nanny, camp counselor, and swim instructor, so I’m comfortable with everything from driving to after-school activities and meal prep to organizing fun outdoor games and keeping kids engaged. I’d love to chat and see if I’d be a good fit for your family! Warmly, Elinor Hanley

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. I’m super patient and passionate about working with kids. I love playing and always strive to find new activities for the children, such as singing, dancing, reading, going to the library, and engaging to help with their development. I'm also a mom, so I understand how important it is to have someone you can trust to watch your little one. I enjoy working together with the parents to provide the best care for the kids and ensure they are growing up healthy and happy. During my free time, I love cooking, visiting museums, and going to the beach. I am fully vaccinated and take COVID-19 precautions seriously, so I would appreciate the same from the family. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to send me a message. I will be more than happy to talk and answer all your questions. Thank you so much for considering me. Bruna
