Find nannies in Piedmont, CA

My philosophy and approach to care-taking is to create a nurturing and engaging connection with children, which I believe is important for their feeling of safety, comfort, and healthy development. I have been babysitting for 15 years. Most recently I had a regular nanny gig 3 days/week for the one-year-old daughter of a music colleague. My broader experience ranges from weekly nannying for a two-year old in Manhattan, to sitting for 3 sisters ages 5-10 and helping them choreograph a living-room Free To Be You and Me dance production, to working daily with fifteen infants in a Kibbutz nursery in Israel. As a sitter, I love taking children outside to engage with the world--to parks, museums, libraries, age-suitable concerts or movement classes. I am a professional opera singer, with a Master of Music from the San Francisco Conservatory of Music, so I especially value the importance of music and play. I love singing to kids, finding out what their favorite songs are, teaching them songs, and exposing them to the incredible world of music. In the home, I engage children in conversation, do art projects, read books, engage in other creative projects like writing plays, or cooking. I also believe in the necessity of quiet time, and gauge when children need time to rest or be quiet. For older kids, I am equipped to help with homework, other school related projects, and practice of music lessons. INFANTS and BABIES I adore infants, and find that the best way to nurture them is through holding them, singing to them, playing with them in developmentally appropriate games, and taking them outside on walks in a carrier. AVAILABILITY I am a free-lance opera singer and voice teacher, and therefore have a flexible schedule including availabilities throughout the day and evening, both week-days and weekends. WHERE I LIVE AND GETTING AROUND I live in JP, and drive a Prius, though also enjoy traveling by bike, foot, and public transit! SICK CHILD? Because I rely on the health of my body for my performance, and because I hold myself responsible for not passing on germs to other children or families, my personal policy is to not babysit for sick children. Thanks for understanding! SCHEDULING AN INTERVIEW I'm happy to offer a phone or skype interview of up to 1/2 hour without fee, or an in-person interview, minimum 1 hour, with payment for my time. In your interview request, please let me know what are your specific childcare needs. Are you looking for a regular sitter for specific days every week, or are you looking for a sitter whom you can call on for individual times? What is the age and number of children? Where do you live? Please note anything else that you think I should know. Thanks so much, and looking forward to hearing from you!

Hello! I was born and raised in Austria and came to the US as an Au-pair 20 years ago, so I also speak fluent German. It's simple really, I love children and they love me. As an Aries I am an eternal child and relate to children very easily. I enjoy reading with them, doing arts and crafts, building forts and being outside. I also like to include them into chores in a playful way to keep them humble and make them feel accomplished. Communication is the biggest key for me and I love listening to my lil client's stories all day! In a nutshell I am fun, responsible, reliable and have a lot of energy. My philosophy is that your child is as much of a client as you are, I customize my care to the needs of the client. Please note I am available to work holidays but charge time and a half for those days. New Years Eve is double. Policies: I have a 4 hour minimum booking policy. CANCELLATIONS: For cancellations with less than 24 hours notice, I expect 50% of the original booking amount, which can be paid via PayPal or Venmo. EARLY RETURNS: Because I plan my time and budget around the hours booked, I ask to be paid for the entire booking, even if you come home early. LATE RETURNS: I'm usually flexible on the end time of a booking, but please text/call me if you'll be late, especially if we have not discussed flexibility beforehand. I occasionally book jobs back to back with just enough time for travel in between, and your late return can have an unfortunate impact on my schedule. For nanny shares I charge $20 per child.

I come from a large Nigerian family and I’m the second of five children.

I worked full-time as a professional nanny from 2020 to 2024. When I began with the family, they had a 3-month-old.
