With five years of dedicated experience in the field of childcare, I provide an unparalleled level of care, safety, and support for families. My extensive background includes working with children from infancy (3 months) to early adolescence (13 years), cultivating a nurturing and engaging environment that prioritizes each child’s development, well-being, and individuality. Certified in CPR, first aid, and EpiPen administration, I am fully prepared to respond to any circumstance, ensuring peace of mind for the families I serve. In my recent role, I have expanded my expertise to encompass comprehensive household management, blending childcare with refined housekeeping services. Over the past year, I have supported homes through meticulous organization, pet care, errands, driving, meal preparation, and more—dedicated to creating a harmonious, seamless environment tailored to each family’s needs. My bilingual proficiency—native Spanish and an upper-intermediate level of English—enhances my ability to connect meaningfully in diverse settings. Continuously improving my English fluency, I am committed to fostering open, effective communication with families from a variety of backgrounds. Above all, I am known for my professionalism, adaptability, and discretion. I bring a thoughtful, refined approach to my work, supporting the unique lifestyle and aspirations of each family I serve.

Hi! I'm Anja (An-ya)! I’m a Bay Area native and a mom! I have a daughter who is 3. I have availability on Thursday with some Fridays. Let me know if you want my daughter to come along! I've been working as a babysitter and nanny since high school, when I regularly babysat for neighborhood families with toddler age children. In college I worked for a service (fittingly) called College Nannies and Tutors, which provided on-call care for a variety of families across the Bay Area. I was booked with families whose daycare providers were on vacation, children who were too sick to go to school, and for kids whose parents worked from home - or who just needed a day to themselves! As you can imagine, I got to know a diverse group of children and parents and was able to work closely with them to meet their own special set of needs. I love fostering children's imagination and independence, and getting to know their unique personalities. Whether it's dinosaurs, dump trucks, Elsa, or Lightning McQueen, if they're interested, I'm interested!

“Anya was great with our 9 month old! Super communicative and attentive. We would hire her again, definitely!”

I’ve been a nanny for over 15 years and truly enjoy helping children learn, grow, and feel safe. I am patient, dependable, and loving, with experience caring for infants, toddlers, and school-age children. I enjoy planning fun, age-appropriate activities, reading, crafts, outdoor play, and creating a consistent daily routine. I’m looking for a part-time nanny position, available weekdays from 2:30 PM to 11:45 PM and open to weekend care. I do not provide pet care. I look forward to finding a wonderful family to support!

Hi! My name is Dominique, but I go by Doma. I've been around babies and children my whole life. I grew up with my mom running her own home day care and started babysitting at 15 years old for family friends. I'm the second oldest of six children with my two youngest siblings being 9 and 11 years old, so I’m comfortable with watching multiples, doing housework and managing the occasional (or day to day) chaos. I am flexible, empathetic, and overall just really value genuine connection with those I share space with. I’ve found it important for me to be able to really partner with parents and openly communicate about how I can best care for their child and how we can support each other in the process. I look forward to hopefully doing that with you!

I just graduated from school with my Doctorate in Occupational therapy and am looking for extra babysitting to help with paying off my student loans. I work in early childhood mental health and school-based OT. I got my undergraduate degree from Southern Oregon University in Ashland, Oregon, with a major in Theater, emphasis in set construction. I also have a minor in Early Childhood Development. Before COVID I worked at Cal Shakespeare in Berkeley/Orinda. I have been working with children for the past 18 years as a date night sitter, a nanny, a childcare worker, and a preschool teacher. I have experience with all ages. I am CPR certified, and I recently just refreshed my certification. I love working with all types of children. I love to play games (inside and outside), watch movies, build forts, and I especially love arts and crafts with the kiddos.
