Booked by 4 families in Oakland, CA

Hello! My name is Livia. I’m a 32-year-old Brazilian childcare provider with over 10 years of experience working with children. My journey started in Brazil volunteering at daycares, church programs, and babysitting for local families. After moving to the USA, I served as an Au Pair for 2 years and have been working as a professional nanny in the Bay Area ever since, including long-term roles with wonderful local families. Currently, I am in a career transition while pursuing my studies, which is why I am focusing on part-time and occasional babysitting jobs. Childcare remains a passion of mine, and I continue to offer reliable, high-quality care to families in the area. I’d love to connect, meet your family, and chat about my background or answer any questions you have about me!

Booked by 2 families in Oakland, CA

Away from the Bay until May 27th! I'll be back and available to book again on 5/27/2026. My CV: sites.google.com/view/minervalerner/cv I'm passionate about childcare and education, and have worked in daycare, preschool, and elementary school and summer camp settings. I've taught and provided care for children ages 2-10; I've also been involved with animals since childhood as a city shelter volunteer and foster caregiver for both cats and dogs. Most recently I've been trained through In-Home Social Services (IHSS) as a live-in caregiver for an elderly adult, assisting in both medical care and daily home maintenance tasks. I'm thoroughly organized (a total neat freak!) and ready to assume a supporting role (having worked as an assistant teacher/caregiver more often than in leading positions). Your little ones' safety and well-being are my top priorities, second only to your own peace of mind – I know how hard it can be to juggle household needs, and I'll take on whatever tasks necessary with enthusiasm!

Hello! My name is Leslie, and I have a strong passion for childcare and child development. I have experience working with children of all ages, including children who are neurodivergent. I strive to create a supportive, patient, and engaging environment tailored to each child's needs. Whether it's helping with schoolwork, planning creative activities, or providing a calm and structured routine, I'm here to support your family. I am happy to assist with light housekeeping or meal prep. I'm committed to providing compassionate and reliable care! Some background about me: I am a recent UC Berkeley grad and am currently taking some courses before applying to medical school where I will aim to become a pediatrician. Some of my hobbies include baking and reading. I am also fluent in Spanish and can aid the child into learning a new language if that is something they are interested in! I am currently available for occasional babysitting after late afternoons and weekends as well. Don't hesitate to reach out and we can see if your kiddo and I are a good fit!!

Booked by 1 family in Oakland, CA

I really enjoy spending time with kids and keeping them busy with fun, creative activities. I like playing games, doing arts and crafts, and painting. I speak Ukrainian and Russian fluently, and I also speak intermediate English.

“I highly recommend Nataliya! She spent quality time painting and doing puzzles with our child, took them to the library, and made sure they were well-fed and engaged throughout the day. Nataliya was warm, attentive, and caring, and we would happily have her babysit for us again.”
