Opening at Green Day Care (El Cerrito,Albany,Berkeley,Kensington,Richmond )
-----------------------------------------------
Opening at Green Day Care (EC Bart/Plaza)
Our son absolutely loved his time at Tsering's daycare. He
was in daycare for about 18 months and is now moving on to
preschool. What we will remember most is all the fun songs
he learned and would sing to us later at home. He learned a
lot of phrases too, like 'it's puzzle time everyone' and
likes to say them at home now.
Tsering teaches some sign language to the little ones too,
which helped my son to communicate early on. He still uses
the sign for 'more, more'. Recently, my son had started
potty training and Tsering was very willing to help (she had
good advice for us too).
Tsering is very gentle and respecting of the child's
feelings. We can tell how much the children have enjoyed
their day when we visit at pick-up time.
About the daycare: It is kept very clean and there are many
activities for the children, including painting and water
activities. There is a huge outdoor play area with both
shade and sun. Tsering and her husband are always looking
for new ways to improve the daycare environment too.
We strongly recommend Tsering's daycare and there is now an
opening. For a visit, contact Tsering @ 510-610-1711 or
tsering...@gmail.com

limits. They treat the kids with respect, and the kids treat each other with
compassion. Jill's House is clean and filled with challenging activities from

balanced food. Gina teaches an energetic dance class. There is often

Nanny available full or part time Mon-Fri (Berkeley/Oakland/Albany)
-----------------------------------------------
Hello!
My name is Julia, I was born and raised in Berkeley and am planning on being
here for at least a couple more years. For the past 8 months, I was the nanny
of four 2 year olds (having two a day). I learned so much from this experience
and would very much like to continue nannying. Before that, I worked at a
preschool with children ages 6 months-5 years.
I am a very fun loving person and think that routine and schedules as well as
fantastic art/learning projects are so great for kids. I believe in routines
because I think it makes children feel safe and therefore have the confidence
to explore and learn new things. I also love taking kids out to the park or zoo,
library, etc.
I am available Monday-Friday from 8-6 with some flexibility on hours.
Thank you for your time!

Occasional/PT Nanny Available, 10 yrs experience (N. Oakland, Rockridge, Berkeley, Lake Merritt,
etc)
-----------------------------------------------
Hello BPN!
My name is Adrienne. I have 10 years of experience as a
nanny in the Bay Area. I have worked for a diverse range of
families and have experience with infant care (the youngest
being 3 weeks old), toddlers, and children through the age
of 12. The majority of my nanny experience has been with
younger kids between 3 months to 5 years old. I also have
experience working with middle and high school age students
in various arts education programs.
I have worked with siblings and in share-care arrangements.
I am comfortable driving with kids, have a clean driving
record and know many fun ''hot spots'' for kids in the Bay
Area. I am more than happy to combine nannying with some
light housekeeping and errand running.
I love being around children and being a part of a child's
life and being present for their various exciting stages of
learning about the world. Nanny jobs are a wonderful way to
learn about child development and bond with kids before I am
ready to have my own.
I will provide references upon request and am available for
background check if desired.
I am available for occasional and/or part-time work during
the summer and beyond. My rate is $18-$20. Please be in
touch if you are looking for a nanny and think we may be a
good fit!

Amazing nanny seeking FT position (San Francisco)
-----------------------------------------------
Our former nanny is seeking a FT position, including share,
in SF. Kenia is truly wonderful. She was our son’s nanny
for more than two years and we love her. She stopped caring
for our son more than two years ago, but he still talks
about her all the time. Kenia is gentle, fun and has a
great way with children. My son always slept more, ate more
and complained less with her. The other parents who have
employed her say the same.
Kenia took the kids to the park, the library, the zoo, the
carousel downtown. When we got home from work, she always
had stories about them and the funny things they did that
day. She frequently took photos and sent them to us
throughout the day.
Kenia prepares meals and does light cleaning and laundry
while the children nap. I realize this isn't the main
qualification for a nanny, but she has been a joy to
interact with and we have remained friends.
Kenia's first language is Spanish, but her English is good.
She does not drive, but is great with the public
transportation system. She is extremely flexible, always
willing to work late or arrive early at the last minute.
And I trust her implicitly.

Wonderful nanny available! (El Cerrito, Albany, Berkeley, Oakland)
-----------------------------------------------
Our wonderful nanny/mother's helper will be looking for a new family to
work with starting in July. I will be at home full-time, so we won't be able to
afford to keep her, though we would love to continue having her help!
Her name is Dolma. She is Tibetan, but grew up mainly in India. She helps
with everything: taking care of the baby (feeding, cooking, cleaning,
bathing, napping, playing), the house (laundry, dishes, sweeping,
vacuuming), and is even helping us through a very difficult time with my
mom on hospice here at home (bathing, cooking). She is a Certified Nurse
Assistant and has three kids of her own, so whether it's taking care of
babies or older kids, helping around the house, or care for the elderly, she
is incredibly capable. She is kind, smart, accommodating, trustworthy, and
very thorough. Through these past few stressful months, she has been an
incredible, solid support for our family and especially our baby. We feel
incredibly lucky to have had her working in our home.
I'm happy to answer any questions you may have about my experience:
saila...@gmail.com. You can also contact Dolma directly at
Tsedo...@yahoo.com. She is very responsive to email, voicemail, and

nanny world for the past three years. But now I am back and
looking for a nanny/babysitter position.
I'm an experienced and compassionate nanny.
I'm kind, caring, energetic and resourceful. I know many
songs and activities for children having worked at
preschools. I can do arts and crafts with your child and
play at playgrounds and have fun!
In addition to my about five years of experience taking care
of children as young as newborns and as old as four years
old both for families and at preschools, I had completed
coursework in early childhood education. I am CPR certified
and have excellent references from local parents!
In addition to English I also speak Russian. Unfortunately,
or fortunately, I don't drive , but can ride my bike or
take a bus.
Currently I am taking temporary full time care of a two year
old boy in Emeryville. But will be available to start at my
new place at the beginning of July full or part time.
I am looking forward to hearing from you.
Thank you!

Seeking Afternoon Babysitter (Albany)
-----------------------------------------------
We're looking for a babysitter who can help us with camp
pickups and late afternoons for a few weeks this summer.
It's short-term, but we'd love to develop a relationship
with someone whom we could call in the future.
A little about us: we have three boys. They're almost 7,
almost 5, and 2.5. We live in Albany.
We need someone to pick up our older two kids at camp at 3pm
and the youngest at his nanny share at 3:30, then bring them
all back to our house for snacks, playing, etc… until we get
home at around 6pm. Because getting three carseats properly
installed is a challenge, we would ask the babysitter to use
our car. There are only four dates: Tuesday 7/30, Thursday
8/1, Tuesday 8/6, and Thursday 8/8. To get them comfortable
with someone new we'd probably schedule at least two
afternoons of care before then. We would like to find
someone who would be interested in potential future
babysitting as well.
First aid certification, a clean driving record, and
experience with kids are musts.

Alameda Nanny Share with a 16 month old? (Alameda)
-----------------------------------------------
Hi All. New Subscriber. I'm starting to look into potential
childcare from my daughter, starting in late August, who
will at that point be a bit over 16 months old.
I feel like a nanny share would be ideal, especially with a
child around the same age. Are there any current families in
the Alameda, or surrounding area, willing to share their
nanny? Or perhaps, willing to recruit a nanny with us for
this purpose?
Most likely, we'd be looking for someone to start early: 7-8
in the morning, and go til 4-5pm in the afternoon. If your
interested, email me, and we can chat about the usual
parenting philosophies and nanny preferences, to make sure
we're a good fit.
Thanks!

Seeking Spanish-Speaking Morning Nanny 3 Days/Week (Piedmont)

We are looking for a fantastic Spanish-speaking babysitter

nanny/babysitter/family helper to care for our twins three
mornings a week from 8:30 – 12:00 (the days and times are
somewhat flexible). We live in Piedmont near Grand Avenue
(not near a BART station).
The candidate must:
-- Be a fluent Spanish speaker, tenacious enough to speak
only Spanish with the twins. We’ve learned it is more
difficult to speak only Spanish with older kids who are
speaking back to you in English. This might be easier for
someone who is not fluent in English.
-- Be energetic, patient and kind but able to set firm
limits for normal five-year-olds.
-- Be willing to do other household tasks (such as tidying
the kitchen, folding clothes, putting away toys).
-- Be willing and able to pay taxes on earnings.
-- Maintain a working cell phone.

interested, we can give more info.

Parent with a nanny wants to share
================================
Please Join Our Wonderful Nanny Share (North Oakland/Rockridge/Bushrod)
-----------------------------------------------
We are looking for a family to share our wonderful Spanish speaking
nanny. She has 20 years of experience and came to us very
highly recommended. Our daughter lights up whenever she sees
her and they have a great routine going to the park once or
twice a day. We are looking for between 20 and 30 hours of share time
(30 hours max). Our daughter is 9.5 months old but would do best paired
with a baby a couple of months older (our last family had a
11+ month old and they were a great match).
We pay $12 per child.
(Note that we have tried to match her with a much younger baby and it is
too difficult for our nanny, so please respond only if your baby is of a
comparable age)
In case it is relevant for you, our house is about a 10 minute walk from
Ashby BART, 15 to Rockridge and there are no parking restrictions
(except cleaning once per month).
Please contact me if this sounds like it would work for you and your
family!

Seeking 18+ month year old to join nanny share (Temescal)
-----------------------------------------------
We have a sweet, devoted and fun-loving nanny for our 18
month old girl whom we are currently sharing with another
family. They will be sending their son to pre-school
starting in September. So we are looking for another child
to join our share then.
We live in Temescal, at 40th and Opal, and are happy to
host the share. Our schedule is M-Th 8 - 5:30. We'd prefer
a family to match those hours. I believe our nanny can also
be available on Fridays if that's desired.
She has been watching our daughter since she was 4 months
old, and loves to take her to local parks, playgrounds, and
the library. She teaches her vocabulary and songs. She was
recommended to us by another mother who had her raise both
of her children.

Nanny Share Opening (Maxwell Park/ Laurel/ Dimond )
-----------------------------------------------
We are looking for 2 great families to join our nanny share. Two of our kids are
heading off to preschool now, and there is space available for 2 babies/ toddlers
starting July and September. Hours are M-Thu 8:30am-5:30pm, with additional
hours on Friday if prearranged in advance. Share is located out of our homes.
We've been with our nanny, Darlene, for 2 years and absolutely love her. She has
an amazing heart for sensitive children, and is great with providing whatever
support and structure a baby or toddler needs. Her instinct about what each
different child needs, and how to manage temperments seems effortless. There
is no sleep challenge she can not master! She provides lots of warmth, loving
support, active play, reading, music, responsible caregiving, coordinated
scheduling, great communication, and is a truly generous spirit.
There are a maximum of 3 children in the share each day (currently in the share
are two 3 yr olds and a newborn starting soon). Costs are amazingly economical
($65/day + monthly share costs of about $25 to host family).
Please email me if looking for care beginning anytime from July 1st forward, and
include any specifics you are looking for as far as hours and days.
Thanks,
Honor

Opening in Nanny Share (Berkeley)
-----------------------------------------------
We have a wonderful Peruvian abuelita/nanny who will have
availability starting in June as 2 of our share kids head to
preschool. Gloria’s been with our share for over 6 yrs
(she's watched the older siblings of some of her current
charges), was a daycare assistant prior to working with us,
and had raised a number of kids – so she’s a bit of a ''child
whisperer” in our book! She is incredibly gentle and loving
and the kids adore her. Other Gloria perks (besides the LOVE
and care she provides) include:
• Cooking fresh meals for the kids (she provides a weekly
shopping list for us)
• Speaking and singing entirely in Spanish to the kids (but
speaks enough English to communicate with us about their
days)
• Keeping a detailed log book for us
• POTTYTRAINING!!!
• Daily crafts and educational activities (including
manners, safety, and exercises)
We are looking for another full-time or two part-time share
families to join the share with my 2 children ages 2 years
and 5 months.
Please contact me if you are interested or have questions.

9 month old son looking for a playmate (Montclair)
-----------------------------------------------
Our 9 month old son would like to find a playmate for our
nanny share. We have been working with our nanny since he was
3 months old. She has been wonderful with him. She takes him
to Lake Temescal each day to play with her group of friend’s
kids. She helps us a lot with his daily routine and makes
sure he has everything he needs. We also have two Siberian
huskies who are very friendly and great with children. The
nanny is great with dogs and we would like to share with a
family who is comfortable with them also. The nanny comes to
our house from 6:00am-4:30pm Monday – Thursday. She can also
work different hours and Fridays. We would like to switch
houses every week. Our house is small and is baby friendly.
Please contact me if you are interested and I can give you
more details. Thank you!!

Join our share with a fantastic nanny (Albany/El Cerrito border)
-----------------------------------------------
The older boy in the 2-child share is starting preschool, so we are
looking for a new family for our share starting in late June. The share is
currently 4 full days a week, and we have Karen on our own the 5th day. We are
open to the exact hours needed, but we would prefer close to full-time.
Karen is absolutely fantastic, comes highly recommended by every family she has
worked worth, and we feel is a great person for our child
to spend time with. She gets to know the child and allows them to be who they
are will providing a stimulating environment.
Our son will be ~18mo this summer, and we are open as to
the age of the other child (Karen started with us when he was 6mo) and the
location (right now we alternate houses by the week).

-----------------------------------------------
We are looking for a toddler to join our son in a summer
nanny share. We have an amazing nanny who is fabulous with
kids and has been watching our son (now 3 years old) in a
share for almost two years. The second child is starting
school, and we'd love a playmate for our son for July and August. If you

Maria is patient, creative, loving and a fabulous teacher.
She takes him to a range of toddler activities at the public
libraries, YMCA, Habitot, and parks. She is CPR certified and has a car.

three kids, and has glowing recommendations from all the
families she's worked with.
We are open to full or part time share. Cost is $11/hr per child.

Loving Nanny & Share Available (Lakeshore / Crocker / Piedmont)
-----------------------------------------------
We currently have a nanny who has been with us for over 2
years. She is originally from El Salvador, has a good grasp
of the English language and also speaks Spanish. We are
seeking another child to join our nanny share. We prefer to
host this share at our house and is walking distance to
several amenities, parks, library, lake, etc. as we live in
the Lakeshore/lower Piedmont area. She takes them to story
time at the library, the puppet show at Fairyland and play
time in the park. Our nanny is very attentive with the
children and interacts with them at many levels. Our kids
are excited to see her every day as she has a very loving
nature. She is extremely thoughtful and accommodating. Our
share has been Mon, Tues, Wed but she is also available
Thursdays and Fridays (either at our house or your house).
We are looking for a child to join our share from
approximately 9am-2:30pm Mon, Tues, Wed. The share rate is
$10 per child and $15 with no share. We are ready to begin
the nanny share in August, but this could be flexible.

Extraordinary Nanny Available for Share (Rockridge, Berkeley, Temescal, Albany, Kensington)
-----------------------------------------------
Our two-and-a-half-year-old daughter is starting pre-school
part-time in late August. Our wonderful nanny, Lhami, is
going to continue taking care of our daughter from about
12:30 to 5:30 Mon.-Fri. But her reduced hours with us means
that Lhami is available to work with another family in the
mornings, or to work in an afternoon share situation with
our daughter and another toddler.
I cannot say enough good things about Lhami. She has been
with our family for two years and has been a true partner
with my husband and me in raising our daughter. She's
originally from Nepal and has about 20 years of experience
as a nanny (as a result, she comes with loads of glowing
references from local families). She genuinely loves
children and couldn't be more attuned to their needs and
desires, and predictably, our daughter adores her.
Lhami speaks excellent English and she's all the things that
working parents need: reliable, flexible, smart, lively,
engaging, and just an all-around joy to have in your child's
life (and your life). I don't know what I would have done
without her these last two years.
If you're interested in a morning nanny, or a nanny share,
please contact me at allison...@gmail.com. We are open
to traveling to another family's home for a share, or
hosting at our home.

Looking for another 5 year old for summer adventur (South Berkeley)
-----------------------------------------------
Hello Parents,
I am looking for another 4-6 year old who wants to have some adventures with
my 5 year old son, part time for three weeks this summer. My son's camp ends
on July 19th and we need 3 weeks of part time childcare for him while I work.
He seems too young to just send him to multiple camps and so I thought that a
good babysitter and a fun friend would be a fun way to spend a few weeks.
Depending on if there is a car or not, they could go swimming, bike riding, take
the bus to the Lawrence Hall of Science and Tilden, and have more quiet time
doing art projects and dressing up in one of our houses.
If this sounds appealing to you, please email me.
Thanks
laura

Calm, centered nanny FT or PT (Oakland, Berkeley, Albany, El Cerrito, Richmond)
-----------------------------------------------
Our son's nanny, Fam Saelee, is looking for a new family
after almost three years with us (since our son was an
infant). Fam has years of experience and a patient, quiet
presence that gave my son a wonderful, secure, comforting
harbor. She loves everything that makes a kid happy: sitting
on her lap and active play and everything in between. I give
her credit for the fact that he's our ''happy guy.'' Our
older daughter (8YO) loves her, too.
Fam's values are in the right place, and it shows. She has a
long list of references and, before that, experience raising
her own children. She is completely punctual and reliable,
and at the same time she accommodated our schedule
adjustments (I'm a professor at Cal and often have meetings
that ran late). She is multilingual and totally comfortable
in English. Fam has a valid CA drivers license and a clean
driving record.
Fam can care for one children or several, newborn to
school-age. She's looking for PT or FT. You can reach her at
730-8172 or me at 861-5230.

Highly Recommended Nanny Available in Oakland (Oakland)
-----------------------------------------------
We have been part of a Nanny share (2 nannies,4 kids) for
the past 9 months, but our two oldest are starting school
later this month. Our second nanny, Man Saechao, will be
available for a new family. We have thoroughly enjoyed
having Man as a part of our families, and we highly
recommend her to anyone seeking care for their children.
Here are just a few things about Man that we experienced
over the past 9 months. She is completely reliable-never
missed a day of work and was never late. She has her own
car and has no problem driving the children to activities
like the park and zoo. She has excellent communication
skills (her English is fantastic). She has a calm nature
but a lot of energy, and has no problem keeping up with
babies and toddlers. Most importantly, she was able to
quickly bond with each of our four children.
Man is looking for part time or full time nanny
responsibilities preferably in the Oakland area. She
currently works for us in the Oakmore area, but would be
open to Alameda and Berkeley. She would like to start in
July,but can be flexible.

-----------------------------------------------
Our beloved nanny, Mulu, will be available for F/T or P/T care beginning in
July, when the little boy she's been caring for since he was 3 months old starts
preschool (our youngest in the share started preschool in May).
Mulu is an exceptional, energetic, amazingly loving, uber responsible and
trustworthy nanny who is a true gem and we can't recommend her highly
enough. She not only provides a safe, loving, nurturing environment, but she
is also constantly engaging the children in activities, play, reading, walks and
music. There hasn't been a day where she has sat still in the house while the
kids are up and active, even when it's pouring outside, and our children are
exceptionally happy, curious, active (and tan !) because of her boundless
energy, enthusiasm, and love. She brings 20+ years of experience with
newborns, toddlers, preschoolers, multiple infants, siblings, and preteens,
plus her own mommy mojo from raising 2 accomplished daughters on her
own. She has a clean driving record, owns her own car and is Trustline
certified.
She has years of glowing recommendations from every family she has worked
with and can be reached directly at 510-586-2972 or feel free to contact me

Area. She has been with our family for the past 6 months, taking care of our 1.5
year old son. My husband is temporarily away out of state and I am a working

whenever I need to work or travel out of state, including late nights and
weekends, even on short notices. In fact, she has stayed until 1-2 am at times
for me without any complaints. Meuy is very loving and attentive toward my son
and takes care of him as if he were her own. She is detail oriented and
communicates very well with me regarding any concerns she has for my son. She
does a wonderful job with bathing and feeding him. My son loves the healthy
smoothie she makes. She gives undivided attention to my son and taught him
well. My son has lots of fun with her. She is a very safe driver and is CPR

Morning, Evening and Weekend Nanny Available ((Montclair/Piedmont/Rockridge/N. Berkeley))
-----------------------------------------------
Parents,
With great pleasure I fully recommend Kristen Boyd as a
professional nanny and babysitter. I cannot say enough good
things about the care she is providing to my two children,
ages 6 and 4. She picks them up from school, takes them to
various activities, and then cares for them until my
husband or I return home.
One of Kristen's many strengths is her ability to
communicate. At the end of each day she provides a recap of
the day's events and any issues or challenges (big or
small) our kids happen to face. She has interest in the
children's thought processes and likes/dislikes in order to
learn how she can best accompany the family unit. She
performs light housekeeping, can cook meals, has her own
car, is flexible with scheduling, energetic, and always
maintains a positive attitude.
Kristen is educated, tremendously reliable, and I fully
trust that Kristen has the intelligence and intuition to
make the right choices. The comfort of knowing you have
someone you trust caring for your children while away from
them, is priceless.
Kristen is available Mondays, Weekends, and in the mornings
and evenings Tuesday - Friday. Her only restriction is that
she is allergic to cats (but dogs are fine).
Please contact she or I to discuss further.

Experienced, fun, sociable nanny, M/W, Sept. (Rockridge, North Oakland, South Berkeley)
-----------------------------------------------
Our nanny, Adriana, will be looking for new families this Sept. in a two-child,
part-time nannyshare: Mon. 10:00 am to 4:30 pm and Wed. 9:00am to
4:00pm.
Adriana is loving, thoughtful, conscientious, and has a great sense of humor.
She is fluent in Spanish, her English is strong, and she's current in First Aid
and CPR. Adriana has been caring for our two families' daughters since the
girls were 6 and 8 months old. It's Adriana's second ''generation'' with one of
our families, as she previously cared for an older sister starting in 2008.
The girls' days with Adriana include lots of time at the park, story-time at the
library, and playing and reading at home. They're always happy to see ''Ana''
in the morning, and naptimes, snacks, and meals are well-structured so that
the girls are well-fed and rested.
Adriana has a strong network of other nannies in our area, so our children
have enjoyed both the individualized attention of their own caregiver and the
social activity of playing with a regular group of children and nannies at local
parks.
If you're looking for a caregiver for Mondays and Wednesdays, we can't
recommend her enough!

Loving, Experienced Nanny Available in August (Berkeley and other locations)
-----------------------------------------------
Now that my daughter is in preschool, it is time for our
beloved nanny, Lupe, to find a new family who can benefit
from her special talents with children.
Lupe has been a wonderful addition to our family for the
past three years, and we feel truly blessed to have found
her. She provides excellent child care for our daughter.
She provides cuddles when needed, happily gets right down
on the floor to play, and helped immeasurably with getting
our daughter to take regular naps. Other moms frequently
tell me that how attentive she is with our daughter, and
how lucky we are to have found ''one of the good ones.''
It is so wonderful to come home from work to the sounds of
our daughter laughing and happy in Lupe's care. In
addition, Lupe cooks nutritious meals for our daughter.
Lupe is a native Spanish speaker, but also speaks English
fluently and has US citizenship. Lupe does not drive, but
is an expert with the local bus system. Our daughter
loved taking the bus to Habitot and other destinations.
Lupe can be available to start in August. Please contact
Lupe if you need a nanny for one child or a nanny share.
Her warmth, energy, and devotion to the children in her
care cannot be matched. In addition to Lupe, you can also
contact me at t_st...@yahoo.com.

Gentle, Kind and Responsible Nanny Available (Oakland, Berkeley, El Cerrito)
-----------------------------------------------
We're moving out of state and so our beloved nanny Alicia is looking for a new
family. She's been wonderful with our 9-month old son - extremely gentle,
calm and loving, while also stimulating him with games and lots of
conversation. Alicia has also watched our toddler daughter some mornings
before preschool and is great with that age too. She's incredibly responsible
(never once arriving late, notwithstanding the 7:30 am start time!), kind, loving,
and just a wonderful person to have in our family. We will miss her terribly.
Alicia's first language is Spanish though her English is quite good. She would
like a full-time position, accessible via public transportation, hopefully for more
than one child. I should add that before us she worked for many, many years
for the same set of families in a share situation, and they adored her too.
Please email me if you want to know more, or contact her through her daughter
Geovana at 510-383-0897.

Exceptionally Fabulous Nanny (Oakland/BART-accessible SF and Berkeley)
-----------------------------------------------
We have moved and are hoping to help find a loving family
for our wonderful nanny of over 5-1/2 years. Patty is a rare
find with 20+ yrs of experience as a nanny for newborns,
toddlers and young children and as a school teacher before
that. Patty is college-educated and has been a very
reliable, responsible, highly skilled, honest, loving and
attentive caregiver, teacher and friend to our sons since
they were newborns. Other parents have marveled about how
great she is with our kids. She is very insightful about
each child. She has never missed a day of work and is very
organized and punctual. Patty is exceptionally resourceful
and proactive in finding enriching activities for children
and in getting them to eat the healthy balanced meals that
she prepares. Our sons are very happily engaged and well-
behaved with her -- we wish we knew her secret! She speaks
Spanish natively and English fluently and has taught our
children Spanish at our request. She does not drive but
easily gets around with public transportation. Patty has an
excellent track record with several Bay Area families (each
of whom she worked with at least 4-5 years, which speaks
volumes). We highly recommend Patty -- you will be lucky to

Our AMAZING Nanny Needs a New Family - Aug (Oakland/Berkeley/El Cerrito)
-----------------------------------------------
Our little one is starting preschool in Sept, and we, sadly, need to say
goodbye to our wonderful nanny. She worked with us FT for 1 year and is
truly a remarkable person. She is loving, nurturing and has endless
patience with our girls. Our neighbors often saw her in the park, and tell
us what a great job she's doing. She engages children at their level in
educational activities and play. Our daughters thrived in her care. She
worked for us in a share arrangement, and is exceptional at managing
more than one child. She cared for our younger daughter FT (now 2) but
also picked up our older daughter from school (now 4), and watched both
girls after school.
More about her:
-Very hardworking and reliable. Never showed up late or called in sick.
-Flexible about shifting hours for date nights!
-15+ years of experience caring for multiple babies & kids of all ages
-Very energetic. Loves taking kids out to the parks, zoo, etc
-Light housework, kids rooms, dishes, laundry
-Great cook! Our daughter loves fried rice & stirfry noodles!
We could not recommend her more highly. She is available late Aug &
looking for a FT position (~40 hrs) - share or single child. She can
provide multiple (impeccable) references.

lucky to have her.

weekends. She is punctual, reliable, and responsible. She is very experience and
knowledgeable about childcare and has taught my son (and me!) very well. She
taught my son sign language, introduce us to various parks/child activities in the
east bay, and set up play dates for my son on her own with my permissions. She
has great patience for and is quick witted to deal with a (sometimes) cranky
child. She genuinely loves the children under her care. She is extremely caring
towards my son but does not spoil our son. She is a very safe driver and is CPR

Wonderful nanny has opening for new family! (Berkeley/Albany/El Cerrito/Richmond)
-----------------------------------------------
Justina has worked for my family for almost 2 years and works for several other
families too, some of them for 6+ years. She is fabulous! She takes a genuine
interest in the kids she watches; she doesn't just care for them, she really plays
with them too. She loves to run kids around at the park, take them on outings,
etc. She is 100% capable and reliable. She's great with babies and older kids alike
and is experienced watching multiple kids at one time.
Justina doesn't only clean up, she cleans too. If she has extra time, she'll cook,
do laundry, etc.
My toddler will be starting preschool, so starting Aug 1, Justina will have
mornings and some full days available for a lucky new family.
I can honestly say that I cannot recommend Justina highly enough. She has been
my right-hand woman, and I'm sad to not be able to use her as much now. She
speaks English and Spanish. She does not drive, but she loves to walk & be
active. She does a lot of walking (with strollers) with my kids. When necessary,
she'll take kids on the bus, BART, etc, too. I even had another nanny tell me how
lucky I am to have Justina because ''she really pays attention to the kids.''

Loving,supportive, kind and thoughtful nanny (Berkeley, N Oakland, Albany, Richmond, El Ceritto)
-----------------------------------------------
Daniella has been working with our son & baby twins for the
last six month. She brings years of experience with infants
& toddlers. D. is creative & energetic with my 5 year-old,
respectful of his opinions but firm about our rules. She
has been very sensitive toward his feelings about the new
addition of twins into our family and thoughtful about ways
to make him feel important and included. Our babies adore
her. During the time she has cared for them, she has made a
significant connection with each baby. She pays particular
attention to their individual needs and developmental
stages. There is no separation anxiety when I leave the
babies with D. Their faces light up when she arrives. D.
makes a concerted effort to communicate with my husband & I
about how the day went. She is very respectful of our
values, supports our needs as a family & easy to get along
with. Having D. in our lives has really helped us with the
transition from one child to three children. I would
recommend her to families with a single child as well as
twins. I feel very lucky to have found a nanny who is as
loving,supportive, kind and thoughtful as her. D. is
available for additional 10-15 hours per week. She is
seeking a warm & communicative family to work with. Please
contact her directly. Thank you.

-----------------------------------------------
HONEST, RELIABLE, LOVING NANNY AVAILABLE:
I am posting this add on behalf of our dear nanny of five
years, Jenny. Unfortunately, our needs our changing and we
no longer need a full time nanny. She has been a nanny for
upwards of 30 years. Jenny is a loving, punctual, reliable
nanny and particularly great with newborn babies. She is a
very nurturing nanny. Our daughters are very well
adjusted, independent, healthy girls having spent time with
Jenny. Jenny is a great mother’s helper too. She is
incredibly hard working. Jenny is English speaking (she
knows a tiny bit of Spanish having grown up in Honduras)
and does not drive. It would be preferable if her next job
was close to public transportation. She lives near Lake
Merritt and is excellent with the bus system. She is also
in fantastic shape and walks all over town. Jenny is
active with the Oakland police department, volunteering her
time to help maintain their memorial wall, and has been
recognized many times for her generous time donations.

*AMAZING* Tibetan nanny avail July 1st (Berkeley/Rockridge/El Cerrito/ Richmond/Piedmont)
-----------------------------------------------
We are moving and are so sad to have to give up our AMAZING Tibetan nanny
Tsomo. She has been so loving to our son and genuinely cares deeply for
him. I can see in the little things (always making sure his hands are wiped,
clean face, she brings him yummy Tibetan food, lots of hugs and games) and
in the big things (she started potty training him since he was interested in her
daughter using the potty, has taught him how to share and be kind to others,
has worked with him to be patience, take turns and listen to others). I really
feel she is the next best thing to me being there and on some days even
better, lol!
She brings her 2.5yr daughter with her to our house and charges us a
modified share rate. She is open to full or part time. She can do single or
share care as her daughter will soon be going into preschool.
Tsomo is a certified nurse in Tibet and has nannied in the US for more than 7
years. Her excellent care speaks for itself but I love that my son wakes up
every morning and asks ''Tsomo time?'' and I don't have to feel guilty going to
work. She can start July 1st or sooner.

Our wonderful nanny seeks childcare work Sept. (North Oakland, South Berkeley)
-----------------------------------------------
Our wonderful nanny, Koy Saelee, is looking for childcare work starting this
September. Koy has been the nanny for our son and his friend Lulu for the past
year, 3 days a week, 8 hours a day. She started caring for them when they were
15 months old; both are going to pre-school full-time this fall. We will have Koy
continue to babysit for us on an as-needed basis, because she's fantastic and
our son loves her.
Koy is incredibly nurturing and loving, and is constantly attentive in a kind and
patient manner. She plays games, sings songs, reads aloud, and takes the kids
to a lovely little park every day where they see the same cohort.
Koy has raised 6 children of her own, and cared for several others as a nanny,
including one for a year, and a brother and sister for 5 years. She continues to
babysit for these families as well. We have met Koy's extended family on several
occasions; she is really a part of our family and us a part of hers.
Koy is always on time, and has always been flexible whenever we've needed her
to be. She sometimes surprises us by cooking for us, just because.
We recommend Koy as a nanny very highly, and would love to help her find
another family to work with.

Flor: A Warm & Nurturing Nanny seeking FT M-F (Rockridge, Montclair, Berkeley, Oakland, Alameda)
-----------------------------------------------
Our nanny Flor is seeking a new family to support as our son begins
Kindergarten in the fall. Her availability can be sooner than September.
Flor has been a nurturing, supportive, patient and dependable caregiver and will
be greatly missed. She is seeking another full time position, preferably for a
family with infants and/or toddlers.
Flor contributed consistently to our son’s early years of development, as well as
his later educational growth, which included various types of outings. She has
imaginatively guided him to securely navigate his new, exciting and ever
expanding world. In addition, Flor prepares his meals and does some laundry.
She always stays busy in our home, shows up to work on time, rarely if ever
missing a day. There is no question of her honesty and integrity.
Flor has been a nanny for ten years. Prior to us, she worked for a family in
Berkeley who were sorry to lose her. She comes from a family of nannies, with
four sisters caring for children in the area. She speaks Spanish and reads and
speaks English very well. She is also a mother of three.
We would love to see her connect with a new family, creating her singular magic
for some very special and lucky children.

Our wonderful Nanny needs a New Family (El Cerrito, Albany, Berkeley, Oakland)
-----------------------------------------------
We have had a wonderful nanny for the last 18 months who
has taken care of our daughter since she was 4 months
old. It is time for our daughter to move on to a
preschool setting so we'd like to help our nanny find a
new family starting in August. Although our daughter
still cannot put together full sentences to tell us what
they do every day, it is obvious that she loves Maria
Elena as she lights up and makes crazy funny noises of
excitement when Maria Elena comes to our house each day.
We also know they spend a lot of time outside at the park,
walking around the neighborhood, dancing, listening to
music, and playing with our daughter's favorite puzzles.
For almost a year, we have also shared Maria Elena with
another family twice a week but that family is also
sending their child to preschool in August. So she will
be completely available and I am sure she would be willing
to entertain nanny-share opportunities as well as single
family options. Please feel free to contact me if you
want more information.

well taken care of AND learn Spanish, Clelia is the nanny for you. (p.s. She

Clelia is willing to work with one child or two. Speaking from experience, she
is GREAT with two kids so if you have a family to do a nanny share with, you
should contact us!

family/families. Share cost is $11/hour per child and $16/hour for one child.

Highly Experienced, Loving FT Nanny Avail. Sept 1 (Oakland/Berkeley/Other East Bay)
-----------------------------------------------
Our beloved nanny Feuy is available Sept 1 as our twins
start school this fall. She has over 15 years' experience,
is CPR certified and drives. She has been with us since the
boys were 2 months. She does so much to make our lives
easier, keep the boys safe and well cared for, but what I
appreciate most is she genuinely loves our boys and treats
them like her own. She fills the day with engaging
activities and ensures they're well-rested and nutritiously
fed. They go for daily walks and trips to the park. She
introduces them to new things, shows them how to accomplish
tasks and encourages their creativity. As our boys have
matured, we see what a positive influence she has had on
them. As a working mom, she gives me such peace of mind.
She'll text me pictures and videos, makes meals for the
boys, does their laundry and cleans up after them. She knows
and respects boundaries but shares suggestions when asked.
I've never seen her get flustered. She handled our fussy
preemies with gastric reflux with ease and grace. We will be
sad not to see Feuy on a daily basis but we know she'll
always be part of our lives. Feuy is looking for a full time
position, preferably with twins or in a nanny share, but she
is open. If you are interested, please email me at

Warm, Responsible, and Playful Nanny: FT/PT (East Bay/San Francisco)
-----------------------------------------------
We are moving out of the area, and our wonderful Brazilian
nanny is looking for a lucky family to work with. Aline has
been taking care of my toddler since January 2013. She is
warm and loving, energetic and creative. My daughter greets
her eagerly each day, and it's clear that Aline has made a
true connection with her. My older children (8 & 5) love
her too: she's been great with them on the occasions when
she's had all three. Aline is extremely helpful around the
house with laundry and dishes: she looks for ways to help me
during naptime, so we always come home to a cleaner and more
organized house. If you are looking for full-time or
part-time childcare during the day, or if you are looking
for help in the evenings or weekends, please consider Aline.

Great Nanny available in August (Montclair, Oakland, Rockridge)
-----------------------------------------------
B has been with us for 3.5 yrs. She started with our daughter at 3 months until
she went to preschool. Then we had our son and she's been with him since
birth. We are sad to see her go but our son is starting preschool in August. She
will always remain a part of our family. B is like a sister to me and a guardian to
our children. She is warm, compassionate and caring. She has the biggest heart
and truly LOVES the children she cares for. B has gone on trips with our family
and has taken the kids for overnight stays. In 3.5 years she has NEVER been late
and has only had 2 sick days. She is responsible, reliable and flexible. When I
need her in a pinch, she is always there. She has 3 children of her own (2 out of
college 1 still in). Her wealth of knowledge is priceless and so helpful when I
was a new mom. B is very active with the kiddos - taking them to gymbo,
fairyland, studio grow and the park but ensures they are home in time for nap -
she plans the day around the child's schedule. I only have a limited amount of
space here, but I can fill a book with her abilities and love for children. Please
contact me if you are interested in meeting B, you won't be disappointed! Just
last week, a mom at gymbo stopped me to tell me how wonderful she is with
our son.

Loving, trustworthy FT nanny available in Sept (Oakland,S.Berkeley, Alameda,Emeryville,
SanLeandro)
-----------------------------------------------
Yien has been our nanny as part of a nanny share for the
past 15 months. Soon I will be going out on maternity
leave, and our nanny-share partner will begin preschool in
September. Yien is tb negative, CPR certified, and has a
clean CA driver's record. We highly recommend Yien. She
has a relaxed confidence with children that was really
reassuring to me as a first time mom. When she started
watching my daughter (who was 4 months at the time), we had
not yet figured out a nap schedule. Yien had my daughter on
a nap schedule within a week or two. She kept a log for us
stating the times of each nap, as well as diaper changes,
etc. It was helpful in the beginning, and now we just
handle the updates verbally each evening. My daughter
absolutely lights up every morning when she sees Yien, and
talks about Yien quite a bit at home. Yien has tremendous
experience with children, having nannied for years, and
also having several children and grandchildren of her own.
She listens to direction when I have something I want done
in a specific way. If there is a concern that is new to me,
Yien also has suggestions on how to move forward. She is
always on time. She has covered for us when we’ve had to be
home late, and has babysat for us on nights and weekends.
Please contact me with any inquiries.

Spanish speaking nanny recommended (Berkeley, Albany, El Cerrito)
-----------------------------------------------
I am writing to recommend Yessica for part time or full time
care. Yessica has years of experience in childcare and as a
mother. You can tell that she loves working with children
and takes classes to further her knowledge. Yessica has a
gentle and enthusiastic voice even when redirecting my kids
or resolving disagreements. She chooses creative activities
to keep them busy during the day such as artwork and ''field
trips'' within the neighborhood.
Yessica primarily speaks Spanish, but is learning English
and can read books to my kids in English. Yessica knows how
to establishe a routine/schedule for multiple children and
handle busy households with ease. At the end of the day, my
kids have been well fed, had opportunities for exercise and
fresh air, and learned pre-school readiness skills. Yessica
is wonderful with my baby too. She knows how to encourage
his muscle development and vocabulary. My home is tidy when
I come home and she does light cleaning. Yessica has a car
and is a safe driver.

child and another child are ready for preschool this summer and fall, so the

Openings at Diana's Play House (Oakland--Crocker Highlands )
-----------------------------------------------
We've had nothing but absolutely positive experiences while our daughter
has been under Diana's care. She has been with Diana since 2011, and
though she's definitely excited to start preschool in September, I have no
doubt she'll miss Diana and her friends at the playhouse immensely.
Diana brings with her not only a wealth of experience from working with
children at the playhouse, but also as a mom of three boys. From the first
day our daughter started at Diana's, we had no doubt that she would be
safe and happy. She looks forward to going to Diana's each morning, and
is always excited at the end of the day to talk about everything she did. Of
the many things we appreciate about Diana, we've found her super
responsive and communicative; she holds our daughter's well-being and
happiness at the center of our interactions. Diana lets children's interests
inform the day, and infuses puzzles, music, art projects, walks, outdoor
play, cooking, and imaginative play into each day. Added bonus-she
provides healthy, organic snacks and lunch!

Bilingual Mandarin Home Daycare in Oakland (Dimond/Lower Hills/Sequoia Elementary/Head Royce)
-----------------------------------------------
My wonderful daycare provider, Julia Hom, has openings for
an infant or toddler now and for Fall 2013. Her daycare is
in her home, off Lincoln Avenue above MacArthur near Sequoia
Elementary School.
My 2 year old daughter has been going to Julia's since she
was 4 months old. I am a first-time parent and have been
very happy with her care there. Julia is extremely reliable
and capable, and cares very much for the kids. Her home is
cheerful and has lots of areas for the kids to play. She
keeps the home extremely clean.
She has lots of books and toys for the kids to play with,
provides reading and music time, and provides outside play
and home-cooked meals and snacks. Julia is warm and loving
and patient with the children. Julia has been providing
daycare for the past 20 years. She also speaks both Mandarin
and English. My husband and I do not speak Mandarin, but our
2 year old now understands and speaks a little!
When our daughter was a baby we used cloth diapers and Julia
had no problem with that. We also used some EC methods and
sign language for early potty training and Julia was willing
to help with that, too.
I would highly recommend Julia to anyone looking for a small
family daycare! Julia's house is truly our daughter's
second home. Terri

International Children's House in Upper Rockridge. My son

second home to them. An experienced Montessori educator,
Jenny provides a preschool curriculum in addition to the
daycare. The children learn by doing and playing in a warm
and nurturing environment. In keeping with the Montessori
philosophy, the younger children learn from older children
and older children reinforce their own learning by
teaching mastered concepts to the younger ones. Feel free

Affordable, Cozy Family Daycare near Grand Lake (Grand Lake/Piedmont Border)
-----------------------------------------------
I recommend Binh Nguyen & her high quality, affordable
family daycare located just off Grand Ave in Oakland (near
Ace). Binh & her assistant have cared for my daughter
since she was 5 mo old. (She’s now 21 mo). She cared for
my friend’s little girl for 1.5 yrs & came highly
recommended. One of the best aspects is the low child to
provider ratio (2:1). They only take 4 kids max & only
infants up to 2 yrs old. Binh operates in Vietnamese &
English. Hours are 8:00 am-5:00 pm, Mon-Fri.
Binh provides a wonderful environment in her bright, sunny
home. The day care area is very clean with hardwood
floors (w/ mats) & lots of windows. They take the kids
out in the back for fresh air daily. They are loving,
attentive, and my daughter smiles happily every morning
when we arrive. Scheduled naps are part of the routine,
and they can help your child get used to a regular naptime
if s/he doesn’t have one yet! Your child will be loved,
clean, well cared for, and happy at the end of the day.

Check out The School on the Hill (El Cerrito, Albany, Richmond, Kensington)
-----------------------------------------------
My child's former teacher, Richard Sugerman, recently
opened a daycare, The School on the Hill (www.tsoth.org).
Based on what I experienced of him and his teaching, it's
bound to be a terrific place.
Mr. Sugerman was a caring, funny, completely engaged
teacher. He connected with all the different types of
kids in the diverse public school class and brought out
the best in each of them. He encouraged them to ask
questions and to reason their way to answers. He showed
the students how to be confident in themselves and how to
support each other. In his class, the students blossomed
socially, as well as academically.
I know that Mr. Sugerman will bring all his experience and
skill in working with kids to his new venture. Anyone
looking for a daycare or preschool in the area should be
sure to give him a call and check out The School on the
Hill.

Little Red Wagon is a great daycare (El Cerrito)
-----------------------------------------------
I found the Little Red Wagon when I started searching for a
part-time daycare for my daughter when she was about a year
old. Not only did I send my daughter there until she moved on
to preschool, but now I send my baby boy. I've been able to
get part-time, full-time, and drop-in hours depending on what
I needed, often with very little notice.
It is a great place. The kids are in such good hands with
Atcha, who is just amazing. She seems completely tireless,
but is so warm and sweet to everyone (including tired
parents!). The school is very cozy and inviting, and the kids
get homemade food every day. I could go on about the great
playspace in the backyard, all the wonderful teachers, and how
well the children play and learn together, but basically, I
can't recommend Little Red Wagon highly enough... it is a
wonderful place for kids.

Opening at Green Day Care (El Cerrito,Albany,Berkeley,Kensington,Richmond )
-----------------------------------------------
Opening at Green Day Care (EC Bart/Plaza)
Our son absolutely loved his time at Tsering's daycare. He
was in daycare for about 18 months and is now moving on to
preschool. What we will remember most is all the fun songs
he learned and would sing to us later at home. He learned a
lot of phrases too, like 'it's puzzle time everyone' and
likes to say them at home now.
Tsering teaches some sign language to the little ones too,
which helped my son to communicate early on. He still uses
the sign for 'more, more'. Recently, my son had started
potty training and Tsering was very willing to help (she had
good advice for us too).
Tsering is very gentle and respecting of the child's
feelings. We can tell how much the children have enjoyed
their day when we visit at pick-up time.
About the daycare: It is kept very clean and there are many
activities for the children, including painting and water
activities. There is a huge outdoor play area with both
shade and sun. Tsering and her husband are always looking
for new ways to improve the daycare environment too.
We strongly recommend Tsering's daycare and there is now an
opening. For a visit, contact Tsering @ 510-610-1711 or

Nanny available full or part time Mon-Fri (Berkeley/Oakland/Albany)
-----------------------------------------------
Hello!
My name is Julia, I was born and raised in Berkeley and am planning on being
here for at least a couple more years. For the past 8 months, I was the nanny
of four 2 year olds (having two a day). I learned so much from this experience
and would very much like to continue nannying. Before that, I worked at a
preschool with children ages 6 months-5 years.
I am a very fun loving person and think that routine and schedules as well as
fantastic art/learning projects are so great for kids. I believe in routines
because I think it makes children feel safe and therefore have the confidence
to explore and learn new things. I also love taking kids out to the park or zoo,
library, etc.
I am available Monday-Friday from 8-6 with some flexibility on hours.
Thank you for your time!

younger kids between 3 months to 5 years old. I also have
experience working with middle and high school age students
in various arts education programs.
I have worked with siblings and in share-care arrangements.
I am comfortable driving with kids, have a clean driving
record and know many fun ''hot spots'' for kids in the Bay
Area. I am more than happy to combine nannying with some
light housekeeping and errand running.
I love being around children and being a part of a child's
life and being present for their various exciting stages of
learning about the world. Nanny jobs are a wonderful way to
learn about child development and bond with kids before I am
ready to have my own.
I will provide references upon request and am available for
background check if desired.
I am available for occasional and/or part-time work during
the summer and beyond. My rate is $18-$20. Please be in
touch if you are looking for a nanny and think we may be a
good fit!

Amazing nanny seeking FT position (San Francisco)
-----------------------------------------------
Our former nanny is seeking a FT position, including share,
in SF. Kenia is truly wonderful. She was our son’s nanny
for more than two years and we love her. She stopped caring
for our son more than two years ago, but he still talks
about her all the time. Kenia is gentle, fun and has a
great way with children. My son always slept more, ate more
and complained less with her. The other parents who have
employed her say the same.
Kenia took the kids to the park, the library, the zoo, the
carousel downtown. When we got home from work, she always
had stories about them and the funny things they did that
day. She frequently took photos and sent them to us
throughout the day.
Kenia prepares meals and does light cleaning and laundry
while the children nap. I realize this isn't the main
qualification for a nanny, but she has been a joy to
interact with and we have remained friends.
Kenia's first language is Spanish, but her English is good.
She does not drive, but is great with the public
transportation system. She is extremely flexible, always
willing to work late or arrive early at the last minute.
And I trust her implicitly.

techniques to enable your child too successfully reach goals like weaning, eating
healthy and safely, walking, napping, potty training and safety. I am a firm
believer in behavioral boundaries and routines.

Wonderful nanny available! (El Cerrito, Albany, Berkeley, Oakland)
-----------------------------------------------
Our wonderful nanny/mother's helper will be looking for a new family to
work with starting in July. I will be at home full-time, so we won't be able to
afford to keep her, though we would love to continue having her help!
Her name is Dolma. She is Tibetan, but grew up mainly in India. She helps
with everything: taking care of the baby (feeding, cooking, cleaning,
bathing, napping, playing), the house (laundry, dishes, sweeping,
vacuuming), and is even helping us through a very difficult time with my
mom on hospice here at home (bathing, cooking). She is a Certified Nurse
Assistant and has three kids of her own, so whether it's taking care of
babies or older kids, helping around the house, or care for the elderly, she
is incredibly capable. She is kind, smart, accommodating, trustworthy, and
very thorough. Through these past few stressful months, she has been an
incredible, solid support for our family and especially our baby. We feel
incredibly lucky to have had her working in our home.
I'm happy to answer any questions you may have about my experience:
saila...@gmail.com. You can also contact Dolma directly at

Wonderful Nanny Available 9/2 for Part-time Care (Albany/El Cerrito)

Our wonderful nanny is looking for a new family to work with in addition to ours.
She is truly wonderful with our 22 month old boy who she has been caring for
since he was 5 months old. Very loving, nurturing, experienced, reliable and
trustworthy woman. Her gentle, loving presence is a great strength, in addition
to the tremendous love and care that goes into her work. I trust her
wholeheartedly and our son adores her. Awesome with naps, feedings and
quality playtime. She also helps with laundry, dishes and general clean up
during naps. Beginning September 2nd, she will be available Tuesday-Friday for
part time care in the morning (until about 1pm) and potentially a share with our
family (2-6pm). Our son will be 2 yrs old at this time, so a child similar in age is
preferred. Must be located very close to Albany/El Cerrito area as she does not
drive. Contact Emily for more info.

Former Preschool Teacher Available (Albany, El Cerrito, Berkeley, Rockridge, Oakland)

Hello Parents,
Having had my own son two years ago, I was away from the
nanny world for the past three years. But now I am back and
looking for a nanny/babysitter position.
I'm an experienced and compassionate nanny.
I'm kind, caring, energetic and resourceful. I know many
songs and activities for children having worked at
preschools. I can do arts and crafts with your child and
play at playgrounds and have fun!
In addition to my about five years of experience taking care
of children as young as newborns and as old as four years
old both for families and at preschools, I had completed
coursework in early childhood education. I am CPR certified
and have excellent references from local parents!
In addition to English I also speak Russian. Unfortunately,
or fortunately, I don't drive , but can ride my bike or
take a bus.
Currently I am taking temporary full time care of a two year
old boy in Emeryville. But will be available to start at my
new place at the beginning of July full or part time.
I am looking forward to hearing from you.
Thank you!

Seeking Afternoon Babysitter (Albany)
-----------------------------------------------
We're looking for a babysitter who can help us with camp
pickups and late afternoons for a few weeks this summer.
It's short-term, but we'd love to develop a relationship
with someone whom we could call in the future.
A little about us: we have three boys. They're almost 7,
almost 5, and 2.5. We live in Albany.
We need someone to pick up our older two kids at camp at 3pm
and the youngest at his nanny share at 3:30, then bring them
all back to our house for snacks, playing, etc… until we get
home at around 6pm. Because getting three carseats properly
installed is a challenge, we would ask the babysitter to use
our car. There are only four dates: Tuesday 7/30, Thursday
8/1, Tuesday 8/6, and Thursday 8/8. To get them comfortable
with someone new we'd probably schedule at least two
afternoons of care before then. We would like to find
someone who would be interested in potential future
babysitting as well.
First aid certification, a clean driving record, and
experience with kids are musts.

Alameda Nanny Share with a 16 month old? (Alameda)
-----------------------------------------------
Hi All. New Subscriber. I'm starting to look into potential
childcare from my daughter, starting in late August, who
will at that point be a bit over 16 months old.
I feel like a nanny share would be ideal, especially with a
child around the same age. Are there any current families in
the Alameda, or surrounding area, willing to share their
nanny? Or perhaps, willing to recruit a nanny with us for
this purpose?
Most likely, we'd be looking for someone to start early: 7-8
in the morning, and go til 4-5pm in the afternoon. If your
interested, email me, and we can chat about the usual
parenting philosophies and nanny preferences, to make sure
we're a good fit.
Thanks!

She still naps and is a very good sleeper. She is bi-lingual

Seeking Spanish-Speaking Morning Nanny 3 Days/Week (Piedmont)

We are looking for a fantastic Spanish-speaking babysitter
for our five-year-old twins, who will be starting afternoon
kindergarten in late August. We are looking for a
nanny/babysitter/family helper to care for our twins three
mornings a week from 8:30 – 12:00 (the days and times are
somewhat flexible). We live in Piedmont near Grand Avenue
(not near a BART station).
The candidate must:
-- Be a fluent Spanish speaker, tenacious enough to speak
only Spanish with the twins. We’ve learned it is more
difficult to speak only Spanish with older kids who are
speaking back to you in English. This might be easier for
someone who is not fluent in English.
-- Be energetic, patient and kind but able to set firm
limits for normal five-year-olds.
-- Be willing to do other household tasks (such as tidying
the kitchen, folding clothes, putting away toys).
-- Be willing and able to pay taxes on earnings.
-- Maintain a working cell phone.

Seeking Part-time After-school Care (Rockridge)
-----------------------------------------------
Starting in August we are looking for help picking up our 2
1/2 year old girl from school, starting dinner and bath and
helping get her ready for bed. Hours are part-time and
flexible but we would ideally like 3-4 days a week from
4-8pm. The school is a short walk from our home so a car is
not a necessity. She is a fun, easy going and energetic
toddler. This would be perfect for students or anyone
wishing to work part-time in the late afternoons.

Parent with a nanny wants to share
================================
Please Join Our Wonderful Nanny Share (North Oakland/Rockridge/Bushrod)
-----------------------------------------------
We are looking for a family to share our wonderful Spanish speaking
nanny. She has 20 years of experience and came to us very
highly recommended. Our daughter lights up whenever she sees
her and they have a great routine going to the park once or
twice a day. We are looking for between 20 and 30 hours of share time
(30 hours max). Our daughter is 9.5 months old but would do best paired
with a baby a couple of months older (our last family had a
11+ month old and they were a great match).
We pay $12 per child.
(Note that we have tried to match her with a much younger baby and it is
too difficult for our nanny, so please respond only if your baby is of a
comparable age)
In case it is relevant for you, our house is about a 10 minute walk from
Ashby BART, 15 to Rockridge and there are no parking restrictions
(except cleaning once per month).
Please contact me if this sounds like it would work for you and your
family!

Seeking 18+ month year old to join nanny share (Temescal)
-----------------------------------------------
We have a sweet, devoted and fun-loving nanny for our 18
month old girl whom we are currently sharing with another
family. They will be sending their son to pre-school
starting in September. So we are looking for another child
to join our share then.
We live in Temescal, at 40th and Opal, and are happy to
host the share. Our schedule is M-Th 8 - 5:30. We'd prefer
a family to match those hours. I believe our nanny can also
be available on Fridays if that's desired.
She has been watching our daughter since she was 4 months
old, and loves to take her to local parks, playgrounds, and
the library. She teaches her vocabulary and songs. She was
recommended to us by another mother who had her raise both
of her children.

Nanny Share Opening (Maxwell Park/ Laurel/ Dimond )
-----------------------------------------------
We are looking for 2 great families to join our nanny share. Two of our kids are
heading off to preschool now, and there is space available for 2 babies/ toddlers
starting July and September. Hours are M-Thu 8:30am-5:30pm, with additional
hours on Friday if prearranged in advance. Share is located out of our homes.
We've been with our nanny, Darlene, for 2 years and absolutely love her. She has
an amazing heart for sensitive children, and is great with providing whatever
support and structure a baby or toddler needs. Her instinct about what each
different child needs, and how to manage temperments seems effortless. There
is no sleep challenge she can not master! She provides lots of warmth, loving
support, active play, reading, music, responsible caregiving, coordinated
scheduling, great communication, and is a truly generous spirit.
There are a maximum of 3 children in the share each day (currently in the share
are two 3 yr olds and a newborn starting soon). Costs are amazingly economical
($65/day + monthly share costs of about $25 to host family).
Please email me if looking for care beginning anytime from July 1st forward, and
include any specifics you are looking for as far as hours and days.
Thanks,
Honor

Opening in Nanny Share (Berkeley)
-----------------------------------------------
We have a wonderful Peruvian abuelita/nanny who will have
availability starting in June as 2 of our share kids head to
preschool. Gloria’s been with our share for over 6 yrs
(she's watched the older siblings of some of her current
charges), was a daycare assistant prior to working with us,
and had raised a number of kids – so she’s a bit of a ''child
whisperer” in our book! She is incredibly gentle and loving
and the kids adore her. Other Gloria perks (besides the LOVE
and care she provides) include:
• Cooking fresh meals for the kids (she provides a weekly
shopping list for us)
• Speaking and singing entirely in Spanish to the kids (but
speaks enough English to communicate with us about their
days)
• Keeping a detailed log book for us
• POTTYTRAINING!!!
• Daily crafts and educational activities (including
manners, safety, and exercises)
We are looking for another full-time or two part-time share
families to join the share with my 2 children ages 2 years
and 5 months.
Please contact me if you are interested or have questions.

kids. She helps us a lot with his daily routine and makes
sure he has everything he needs. We also have two Siberian
huskies who are very friendly and great with children. The
nanny is great with dogs and we would like to share with a
family who is comfortable with them also. The nanny comes to
our house from 6:00am-4:30pm Monday – Thursday. She can also
work different hours and Fridays. We would like to switch
houses every week. Our house is small and is baby friendly.

The older boy in the 2-child share is starting preschool, so we are
looking for a new family for our share starting in late June. The share is
currently 4 full days a week, and we have Karen on our own the 5th day. We are

are will providing a stimulating environment.

nanny share. We have an amazing nanny who is fabulous with
kids and has been watching our son (now 3 years old) in a

Loving Nanny & Share Available (Lakeshore / Crocker / Piedmont)
-----------------------------------------------
We currently have a nanny who has been with us for over 2
years. She is originally from El Salvador, has a good grasp
of the English language and also speaks Spanish. We are
seeking another child to join our nanny share. We prefer to
host this share at our house and is walking distance to
several amenities, parks, library, lake, etc. as we live in
the Lakeshore/lower Piedmont area. She takes them to story
time at the library, the puppet show at Fairyland and play
time in the park. Our nanny is very attentive with the
children and interacts with them at many levels. Our kids
are excited to see her every day as she has a very loving
nature. She is extremely thoughtful and accommodating. Our
share has been Mon, Tues, Wed but she is also available
Thursdays and Fridays (either at our house or your house).
We are looking for a child to join our share from
approximately 9am-2:30pm Mon, Tues, Wed. The share rate is

Extraordinary Nanny Available for Share (Rockridge, Berkeley, Temescal, Albany, Kensington)
-----------------------------------------------
Our two-and-a-half-year-old daughter is starting pre-school
part-time in late August. Our wonderful nanny, Lhami, is
going to continue taking care of our daughter from about
12:30 to 5:30 Mon.-Fri. But her reduced hours with us means
that Lhami is available to work with another family in the
mornings, or to work in an afternoon share situation with
our daughter and another toddler.
I cannot say enough good things about Lhami. She has been
with our family for two years and has been a true partner
with my husband and me in raising our daughter. She's
originally from Nepal and has about 20 years of experience
as a nanny (as a result, she comes with loads of glowing
references from local families). She genuinely loves
children and couldn't be more attuned to their needs and
desires, and predictably, our daughter adores her.
Lhami speaks excellent English and she's all the things that
working parents need: reliable, flexible, smart, lively,
engaging, and just an all-around joy to have in your child's
life (and your life). I don't know what I would have done
without her these last two years.
If you're interested in a morning nanny, or a nanny share,
please contact me at allison...@gmail.com. We are open
to traveling to another family's home for a share, or
hosting at our home.

Looking for another 5 year old for summer adventur (South Berkeley)
-----------------------------------------------
Hello Parents,
I am looking for another 4-6 year old who wants to have some adventures with
my 5 year old son, part time for three weeks this summer. My son's camp ends
on July 19th and we need 3 weeks of part time childcare for him while I work.
He seems too young to just send him to multiple camps and so I thought that a
good babysitter and a fun friend would be a fun way to spend a few weeks.
Depending on if there is a car or not, they could go swimming, bike riding, take
the bus to the Lawrence Hall of Science and Tilden, and have more quiet time
doing art projects and dressing up in one of our houses.
If this sounds appealing to you, please email me.
Thanks
laura

Calm, centered nanny FT or PT (Oakland, Berkeley, Albany, El Cerrito, Richmond)
-----------------------------------------------
Our son's nanny, Fam Saelee, is looking for a new family
after almost three years with us (since our son was an
infant). Fam has years of experience and a patient, quiet
presence that gave my son a wonderful, secure, comforting
harbor. She loves everything that makes a kid happy: sitting
on her lap and active play and everything in between. I give
her credit for the fact that he's our ''happy guy.'' Our
older daughter (8YO) loves her, too.
Fam's values are in the right place, and it shows. She has a
long list of references and, before that, experience raising
her own children. She is completely punctual and reliable,
and at the same time she accommodated our schedule
adjustments (I'm a professor at Cal and often have meetings
that ran late). She is multilingual and totally comfortable
in English. Fam has a valid CA drivers license and a clean
driving record.
Fam can care for one children or several, newborn to
school-age. She's looking for PT or FT. You can reach her at
730-8172 or me at 861-5230.

Highly Recommended Nanny Available in Oakland (Oakland)
-----------------------------------------------
We have been part of a Nanny share (2 nannies,4 kids) for
the past 9 months, but our two oldest are starting school
later this month. Our second nanny, Man Saechao, will be
available for a new family. We have thoroughly enjoyed
having Man as a part of our families, and we highly
recommend her to anyone seeking care for their children.
Here are just a few things about Man that we experienced
over the past 9 months. She is completely reliable-never
missed a day of work and was never late. She has her own
car and has no problem driving the children to activities
like the park and zoo. She has excellent communication
skills (her English is fantastic). She has a calm nature
but a lot of energy, and has no problem keeping up with
babies and toddlers. Most importantly, she was able to
quickly bond with each of our four children.
Man is looking for part time or full time nanny
responsibilities preferably in the Oakland area. She
currently works for us in the Oakmore area, but would be
open to Alameda and Berkeley. She would like to start in

Our beloved nanny, Mulu, will be available for F/T or P/T care beginning in
July, when the little boy she's been caring for since he was 3 months old starts
preschool (our youngest in the share started preschool in May).
Mulu is an exceptional, energetic, amazingly loving, uber responsible and
trustworthy nanny who is a true gem and we can't recommend her highly
enough. She not only provides a safe, loving, nurturing environment, but she
is also constantly engaging the children in activities, play, reading, walks and
music. There hasn't been a day where she has sat still in the house while the
kids are up and active, even when it's pouring outside, and our children are
exceptionally happy, curious, active (and tan !) because of her boundless
energy, enthusiasm, and love. She brings 20+ years of experience with
newborns, toddlers, preschoolers, multiple infants, siblings, and preteens,
plus her own mommy mojo from raising 2 accomplished daughters on her
own. She has a clean driving record, owns her own car and is Trustline
certified.

with and can be reached directly at 510-586-2972 or feel free to contact me

weekends, even on short notices. In fact, she has stayed until 1-2 am at times
for me without any complaints. Meuy is very loving and attentive toward my son

communicates very well with me regarding any concerns she has for my son. She
does a wonderful job with bathing and feeding him. My son loves the healthy
smoothie she makes. She gives undivided attention to my son and taught him
well. My son has lots of fun with her. She is a very safe driver and is CPR

Morning, Evening and Weekend Nanny Available ((Montclair/Piedmont/Rockridge/N. Berkeley))
-----------------------------------------------
Parents,
With great pleasure I fully recommend Kristen Boyd as a
professional nanny and babysitter. I cannot say enough good
things about the care she is providing to my two children,
ages 6 and 4. She picks them up from school, takes them to
various activities, and then cares for them until my
husband or I return home.
One of Kristen's many strengths is her ability to
communicate. At the end of each day she provides a recap of
the day's events and any issues or challenges (big or
small) our kids happen to face. She has interest in the
children's thought processes and likes/dislikes in order to
learn how she can best accompany the family unit. She
performs light housekeeping, can cook meals, has her own
car, is flexible with scheduling, energetic, and always
maintains a positive attitude.
Kristen is educated, tremendously reliable, and I fully
trust that Kristen has the intelligence and intuition to
make the right choices. The comfort of knowing you have
someone you trust caring for your children while away from
them, is priceless.
Kristen is available Mondays, Weekends, and in the mornings
and evenings Tuesday - Friday. Her only restriction is that
she is allergic to cats (but dogs are fine).
Please contact she or I to discuss further.

Experienced, fun, sociable nanny, M/W, Sept. (Rockridge, North Oakland, South Berkeley)
-----------------------------------------------
Our nanny, Adriana, will be looking for new families this Sept. in a two-child,
part-time nannyshare: Mon. 10:00 am to 4:30 pm and Wed. 9:00am to
4:00pm.
Adriana is loving, thoughtful, conscientious, and has a great sense of humor.
She is fluent in Spanish, her English is strong, and she's current in First Aid
and CPR. Adriana has been caring for our two families' daughters since the
girls were 6 and 8 months old. It's Adriana's second ''generation'' with one of
our families, as she previously cared for an older sister starting in 2008.
The girls' days with Adriana include lots of time at the park, story-time at the
library, and playing and reading at home. They're always happy to see ''Ana''
in the morning, and naptimes, snacks, and meals are well-structured so that
the girls are well-fed and rested.
Adriana has a strong network of other nannies in our area, so our children
have enjoyed both the individualized attention of their own caregiver and the
social activity of playing with a regular group of children and nannies at local
parks.
If you're looking for a caregiver for Mondays and Wednesdays, we can't
recommend her enough!

Loving, Experienced Nanny Available in August (Berkeley and other locations)
-----------------------------------------------
Now that my daughter is in preschool, it is time for our
beloved nanny, Lupe, to find a new family who can benefit
from her special talents with children.
Lupe has been a wonderful addition to our family for the
past three years, and we feel truly blessed to have found
her. She provides excellent child care for our daughter.
She provides cuddles when needed, happily gets right down
on the floor to play, and helped immeasurably with getting
our daughter to take regular naps. Other moms frequently
tell me that how attentive she is with our daughter, and
how lucky we are to have found ''one of the good ones.''
It is so wonderful to come home from work to the sounds of
our daughter laughing and happy in Lupe's care. In
addition, Lupe cooks nutritious meals for our daughter.
Lupe is a native Spanish speaker, but also speaks English
fluently and has US citizenship. Lupe does not drive, but
is an expert with the local bus system. Our daughter
loved taking the bus to Habitot and other destinations.

Gentle, Kind and Responsible Nanny Available (Oakland, Berkeley, El Cerrito)
-----------------------------------------------
We're moving out of state and so our beloved nanny Alicia is looking for a new
family. She's been wonderful with our 9-month old son - extremely gentle,
calm and loving, while also stimulating him with games and lots of
conversation. Alicia has also watched our toddler daughter some mornings
before preschool and is great with that age too. She's incredibly responsible
(never once arriving late, notwithstanding the 7:30 am start time!), kind, loving,
and just a wonderful person to have in our family. We will miss her terribly.
Alicia's first language is Spanish though her English is quite good. She would
like a full-time position, accessible via public transportation, hopefully for more
than one child. I should add that before us she worked for many, many years
for the same set of families in a share situation, and they adored her too.
Please email me if you want to know more, or contact her through her daughter
Geovana at 510-383-0897.

Exceptionally Fabulous Nanny (Oakland/BART-accessible SF and Berkeley)
-----------------------------------------------
We have moved and are hoping to help find a loving family
for our wonderful nanny of over 5-1/2 years. Patty is a rare
find with 20+ yrs of experience as a nanny for newborns,
toddlers and young children and as a school teacher before
that. Patty is college-educated and has been a very
reliable, responsible, highly skilled, honest, loving and
attentive caregiver, teacher and friend to our sons since
they were newborns. Other parents have marveled about how
great she is with our kids. She is very insightful about
each child. She has never missed a day of work and is very
organized and punctual. Patty is exceptionally resourceful
and proactive in finding enriching activities for children
and in getting them to eat the healthy balanced meals that
she prepares. Our sons are very happily engaged and well-
behaved with her -- we wish we knew her secret! She speaks
Spanish natively and English fluently and has taught our
children Spanish at our request. She does not drive but
easily gets around with public transportation. Patty has an
excellent track record with several Bay Area families (each
of whom she worked with at least 4-5 years, which speaks
volumes). We highly recommend Patty -- you will be lucky to
have someone like her, and her other references feel the
same.

Our little one is starting preschool in Sept, and we, sadly, need to say
goodbye to our wonderful nanny. She worked with us FT for 1 year and is

weekends. She is punctual, reliable, and responsible. She is very experience and
knowledgeable about childcare and has taught my son (and me!) very well. She
taught my son sign language, introduce us to various parks/child activities in the
east bay, and set up play dates for my son on her own with my permissions. She

child. She genuinely loves the children under her care. She is extremely caring
towards my son but does not spoil our son. She is a very safe driver and is CPR

Wonderful nanny has opening for new family! (Berkeley/Albany/El Cerrito/Richmond)
-----------------------------------------------
Justina has worked for my family for almost 2 years and works for several other
families too, some of them for 6+ years. She is fabulous! She takes a genuine
interest in the kids she watches; she doesn't just care for them, she really plays
with them too. She loves to run kids around at the park, take them on outings,
etc. She is 100% capable and reliable. She's great with babies and older kids alike
and is experienced watching multiple kids at one time.
Justina doesn't only clean up, she cleans too. If she has extra time, she'll cook,
do laundry, etc.
My toddler will be starting preschool, so starting Aug 1, Justina will have
mornings and some full days available for a lucky new family.
I can honestly say that I cannot recommend Justina highly enough. She has been
my right-hand woman, and I'm sad to not be able to use her as much now. She
speaks English and Spanish. She does not drive, but she loves to walk & be
active. She does a lot of walking (with strollers) with my kids. When necessary,
she'll take kids on the bus, BART, etc, too. I even had another nanny tell me how
lucky I am to have Justina because ''she really pays attention to the kids.''

Daniella has been working with our son & baby twins for the
last six month. She brings years of experience with infants
& toddlers. D. is creative & energetic with my 5 year-old,
respectful of his opinions but firm about our rules. She
has been very sensitive toward his feelings about the new
addition of twins into our family and thoughtful about ways
to make him feel important and included. Our babies adore
her. During the time she has cared for them, she has made a
significant connection with each baby. She pays particular
attention to their individual needs and developmental
stages. There is no separation anxiety when I leave the
babies with D. Their faces light up when she arrives. D.
makes a concerted effort to communicate with my husband & I
about how the day went. She is very respectful of our
values, supports our needs as a family & easy to get along
with. Having D. in our lives has really helped us with the
transition from one child to three children. I would
recommend her to families with a single child as well as
twins. I feel very lucky to have found a nanny who is as
loving,supportive, kind and thoughtful as her. D. is
available for additional 10-15 hours per week. She is
seeking a warm & communicative family to work with. Please

years, Jenny. Unfortunately, our needs our changing and we
no longer need a full time nanny. She has been a nanny for
upwards of 30 years. Jenny is a loving, punctual, reliable

adjusted, independent, healthy girls having spent time with
Jenny. Jenny is a great mother’s helper too. She is

knows a tiny bit of Spanish having grown up in Honduras)
and does not drive. It would be preferable if her next job
was close to public transportation. She lives near Lake

time to help maintain their memorial wall, and has been

*AMAZING* Tibetan nanny avail July 1st (Berkeley/Rockridge/El Cerrito/ Richmond/Piedmont)
-----------------------------------------------
We are moving and are so sad to have to give up our AMAZING Tibetan nanny
Tsomo. She has been so loving to our son and genuinely cares deeply for
him. I can see in the little things (always making sure his hands are wiped,
clean face, she brings him yummy Tibetan food, lots of hugs and games) and
in the big things (she started potty training him since he was interested in her
daughter using the potty, has taught him how to share and be kind to others,
has worked with him to be patience, take turns and listen to others). I really
feel she is the next best thing to me being there and on some days even
better, lol!
She brings her 2.5yr daughter with her to our house and charges us a
modified share rate. She is open to full or part time. She can do single or
share care as her daughter will soon be going into preschool.
Tsomo is a certified nurse in Tibet and has nannied in the US for more than 7
years. Her excellent care speaks for itself but I love that my son wakes up
every morning and asks ''Tsomo time?'' and I don't have to feel guilty going to
work. She can start July 1st or sooner.

Our wonderful nanny seeks childcare work Sept. (North Oakland, South Berkeley)
-----------------------------------------------
Our wonderful nanny, Koy Saelee, is looking for childcare work starting this
September. Koy has been the nanny for our son and his friend Lulu for the past
year, 3 days a week, 8 hours a day. She started caring for them when they were
15 months old; both are going to pre-school full-time this fall. We will have Koy
continue to babysit for us on an as-needed basis, because she's fantastic and
our son loves her.
Koy is incredibly nurturing and loving, and is constantly attentive in a kind and
patient manner. She plays games, sings songs, reads aloud, and takes the kids
to a lovely little park every day where they see the same cohort.
Koy has raised 6 children of her own, and cared for several others as a nanny,
including one for a year, and a brother and sister for 5 years. She continues to
babysit for these families as well. We have met Koy's extended family on several
occasions; she is really a part of our family and us a part of hers.
Koy is always on time, and has always been flexible whenever we've needed her
to be. She sometimes surprises us by cooking for us, just because.
We recommend Koy as a nanny very highly, and would love to help her find
another family to work with.

Flor: A Warm & Nurturing Nanny seeking FT M-F (Rockridge, Montclair, Berkeley, Oakland, Alameda)
-----------------------------------------------
Our nanny Flor is seeking a new family to support as our son begins
Kindergarten in the fall. Her availability can be sooner than September.
Flor has been a nurturing, supportive, patient and dependable caregiver and will
be greatly missed. She is seeking another full time position, preferably for a
family with infants and/or toddlers.
Flor contributed consistently to our son’s early years of development, as well as
his later educational growth, which included various types of outings. She has
imaginatively guided him to securely navigate his new, exciting and ever
expanding world. In addition, Flor prepares his meals and does some laundry.
She always stays busy in our home, shows up to work on time, rarely if ever
missing a day. There is no question of her honesty and integrity.
Flor has been a nanny for ten years. Prior to us, she worked for a family in
Berkeley who were sorry to lose her. She comes from a family of nannies, with
four sisters caring for children in the area. She speaks Spanish and reads and
speaks English very well. She is also a mother of three.
We would love to see her connect with a new family, creating her singular magic
for some very special and lucky children.

Our wonderful Nanny needs a New Family (El Cerrito, Albany, Berkeley, Oakland)
-----------------------------------------------
We have had a wonderful nanny for the last 18 months who
has taken care of our daughter since she was 4 months
old. It is time for our daughter to move on to a
preschool setting so we'd like to help our nanny find a
new family starting in August. Although our daughter
still cannot put together full sentences to tell us what
they do every day, it is obvious that she loves Maria
Elena as she lights up and makes crazy funny noises of
excitement when Maria Elena comes to our house each day.
We also know they spend a lot of time outside at the park,
walking around the neighborhood, dancing, listening to
music, and playing with our daughter's favorite puzzles.
For almost a year, we have also shared Maria Elena with
another family twice a week but that family is also
sending their child to preschool in August. So she will
be completely available and I am sure she would be willing
to entertain nanny-share opportunities as well as single
family options. Please feel free to contact me if you
want more information.

luck!

well taken care of AND learn Spanish, Clelia is the nanny for you. (p.s. She

Clelia is willing to work with one child or two. Speaking from experience, she
is GREAT with two kids so if you have a family to do a nanny share with, you
should contact us!

family/families. Share cost is $11/hour per child and $16/hour for one child.

Highly Experienced, Loving FT Nanny Avail. Sept 1 (Oakland/Berkeley/Other East Bay)
-----------------------------------------------
Our beloved nanny Feuy is available Sept 1 as our twins
start school this fall. She has over 15 years' experience,
is CPR certified and drives. She has been with us since the
boys were 2 months. She does so much to make our lives
easier, keep the boys safe and well cared for, but what I
appreciate most is she genuinely loves our boys and treats
them like her own. She fills the day with engaging
activities and ensures they're well-rested and nutritiously
fed. They go for daily walks and trips to the park. She
introduces them to new things, shows them how to accomplish
tasks and encourages their creativity. As our boys have
matured, we see what a positive influence she has had on
them. As a working mom, she gives me such peace of mind.
She'll text me pictures and videos, makes meals for the
boys, does their laundry and cleans up after them. She knows
and respects boundaries but shares suggestions when asked.
I've never seen her get flustered. She handled our fussy
preemies with gastric reflux with ease and grace. We will be
sad not to see Feuy on a daily basis but we know she'll
always be part of our lives. Feuy is looking for a full time
position, preferably with twins or in a nanny share, but she
is open. If you are interested, please email me at

We are moving out of the area, and our wonderful Brazilian
nanny is looking for a lucky family to work with. Aline has
been taking care of my toddler since January 2013. She is

her eagerly each day, and it's clear that Aline has made a
true connection with her. My older children (8 & 5) love
her too: she's been great with them on the occasions when
she's had all three. Aline is extremely helpful around the
house with laundry and dishes: she looks for ways to help me
during naptime, so we always come home to a cleaner and more
organized house. If you are looking for full-time or
part-time childcare during the day, or if you are looking
for help in the evenings or weekends, please consider Aline.

Great Nanny available in August (Montclair, Oakland, Rockridge)

B has been with us for 3.5 yrs. She started with our daughter at 3 months until
she went to preschool. Then we had our son and she's been with him since
birth. We are sad to see her go but our son is starting preschool in August. She
will always remain a part of our family. B is like a sister to me and a guardian to
our children. She is warm, compassionate and caring. She has the biggest heart
and truly LOVES the children she cares for. B has gone on trips with our family
and has taken the kids for overnight stays. In 3.5 years she has NEVER been late
and has only had 2 sick days. She is responsible, reliable and flexible. When I
need her in a pinch, she is always there. She has 3 children of her own (2 out of
college 1 still in). Her wealth of knowledge is priceless and so helpful when I
was a new mom. B is very active with the kiddos - taking them to gymbo,
fairyland, studio grow and the park but ensures they are home in time for nap -
she plans the day around the child's schedule. I only have a limited amount of
space here, but I can fill a book with her abilities and love for children. Please
contact me if you are interested in meeting B, you won't be disappointed! Just
last week, a mom at gymbo stopped me to tell me how wonderful she is with
our son.

Loving, trustworthy FT nanny available in Sept (Oakland,S.Berkeley, Alameda,Emeryville,
SanLeandro)
-----------------------------------------------
Yien has been our nanny as part of a nanny share for the
past 15 months. Soon I will be going out on maternity
leave, and our nanny-share partner will begin preschool in
September. Yien is tb negative, CPR certified, and has a
clean CA driver's record. We highly recommend Yien. She
has a relaxed confidence with children that was really
reassuring to me as a first time mom. When she started
watching my daughter (who was 4 months at the time), we had
not yet figured out a nap schedule. Yien had my daughter on
a nap schedule within a week or two. She kept a log for us
stating the times of each nap, as well as diaper changes,
etc. It was helpful in the beginning, and now we just
handle the updates verbally each evening. My daughter
absolutely lights up every morning when she sees Yien, and
talks about Yien quite a bit at home. Yien has tremendous
experience with children, having nannied for years, and
also having several children and grandchildren of her own.
She listens to direction when I have something I want done
in a specific way. If there is a concern that is new to me,
Yien also has suggestions on how to move forward. She is
always on time. She has covered for us when we’ve had to be
home late, and has babysat for us on nights and weekends.
Please contact me with any inquiries.

Spanish speaking nanny recommended (Berkeley, Albany, El Cerrito)
-----------------------------------------------
I am writing to recommend Yessica for part time or full time
care. Yessica has years of experience in childcare and as a
mother. You can tell that she loves working with children
and takes classes to further her knowledge. Yessica has a
gentle and enthusiastic voice even when redirecting my kids
or resolving disagreements. She chooses creative activities
to keep them busy during the day such as artwork and ''field
trips'' within the neighborhood.
Yessica primarily speaks Spanish, but is learning English
and can read books to my kids in English. Yessica knows how
to establishe a routine/schedule for multiple children and
handle busy households with ease. At the end of the day, my
kids have been well fed, had opportunities for exercise and
fresh air, and learned pre-school readiness skills. Yessica
is wonderful with my baby too. She knows how to encourage
his muscle development and vocabulary. My home is tidy when
I come home and she does light cleaning. Yessica has a car
and is a safe driver.

Openings at Diana's Play House (Oakland--Crocker Highlands )
-----------------------------------------------
We've had nothing but absolutely positive experiences while our daughter
has been under Diana's care. She has been with Diana since 2011, and
though she's definitely excited to start preschool in September, I have no
doubt she'll miss Diana and her friends at the playhouse immensely.
Diana brings with her not only a wealth of experience from working with
children at the playhouse, but also as a mom of three boys. From the first
day our daughter started at Diana's, we had no doubt that she would be
safe and happy. She looks forward to going to Diana's each morning, and
is always excited at the end of the day to talk about everything she did. Of
the many things we appreciate about Diana, we've found her super
responsive and communicative; she holds our daughter's well-being and
happiness at the center of our interactions. Diana lets children's interests
inform the day, and infuses puzzles, music, art projects, walks, outdoor
play, cooking, and imaginative play into each day. Added bonus-she
provides healthy, organic snacks and lunch!

Bilingual Mandarin Home Daycare in Oakland (Dimond/Lower Hills/Sequoia Elementary/Head Royce)
-----------------------------------------------
My wonderful daycare provider, Julia Hom, has openings for
an infant or toddler now and for Fall 2013. Her daycare is
in her home, off Lincoln Avenue above MacArthur near Sequoia
Elementary School.
My 2 year old daughter has been going to Julia's since she
was 4 months old. I am a first-time parent and have been
very happy with her care there. Julia is extremely reliable
and capable, and cares very much for the kids. Her home is
cheerful and has lots of areas for the kids to play. She
keeps the home extremely clean.
She has lots of books and toys for the kids to play with,
provides reading and music time, and provides outside play
and home-cooked meals and snacks. Julia is warm and loving
and patient with the children. Julia has been providing
daycare for the past 20 years. She also speaks both Mandarin
and English. My husband and I do not speak Mandarin, but our
2 year old now understands and speaks a little!
When our daughter was a baby we used cloth diapers and Julia
had no problem with that. We also used some EC methods and
sign language for early potty training and Julia was willing
to help with that, too.
I would highly recommend Julia to anyone looking for a small
family daycare! Julia's house is truly our daughter's
second home. Terri

Recommendation for Jenny Clemente (Upper Rockridge)
-----------------------------------------------
I would like to recommend Jenny Clemente's Montessori
International Children's House in Upper Rockridge. My son
(12 mo) and daughter (almost 3) have been in Jenny's care
for the past eight months and ''Jenny's house'' has become a
second home to them. An experienced Montessori educator,
Jenny provides a preschool curriculum in addition to the
daycare. The children learn by doing and playing in a warm
and nurturing environment. In keeping with the Montessori
philosophy, the younger children learn from older children
and older children reinforce their own learning by
teaching mastered concepts to the younger ones. Feel free
to contact me for more information or call Jenny herself @
510-655-2740

Affordable, Cozy Family Daycare near Grand Lake (Grand Lake/Piedmont Border)
-----------------------------------------------
I recommend Binh Nguyen & her high quality, affordable
family daycare located just off Grand Ave in Oakland (near
Ace). Binh & her assistant have cared for my daughter
since she was 5 mo old. (She’s now 21 mo). She cared for
my friend’s little girl for 1.5 yrs & came highly
recommended. One of the best aspects is the low child to
provider ratio (2:1). They only take 4 kids max & only
infants up to 2 yrs old. Binh operates in Vietnamese &
English. Hours are 8:00 am-5:00 pm, Mon-Fri.
Binh provides a wonderful environment in her bright, sunny
home. The day care area is very clean with hardwood
floors (w/ mats) & lots of windows. They take the kids
out in the back for fresh air daily. They are loving,
attentive, and my daughter smiles happily every morning
when we arrive. Scheduled naps are part of the routine,
and they can help your child get used to a regular naptime
if s/he doesn’t have one yet! Your child will be loved,
clean, well cared for, and happy at the end of the day.
Binh has an opening for 1 Full Time space right now/early
July. Call her! You won’t regret it! Feel free to contact
me (Anne Marie) directly for more details at 510-435-4757
or akor...@gmail.com.

Check out The School on the Hill (El Cerrito, Albany, Richmond, Kensington)
-----------------------------------------------
My child's former teacher, Richard Sugerman, recently
opened a daycare, The School on the Hill (www.tsoth.org).
Based on what I experienced of him and his teaching, it's
bound to be a terrific place.
Mr. Sugerman was a caring, funny, completely engaged
teacher. He connected with all the different types of
kids in the diverse public school class and brought out
the best in each of them. He encouraged them to ask
questions and to reason their way to answers. He showed
the students how to be confident in themselves and how to
support each other. In his class, the students blossomed
socially, as well as academically.
I know that Mr. Sugerman will bring all his experience and
skill in working with kids to his new venture. Anyone
looking for a daycare or preschool in the area should be
sure to give him a call and check out The School on the
Hill.

Little Red Wagon is a great daycare (El Cerrito)
-----------------------------------------------
I found the Little Red Wagon when I started searching for a
part-time daycare for my daughter when she was about a year
old. Not only did I send my daughter there until she moved on
to preschool, but now I send my baby boy. I've been able to
get part-time, full-time, and drop-in hours depending on what
I needed, often with very little notice.
It is a great place. The kids are in such good hands with
Atcha, who is just amazing. She seems completely tireless,
but is so warm and sweet to everyone (including tired
parents!). The school is very cozy and inviting, and the kids
get homemade food every day. I could go on about the great
playspace in the backyard, all the wonderful teachers, and how
well the children play and learn together, but basically, I
can't recommend Little Red Wagon highly enough... it is a
wonderful place for kids.
