A little bit about me
Hello parents & guardians,
I’ve worked with children for many years, starting as the go-to babysitter for younger relatives. That passion led me to coach youth soccer in high school, teaching both skills and values like teamwork and honesty.
As a camp counselor, I led nature hikes, taught basic botany, arts and crafts, and wilderness safety—encouraging curiosity and confidence outdoors. From [phone number hidden], I coached youth rock climbing, creating a safe, supportive space for kids to grow physically and mentally.
Most recently, I’ve worked full-time with an infant starting at 6 months old, building a daily rhythm of naps, meals, play, and sensory activities to support development. I also handle diapering, bottle feeding, meal prep, and introducing solids with care and attention.
I’m dedicated to creating nurturing spaces where children feel secure, respected, and free to thrive. I’d love the chance to support your family.
Warmly,
Ella H

A little bit about me
Hi! My name is Erin, I’m 23 years old living in Oakland California. A few things about me, i’m non-binary and go by they/them and currently work in special education as a paraprofessional. I live to dance, sing, and play with my dog Frodo. I’ve been working with kids for over five years now ranging from being a nanny, to choreographer and dance teacher, to science camp instructor and now currently assisting students who are on the spectrum or have disabilities in an education environment. My schedule is currently open all week due to school ending and summer break beginning so I’m out of work at the moment. I’m open to any phone calls, emails, in person meet ups, anything you’re comfortable with and I am willing to do background checks and provide any paperwork or references if needed. :)

A little bit about me
Hello, my name is Yadira. I love working with children because they are a special gift and because the most important stage in the life of every human being is childhood. If this is developed correctly, it will allow the child to become a proactive adult capable of facing life's challenges. I really enjoy reading, learning new things, and smiling. I have the ability to prepare fun classes where children can learn basic things such as primary colors, numbers, geometric figures, and how to read sentences and write their name. I acquired these skills working in daycare centers in my country and this beautiful country. I enjoy doing crafts and nature. I love cooking, baking, and organizing family dinners and events. My native language is Spanish and I would gladly teach children since learning languages helps intellectual development. I would like to be able to serve and help a family that needs my skills.

Understand Babysitter Responsibilities in Oakland, CA
Before beginning the search for a babysitter, it’s important to understand what you’re looking for and if a babysitter is the right choice for your child care needs. There are lots of benefits to hiring a babysitter such as getting the flexibility of having some more time for yourself or with your partner. When hiring a babysitter, first, you should explore the differences between a nanny and a babysitter. If you’re looking for occasional child care, babysitters are the right choice for you, but if you’re looking for more frequent care, a nanny may be better for your needs.
From there, you can think about what you expect your babysitter to handle so that you can create a profile for nannies to reach out to you. The boundaries for babysitters’ duties can vary from family to family. However, in general, a babysitter is responsible for making sure your kids’ needs are met, including things like ensuring they have opportunities to play and be active. When tasks go beyond child care, for example to housekeeping, laundry, or meal preparation, it’s good practice to communicate these expectations with your babysitter before hiring them. Along with the different duties that you ask for, experience and location in Oakland can impact how much you pay your babysitter.
Oakland Babysitter Interviews
Once you start connecting with prospective babysitters, the next step is to conduct an interview. To make things a bit easier, here’s a list of some babysitter interview questions to consider asking:
- Do you have experience being a babysitter?
- What sort of household tasks are you open and comfortable doing?
- Do you have any references?
- Are you trained in First Aid or CPR in California?
- Do you have a California driver’s license? Do you own a car?
- How do you handle tantrums? Can you share an experience disciplining children?
During the hiring process, it’s essential to ask for references and by asking their references questions you gain a better understanding of they will fit in your family. As you get closer to hiring a nanny, be sure to run a background check to ensure your kids are in good hands. When evaluating a babysitter that you’re considering hiring, make sure you’re setting the foundation for a good relationship with your babysitter. You can do this by being clear about your expectations around babysitter responsibilities and compensation, and of course, by being friendly and welcoming!
And of course, as you learn how to hire a babysitter, Nanny Lane's nanny services are here to help you along the way.
