A little bit about me
I have been serving east bay families for the past 3 years. I have a child led approach to caregiving (while always putting safety first) to allow kids to explore, create, and learn. I love to sing songs with the littles, play outside, read books, and really follow what the kids are showing interest in. I also love taking the child I nanny to parks, libraries, and really value giving them socialization with other kids. I have experience with newborns (as a postpartum doula) through around 3 years old.

A little bit about me
Hello! I’m a warm, nurturing, and experienced caregiver with over 30 years of working with young children, both in the classroom and in the home. I began my career as a Montessori preschool teacher, and for the past decade, I’ve had the joy of working as a private nanny for families in the Berkeley area. I bring a calm, thoughtful presence, a deep understanding of early childhood development, and a strong respect for each child’s individuality.
I love partnering with new parents—offering support, encouragement, and practical wisdom while helping little ones grow with curiosity, confidence, and joy. I’m especially drawn to families who value gentle communication, meaningful routines, and a peaceful, enriched environment.
It’s a privilege to help create a nurturing foundation in a child’s earliest years, and I’m excited to connect with families who are looking for not just a caregiver, but a true collaborator in their parenting journey.

A little bit about me
I'm a single parent and soon to be nursing student from Oakland, Ca but I've been living in Berkeley for 10+ years now. I'm a Berkeley high graduate and my favorite hobbies is to dance and go for hikes and sometimes like to go walk in the rain to clear my mind and look at the beauty of nature. Oh yes I love animals and nature a lot I don't really watch tv unless I'm watching something to do about animals or the planets lol my friends and sisters think I'm weird because that's all I really enjoy watching but I can't help it. I have four little sisters I watched each of them until they got old enough for me not to have to watch them. I've worked in daycares and babysat in my early teenage years still do whenever my cousins or close family friends need me to. I love kids I like goin for walks and play at the park also good at helping with homework and keeping them motivated. Kids naturally like me which I'm very happy about because that usually means you are a good person at heart.

A little bit about me
Hi, my name is Tigist. I earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in 2024. I have one year of experience working full-time as a nanny for a family with a 15 month old and a 6 year old, as well as one year of experience as a preschool teacher at Bright Horizons. Currently, I am completing a Child Development Associate (CDA) certificate as part of my job with Bright Horizons preschool.
Building meaningful connections with families and children is important for me, and I see nannying as a way of building a career while creating a strong connection with children and families. I bring out the best in shy or quiet children and am dedicated to addressing each child's individual needs. I believe that taking adventures and creating age-appropriate activities are essential for a child's growth and learning.
I consider myself responsible, nurturing, and hardworking. Additionally, I am organized, tidy, and always mindful of safety in my surroundings.
Looking forward to connecting!
