Kinshasa Davis

Millsmont, Oakland$28/hr | 9 yrs experience

I am a very caring individual that loves caring for kids. I believe that all children are special and unique individuals who deserve to be treated with love and respect. I first got into the childcare field when I was 12 years old by helping my aunt take care of her four children. It was then that I knew I had an inner talent for caring for children. At nineteen, I decided to chose childcare as a career.

Ive Cardozo

Millsmont, Oakland$25/hr | 3 yrs experience

Born and raised in Rio de Janeiro, my hometown in Brazil is where I first discovered my love and passion for working with kids. Since 2002, I have been volunteering with children susceptible to inequity, crime and poverty.

Upon moving to the US, I made the transition to working with kids full time serving children ages 1 to 4 in daycare centers.
Over the last three years I have been working as a nanny and full-time pandemic pod teacher, assisting 4 children.

It was an amazing journey with them, but unfortunately all childcare’s work comes to an end. I absolutely love the families I work with and I can provide excellent references.

I’m a current teacher in a private sweet preschool in Oakland, working with a class of 3 and 4 years old.
I am also enrolled at Diablo Valley College where I am earning my degree in Early Childhood Education.

Have you considered a nanny share?

A nanny share is when one nanny cares for children from two different families. Each family saves significantly on child care expenses, while the nanny enjoys higher pay than the typical full-time position.

Hi! We have a 6 month old boy and are looking for part time care (about 2-3 full days a week) and a family to share with. Happy to switch off hosting, we have no pets in our household but love pets so not opposed to those with pets :)

The Castillo Family

Redwood Heights, Oakland$20/hr | 1 kid

We are looking to begin child care for our baby girl when she's around 5 months. Care is needed from Wednesday - Friday for approximately 9 hours per day, with some flexibility. We'd love the option for occasional weekend care too. No pick-up or drop-off care needed at this time. We have a very friendly Labradoodle, so our nanny would need to be comfortable around dogs if/when the care will be based out of our home.

The Lara Family

Frick, Oakland$20/hr | 1 kid

Hola, mucho gusto! We are Andrés, Josué, and Molly and we live in sunny Oakland. Andrés and I are both blessed with the ability to work from home. Our space is set up to support Josué’s needs and our work spaces will be separate. We are a young family full of energy and warmth looking for someone who will encourage Josue’s growth and curiosity. We love spending time outdoors under the avocado tree in our backyard and sharing in our love for music (drums, guitar, piano)!

Josué will be 3 months old by the time care starts. We are a bilingual family, so Spanish speaking is preferred, but the connection with our family is most important!

Kinshasa D.

She is very down to earth and intelligent and really listens to you as the parent. She is really considers the needs of the kids and I consider her to be very responsible and trustworthy. She also keeps the kids engaged and they tell me about how they do different activities during the day. The kids enjoy being with her as well. - Michelle

Kinshasa D.

Kinshasa is a very knowledgeable nanny.She is very sweet to children and treats them like her own. My son loved the way she took care of him and always smiled and laugh with her. Kinshasa is like a family member of ours and her next family to nanny for will be very lucky to have her. - Carlett

Kinshasa D.

Shasa just knows what she's doing with kiddos. She was calm, connected with our son right away, and was a steady energy in our day when we were frazzled, confused, and exhausted new parents. She's also incredibly fastidious, never letting a fallen paci go back in his mouth. I am forever grateful for her during some of the most challenging moments in our parenthood journey (so far ;) ). - Ren

How to Hire a Nanny in Oakland, CA

Nanny Lane is a nanny website to help you find a nanny in your area. Our nanny services include background checks, PLUS, and nanny payroll.

Understand Nanny Responsibilities in Oakland, CA

Before beginning the search for a nanny, it’s important to understand what you’re looking for and if a nanny is the right choice for your child care needs. In hiring a nanny, first, you should think through what responsibilities you expect your nanny to handle. With that information, you can create a profile so that nannies can reach out to you. The boundaries for nannies duties vary from family to family. In general, a nanny is responsible for making sure your children’s needs are met, including things like ensuring they have opportunities to play and be active. When tasks go beyond child care, for example, housekeeping or meal preparation, it’s good practice to communicate these expectations with your nanny before hiring them. Along with the different duties that you ask for, experience and location can impact how much you should pay your nanny.

Oakland Nanny Interviews

Once you start connecting with prospective nannies, the next step is a nanny interview. To make things a bit easier, here’s a list of some nanny interview questions to consider asking:

Do you have experience being a nanny?
How do you handle tantrums? Can you share an experience disciplining children?
What sort of household tasks are you open to doing?
Are you open to a live in arrangement in Oakland? Do you have experience being a live in nanny?
Are you open to being a nanny in a nanny share?
Do you have any references?
Are you trained in First Aid or CPR in Oakland?
Do you have a driver’s license in CA? Do you own a car?
What salary are you seeking? Are you open to being paid through direct-deposit, pay stubs?
What are your expectations around over-time pay and vacation time?

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 prospective nanny, it’s essential to make sure you’re setting the foundation for a good relationship with your nanny. You can do this by being clear about your expectations around nanny responsibilities and compensation, and of course, by being friendly and welcoming! And of course, as you learn how to hire a nanny, Nanny Lane's nanny services are here to help you along the way.
