A little bit about me
My name is Heron Yosief Haile. I grew up in a large family and was the family babysitter during family events. I have experience with kids of all ages from infancy to 18+ both with a verified agency and private clients. I can cook, tutor, am First AID/CPR certified for all ages. I have a variety of interests which allows me to easily bond with people. I prefer to let the kids no matter their age guide our activities within age-appropriate and parental parameters as I believe that agency is important everyone. I am an effective communicator, respectful, and patient.

"Heron was a phenomenal employee. She took great care of our son, always coming up with fun and exciting activities and giving him a lot of delicate care and love. Our son had special medical needs and she learned how to care for him quickly. She was humble, and willing to dig in and learn special medical instructions, breastmilk instructions, and other house management tasks such as baby laundry, dishes, etc. She always listened to our instructions and requests. She was reliable and dependable. You can tell she truly loves children by the love and care she puts into watching them. I would definitely recommend Heron as a nanny."

"I'd recommend Jayna without hesitation.
She looked after our daughter, and Ella clearly had a good time with her. She's warm, engaged, and easy to trust with a toddler.
What stood out most was how accommodating she was and how she goes beyond the basics. Rather than just keeping an eye on Ella, she added value to the role in a way that made us feel well taken care of too.
If you're looking for someone reliable, caring, and generous with her time, Jayna is an excellent choice."

"“Honey” (Alexandria) is the best! We adore her. She is so fun, always singing, dancing and brings thoughtful toys and activities for the kids based on their interests. She is very reliable, always on time and follows schedules well. It’s clear that she is truly enjoying her time as a babysitter and it’s not just a job for her. I was forced to choose an end date for this review but hopefully we can continue to use her for many years to come!"

"Kerley has been an absolute miracle for our family. She started when my daughter was 4 months old and started refusing a bottle. Kerley got her back on the bottle and has been working with us for over 3 years now (previously full time and now part time on weekends since my daughter is in daycare). She is a great communicator, fluent in English / Spanish / Portuguese and goes above and beyond with extra cleaning and help around the house during nap times. She is loving and playful - I highly recommend her!"

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
Daycare vs. Hiring a Nanny
Choosing between putting your child in daycare and hiring a nanny can be a tough decision. While nannies are often more expensive, they provide individualized attention and flexibility. Daycares, on the other hand, prioritize socialization. Our Nanny vs Daycare guide can help you determine what's best for your family.
