Eloise N. - Seeking Work in Oakland

Babysitter Available in Oakland, CA: Eloise N.

Hey! I'm Eloise! I am 19 years old and am studying kinesiology in community college. I am a nationally registered EMT with 4 years of babysitting experience.
I love kids, their curiosity and energy are fascinating and I love to see how they grow into themselves. I believe in following kids' leads with reassurance and an emphasis on boundaries, and getting on their level without baby talk. Kids are people and deserve agency and safety above all else. I have mostly worked with grade schoolers across families trying to de-emphasis screen time. I have 4 dogs and am very comfortable with pets. I'm not a great meal prep cook but I am happy to help with whatever is needed!

Infant/Toddler Nanny!
Hello! My name is Miriam Moyal. With over 30 years of experience as a dedicated infant and toddler preschool teacher, I'm seeking a 20- 30-hour-a-week nanny opportunity. I focus on creating nurturing, educational, and well-structured environments that support growth and joy. I am eager to bring these caring skills into a warm private home, ensuring your child receives exceptional care.
I am fluent in Hebrew. Currently, I am caring for a delightful 17-month-old, who was just 8 months old when I started. With mixed feelings, I’ll be saying goodbye to my little friend as he moves to daycare on September 7, 2026. This means I’ll be available to start caring for a new family from September 8, 2026.
. I would love to connect and discuss how I can support and care for your family!
Please don’t hesitate to reach out if you'd like to chat or review my references!
