Full-Time Nanny Available in Oakland, CA: Joia E.

"Joia is a wonderful person and an excellent nanny. My children loved spending time with her. She is not just a nanny but also an educator at heart and she kept them both entertained and enriched. She cheered them up when they didn’t want to leave Mama’s side, made them laugh, and was loving but firm and consistent with discipline. She is a good communicator, honest, transparent, and down to earth. I would not hesitate to recommend her."

"Joia is a very caring nanny, who takes her work seriously and understands the huge responsibility that she is entrusted with. She is affectionate with children and has a lot of patience. She was instrumental in helping us manage our work schedule while having very young children who needed a lot of attention for several hours per day."

"Joia has watched my son, Jackson, since he was about 6 months old, off and on. As a single mom who works full-time and is also a full-time student, Joia has been a saving grace. Joia has watched Jackson while I’ve worked and occasionally on the weekends or overnight. She is knowledgeable with infants and toddlers, and has been successful feeding, changing, bathing, and putting my son to sleep. She keeps him entertained by taking him to fun activities like local parks or playgrounds or creates age-appropriate activities for him at home. I would recommend Joia for your childcare needs."

"Joia began caring/nannying for my family in January 2020. Joia was the first child care provider outside of my family that cared for my children, ages 4 and 6. Joia was very flexible, dependable and bonded well with my children. Joia assisted my children with a learning Curriculum that was suitable for both children while balancing a learning/ fun environment for my boys. They love “Ms. J”. Even with COVID occurring, Joia was still accommodating as she ensured Safety protocols were being followed at all times, and even checked in on the boys during the pandemic at the time the children were not with her. Joia really loves on the children she works with and always keeps the children’s care PRIMARY. Joia was a blessing to my family and Joia will be an Asset to any family/child she comes in contact with. She is trustworthy, hardworking an all around a great nanny and person!"
