Hi there! I’m Tanan — a recent UC Berkeley graduate with a degree in Psychology and over 9 years of experience working with children from ages 2 to 15. Babysitting has been a part of my life since I was young, and it’s something I genuinely enjoy and take pride in.Currently, I assist my nanny friend by helping care for three young boys — we cook meals together, go on walks, read books, play games, and follow nap routines. I also regularly care for a sibling pair (ages 2 and 4) in the mornings and evenings once or twice a week. With them, I love leading fun activities like swimming, arts and crafts, and outdoor adventures. I’m confident managing multiple children at once and bring a calm, warm energy into every space.In addition to childcare, I have years of experience dog sitting and house sitting, which I’ve done regularly since high school. I’m very comfortable around animals — especially dogs — and understand how to maintain a clean, organized, and safe home environment. Families trust me to be responsible, respectful, and reliable while they’re away.Professionally, I’m a manager at Basecamp Fitness, where I oversee daily operations, multitask under pressure, and lead team communication — all of which have sharpened my time management and problem-solving skills. I also work as a production assistant, which has taught me how to stay organized, flexible, and detail-oriented — qualities I bring to every childcare setting.I have experience preparing meals for children with dietary restrictions and always aim to foster a safe, loving, and imaginative environment. I would love the opportunity to get to know your family this summer and would be grateful for a chance to connect or discuss more about how I can support your child’s growth and joy.

Hi! I’m the oldest of five kids, so I’ve been honing my caregiving and leadership skills from a young age. I have credits in Early Childhood Education and years of experience working with children from infants through sixth grade. I’ve worked in school districts, after-school programs, and as a nanny and house manager for families in both California and Montana.I have a passion for creating safe, joyful, and nurturing environments for children. I take great pride in my organizational skills and keeping a tidy, welcoming household—making a home where parents can always feel peace of mind. I also dedicate much of my time to supporting children with type 1 diabetes, volunteering every summer at a diabetes camp in California from 1998 through 2023.After pursuing a career in entertainment with NBC Universal, I returned to full-time nannying because my true passion is helping children thrive. I love making meaningful connections with kids, guiding their growth, and creating a home environment that’s both fun and supportive.

I currently work as a behavior technician, so i have experience working with maladaptive behaviors. I love the work I do because of all the milestones no matter how big or small, I love to celebrate it all. That being said I believe with my experience, I would be a great fit because of all the different behaviors I have seen and experienced. I am currently a child development major, so working with and to understand kiddos is a passion!
