Hi there! I’m Tanan β€” 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 β€” 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 β€” especially dogs β€” 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 β€” 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 β€” 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.

I currently own and operate my own home daycare and am looking for new families to enroll and join our community. My enrollment is limited and intentionally kept small to ensure that the unique needs of every child are met with the highest level of thoughtfulness and individualized care.With over 10 years of dedicated childcare experience, I offer a nurturing and structured environment for children to learn and grow. My background includes professional experience in a pediatric hospital setting, providing me with a unique perspective on child health, safety, and specialized care needs.In addition to my hands-on experience, I have completed formal Early Childhood Education coursework, allowing me to implement age-appropriate developmental activities into our daily routine. My goal is to bridge the gap between high-quality education and the comfort of a home-like atmosphere.
