Oakland Postpartum & Nanny Care FAQs
Do you have caregivers familiar with Oakland’s Chinatown community?
Yes. Many of our nannies and confinement nannies have experience supporting families in and around Oakland’s Chinatown and broader East Bay Asian communities. We can prioritize language, cultural traditions, and food preferences when presenting candidates.
Can you help families who commute into San Francisco or Silicon Valley?
Absolutely. A key benefit of live-in or dedicated daytime coverage is allowing one or both parents to focus on work while knowing that newborn care and household rhythms are taken care of. We regularly support Oakland families with commutes into San Francisco, Emeryville, and the South Bay.
Is live-in postpartum care realistic in smaller Oakland homes or apartments?
It can be, as long as there is a safe sleeping space for the caregiver and baby. We’ll review your home layout, parking, and neighborhood during your consultation and help you choose between live-in or live-out options.
How do we get started with postpartum or nanny care in Oakland?
The first step is to complete our Family Registration Form with your baby’s age or due date, schedule, and care preferences. We’ll review your details, discuss options, and introduce carefully matched candidates for you to interview.
