Hi, I’m Necole! I am an experienced nanny and caregiver with nearly 10 years of professional caretaking background, including ~7 years supporting my last long-term family from infancy through school age. In May 2026, I completed my BA in Child & Adolescent Development with a minor in Special Education. After taking time to be a stay at home mom, finish my degree, and get married, I am excited to step back into my career field! For the time being, I am specifically seeking short-term/temporary roles (available between 9am–5pm, depending on location) that align seamlessly with my daughters school schedule and allow me to preserve our cherished weekday routines. I bring a structured, nurturing, and development-focused approach, and I am available to provide high-quality short-term support, emergency backup, or temporary coverage for your family. I look forward to connecting! • Resume Available Upon Request
“My family needed emergency care for our boys, who are 2 and 4 years old. Necole watched them for several days, and we were so happy with her service that we requested her for the following week. We have not seen our sons adapt so quickly to someone new. She was very attentive to them and their needs. She did an excellent job with food preparation and daily activities for them. We appreciated her extra efforts, playing music, reading them lots of books and doing arts and crafts (currently displayed in our home). She also made sure they got some safe, fun time outside. She is adaptable to change and figures out things on her own- we were comforted to know that our boys were in good hands.”
Hi! I’m Nay. I’m a professional educator with over 10 years of experience working with children of different ages. I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Education, a postgraduate specialization in Play-Based Pedagogy, and a Master’s degree in Education. I am currently certified in CPR and First Aid. My background in education allows me to combine attentive and responsible childcare with fun, age-appropriate activities that encourage learning, creativity, language development, and independence. I have hands-on childcare experience with infants and toddlers, including meals and snacks, diaper changes, naps, playtime, walks, playground outings, and daily routines. I also have extensive experience with preschool and school-age children through my professional background in education. Since Spanish is my first language, I’m happy to introduce and reinforce Spanish naturally through songs, play, books, everyday routines, and conversation. Families can expect me to be patient, responsible, organized, attentive, and communicative. I respect each family’s routines and preferences and always prioritize creating a safe, positive, and engaging environment for their children. I’m especially interested in occasional babysitting opportunities, including date nights, evenings, weekends, and one-time care. I look forward to meeting your family!
“Nay was fantastic! Caring, kind, and extremely professional. Punctual, enthusiastic, and sweet with my sons. They played a lot together and they were very happy! Highly recommend Naykelly! ”
Hi there! I'm Valentina a current speech pathology assistant at a special education school in Redwood City. I enjoy going on runs, spending time with my dog and trying new recipes. I have been working with kids since I was 16 and have since gained experience in caring for toddlers, twins, and tweens. I am a versatile person who would love to help out your family.
I’m a warm, dependable, and upbeat caregiver with 10+ years of experience caring for children from toddlers through school age in both home and classroom settings. As an early childhood educator, I bring a mix of structure, creativity, and lots of heart to every family I work with. I love getting to know each child’s personality and creating a safe, comfortable environment where they can play, explore, learn, and just be themselves. Whether we’re heading outside for an adventure, getting creative with an activity, working on homework, or simply following their usual routine, I’m happy to meet children where they are. I’m CPR/First Aid certified, reliable, communicative, and experienced in building trusting relationships with both children and parents. My goal is always for your kids to feel cared for and for you to feel completely comfortable knowing they’re in good hands.
“Emonni was fantastic with my 6yo daughter and 2yo son. They took to her immediately! She’s reliable and was able to pickup all the instructions on their routine quickly. ”
I am currently a PhD graduate student at Stanford University, obtaining my degree in stem cell biology. I am offering services with child care, senior care, pet care, and household services. I have 6 years of experience nannying and raising children 4 years of age and older (both boys and girls), with experience babysitting toddlers aged 2 and up. I love spending time with kids on activities and crafts that they love to do - everything from playing dolls to arts and crafts to playing catch. I can also provide help with homework. I have experience working with children with dyslexia, and working on reading and flashcards to help improve their reading skills. Additionally, I have several years experience providing caregiving to an elderly adult with dementia. I can help with daily tasks, appointments, meal preparation, or just being a companion. I also love animals! I have owned dogs, cats, horses, and every small animal you can think of. I can provide housework and help with organizational tasks - I love organizing! I am CPR and pediatric first aid certified. I’m learning Spanish but still a beginner conversationally.
“Lauren is an absolute angel, my kids love her and she has been so gracious and helpful, even in such short notice. She is kind, plays with them both in engaging ways and is and makes them feel good and happy by the end of the day. She even makes great art! My son says he has a great day, and my daughter is absolutely smitten. Thank you so much Lauren for supporting us in our times of need!”
