I’m a reliable and trustworthy mom from Castro Valley with a wonderful ninth-grader. I previously taught at a public school here in Castro Valley, and I hold an active California teaching credential for multiple subjects and special education. I love caring for children, tutoring, and would be happy to support a parent who is homeschooling. I have a clean California driver’s license, full insurance coverage, and I’m certified to drive for field trips at my son’s school.
Hi my name is Olue and i am an amazing mother of 2 boys who are 9 and 13yr. I am a college graduate. I enjoy working with children and have been watching kids for over 10yrs. I am experienced in Nanny shares and 1 child care also. My responsibilities are to make sure that i work as a team with parents, feeding, teaching, nurturing, Loving and creating a safe space for a child but most importantly being gentle. Fully vaccinated including Tdap. I already work for a Family part time and have been going 9 months now. I honestly am a great nanny who doesn’t mind helping around the house so parents can come home and spend time with their child. I am a 100% ok with families who have pets.
“Olue was simply amazing. She has a warm, calm presence that both of my boys responded to immediately. My two-year-old is very attached to me, and while he needed a few minutes to warm up, he quickly felt comfortable and connected with Olue — which says so much about her natural ability with children. She was engaging and attentive, met my son exactly where he was, and followed his lead based on his interests and energy level. I felt completely at ease leaving him in her care and would wholeheartedly recommend her to any family looking for someone trustworthy, nurturing, and genuinely wonderful with kids.”

Hi, I am a 20 year old part time college student from the east bay. I am trained in conflic resolution and outdoor education, I am a lifeguard with CPR certification. I took ASL for 4 years in high-school, and am proficient and able to communicate clearly in ASL. I have worked in many different forms of child care. I have taught and directed circus summer camps as well and classes for 3 years, working with students ages 6 to 15. I taught and demonstrated different circus forms, helping each student succeed. I volunteered as a youth cabin leader for a non-profit organization for 6 weeks over the last 3 years, working with ages 8 to 12. I lived in the cabins with 7-9 students, attending to their needs and supporting them in their social-emotional development. Last spring I was hired as a Facilitation Fellow, I was then in charge of a youth leader as well as a cabin of 7-9 students during the morning and evenings. During the day I taught the curriculum, including conflic resolution, assertiveness and the importance of diversity to 15-16 upper elementary students at a time.

Hi families! My name is Yamilet, and I’m a childcare provider and art instructor with five years of hands-on experience working with kids of all ages. I’m a 20-year-old college student at Cal State East Bay studying Communication, and caring for children has been a huge part of my life for the past several years. I’ve spent four summers as the Lead Art Camp Instructor at St. Paul’s Episcopal School, where I planned and executed activities, supported ages 4–11, lead off-campus trips, and guided counselors-in-training ages 12–14. I learned how to keep groups engaged, safe, and supported while helping every child feel confident. Year-round, I work as the Head Nursery Childcare Provider at Indelible Grace Church, caring for infants and toddlers ages 0–3. I’m responsible for setup, cleanup, feeding, diaper changes, running the nursery, and directing volunteers. I’m CPR and first aid certified, and I’m very comfortable managing busy rooms with calmness, patience, and clear communication. If families are interested, I also offer optional weekly art lessons as an add-on. I teach drawing, watercolor, colored pencil, clay, and other fun creative projects—completely up to the family if they’d like to include this. Kids love having a creative outlet and a chance to explore different materials. I also run a small business called Yami’s Face Paint, where I do face painting, henna for events. You can see my work on Instagram at @yamisfacepaint. Outside of childcare, I’m a Division II cross country and track athlete, which means I’m dependable, energetic, and always on time. I’m fluent in English and Spanish and do my best to create a warm and safe environment where kids feel comfortable and cared for. I would love the chance to support your family. Please feel free to reach out with any questions!
“Yamilet was wonderful! She arrived right on time and was very thoughtful, even bringing activities to do with Simone. Simone really enjoyed spending time with her and felt very comfortable with her. We had a great experience and can’t wait to have Yamilet back the next time we need a babysitter. Highly recommend!”
