Kelly Oliveros $30 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Burlingame, CA

Hi, my name is Kelly , I’m 29 years old and I’m a responsible, caring, and trustworthy person. I have over a year of experience taking care of children: I worked as an au pair for one year, living with a host family and actively supporting the children’s development and daily routines. After that, I’ve been working as a part-time nanny. I truly enjoy spending time with kids and taking care of them. I’m also happy to help keep their things organized, do their laundry, and assist with light household tasks related to the children. I speak both English and Spanish, have had a driver’s license for two years, and I’m currently studying Marketing and Advertising virtually, which gives me a flexible schedule. I love creating a safe and positive environment for kids, encouraging their creativity, and supporting them as they grow with care and respect. I’d be happy to support your family and get to know your little ones!

"We were incredibly grateful that Maya was able to help us out with a last-minute childcare emergency. She matched our 9-year-old's energy with arts & crafts, some quiet reading, and a walk around the neighborhood. We'd have Maya back in a heartbeat!"
