Hello everyone! My name is Itzel, but you’re welcome to call me Luna as well. A bit about me — During my free time I enjoy reading, writing , and finding beautiful and appetizing spots around the Bay Area as well as continuing my current education as a undergrad psychology student seeking a a career opportunity in this field. As the oldest sister of my family, I’ve been babysitting for family members and siblings for the past four years. Over that time, I have learned how to connect with children while growing personally and professionally, being able to babysit allowed me to understood better the responsibilities of providing a safe and fun environment to children as well as being able to truly make connection with family members and my own siblings as well! I have as well over 4 years of experience as a after-school teacher at an elementary school, working with ages 2yo-9yo supporting children’s academic and personal development by engaging in daily fun activities while following program curriculum involving arts&crafts, science, and celebrating cultural events. During this time, I enjoyed engaging with children to help them develop their cognitive, social, and emotional skills in a fun and supportive environment. I am also currently enrolled in college, studying psychology, which further enhances my understanding of child development and the ways I can positively influence children’s growth and well-being. I truly enjoy being a working with families as it allows me to connect with children, understand their unique perspectives, and contribute to their daily lives in meaningful ways. I look forward to the opportunity to bring my experience, patience, and passion for child development to your family. Please feel free to reach out as well for any additional question, looking forward to hearing from you! Experience: - AA in Psychology. - +6 credits Child Development/Behavior. - Para Educator Certification.

Itzel took care of my 2 yr old for a few mornings when I was in a pinch. I was around the house with her some of the time so I can say with confidence that she was a natural with that age. She was very patient and had a sense of humor about toddler oddities. She was reliable and communicated really well with me. I would definitely recommend her.

Booked by 202 families in Daly City, CA

Hi, I'm Shak! As the eldest in a large family, childcare has been a part of my life from a young age. I began as a mother's helper in 2009 and now have 16 years of active childcare experience. I've worked primarily with newborns and toddlers, but I love working with children of all ages. I bring an empathy-first approach to every family I work with. For infants, I specialize in sleep training and mother's helper support, and I'm happy to work alongside new parents through that journey every step of the way. I also focus on early language development through textures, sounds, rhythm, and music. With toddlers, I lean into interest led play, imagination building, curiosity about the world, early reading and counting. For school-age kids and teens, I emphasize active listening, healthy boundaries, and creating safe spaces for authentic expression. I also have meaningful experience with neurodiverse children who benefit from a different level of engagement and care. And since I studied classical text and diction, I love putting that to use — making up plays, collaborative storytelling, theatre games, you name it! But I'm just as happy getting active: bike rides, fort building, kite flying at the beach, little hikes, and whatever else sparks joy. I have a very low cancellation rate. If I accept a booking I am committed and will be there. I also have a reliable vehicle. I'd love to be a part of your family's village. Feel free to reach out with any questions!
