Hello! My name is Angela and I'm 26 years old. I have experience at daycares with ages from 3 months to 6 years. I was also a full time live-in nanny and was with them for a year and still babysit all the time for them! I've been around kids my whole life and am super comfortable with all ages. I have completed a few Early Childhood Education classes. I am looking forward to speaking with any potential families! :)

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! ”

Hello my name is Natalie and I offer child care services.😊 Child Care: I have experience with taking care of both children and babies. I've taken care of babies 6 months+ and also older kids 2 yrs -16 yrs. In addition to babysitting, I help kids with their homework and provide school pick-ups and drop-offs, along with errands/shopping for parents. My experience includes play activities, going to the park, making meals, story time and bedtime routines. For babies bottle feedings, bathing, and changing diapers. I've also worked with special needs kids, having helped raised my godson who is autistic, and my prior experience in Special Education training courses. I can assist with homework in subjects including math, English, science, history, and art. I have an excellent driving record, with no tickets or accidents in over 30 years. I'm happy to work with families on a one-time or part-time weekly schedule and also can provide references.

“Natalie has been working with our family and 3 boys (5-8-10) in San Mateo four days a week. She helps with all the boys after school activities, driving, and short term babysitting. She's reliable, has a good work ethic, trustworthy, and consistently demonstrates patience and good judgment in supporting and navigating the boys’ different personalities and everyday ups and downs.”

"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!"
