Booked by 3 families in Millbrae, CA

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! ”

Sho $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Sho. I'm 21 with a passion for working with kids, and helping them to learn, to grow, and to have fun! I’m SFUSD certified since 2025. I began working with children in as an intern at Sunset Elementary School in San Francisco, where I interned until I got promoted later that year. After completing my internship, I joined Bay Area Community Resources working with students at Sunset Elementary through their before school and afterschool programs. Right now I currently work as a second grade afterschool teacher. I'm responsible for supervising students, leading activities, conflict resolution, and creating a safe, fun, and welcoming environment. I also help run the morning care program at our elementary school, where I supervise children from K through 5th. I'm also majoring in Childhood Development Administration at City College of San Francisco. I'm really into soccer, music, art, and writing. I love getting my hands dirty with arts and crafts, whether it’s painting, drawing, or just finding something fun that the kids enjoy doing. I'd say I'm pretty chill, patient, and entertaining. I like being someone kids can have fun with and feel comfortable around, but I also know when to set boundaries and routines to make sure that they’re safe and that things are organized. Working with kids has honestly been one of the most rewarding experiences I've had in my career. I’ve really enjoy getting to know each of my kids and watching them grow over time. I'd love to bring that same energy to babysitting, and hopefully get to know your family! :)

"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!"
