Booked by 1 family in Millbrae, 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!

Galilea $24 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I recently graduated from Cal Poly San Luis Obispo and am settling into a new chapter in San Francisco. I’m excited to meet new families and help out wherever I can! I’m the oldest of three siblings, so I’ve grown up being responsible, helping out, and looking after others. I enjoy spending time with kids and would love to help families with babysitting, keeping kids entertained, and making sure they feel safe and comfortable. I’m happy to help with activities, crafts, reading, and keeping little ones busy! In my free time, I enjoy baking, arts and crafts, reading, running, and hiking. I’ve also had dogs my whole life and have experience caring for a variety of animals, so I’m comfortable around family pets, too. I’m dependable, patient, organized, and respectful of each family’s routines. I’d love the opportunity to get to know your family and lend a helping hand!

"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!"
