Booked by 161 families in Pittsburg, CA

My passion and calling is caring for children. The safety and well being of my charges are paramount to me. I have 30 + years of experience working with children (including but not limited to children with various special needs) in Brazil, Germany, India, Hawaii and now here in CA. Tending to each child's needs with regard to his/her unique personality and developmental stages is my main goal, while still having fun in the process! Families that have experienced my care services describe me as reliable, creative, accommodating, patient, knowledgeable, enthusiastic, loving, and firm when needed (see reviews). Our time together is filled with adventures, age-appropriate activities, reading, imaginative play, walks in nature, music, Yoga, dance, and lots of love. My background is in Speech and Language Therapy, Montessori, and Infant/ Child Development. I am a mother of a 30 year-old son (graduated from UC Berkeley /Computer Science) and a 27 year-old daughter. (UC Santa Cruz /CS). Current CPR/First Aid. Trust Line registered, clean driving record and I own a reliable car. I do not smoke, use drugs, or drink alcohol. During the time your child is under my care, my phone usage is limited to communicate with you. I am fully present, engaging and giving the children my undivided attention. Rates vary, depending on distance and job description. Looking forward to hearing from you. Thank you!

“Nadia was amazing with our son. She was warm, punctual, thorough, and communicative. Our son loved her!”

Booked by 1 family in Pittsburg, CA

Hi! My name is Nayely and I am 25 years old. I recently graduated with a BA in Psychology at CSU East Bay. I also have an associate’s degree in liberal arts: math and science. I previously worked as behavior technician for autistic children and really enjoyed it. I was able to help kids develop their communication skills. I am a caring, patient and very responsible person. I take great pride in being always on time to anything I do. Growing up in a Hispanic household meant that I often cared for my 4 younger siblings. I also grew up helping my other family with their infants as well. I look forward to building connections with you and your children. Please feel free to reach out with any questions you might have. Thank you!

“If I could give her more than 5 stars I would. Nayely is an absolute godsend. I was drowning with work and school and she was the biggest help with cleaning. Will definitely rehire ”

"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!"
