Booked by 1 family in Saratoga, CA

Hello family! My name is Hildy. I’m a fun-loving, experienced nanny with over 10 years of childcare experience and CPR/First Aid certification. I enjoy being part of a child’s everyday world helping them learn, play, and feel safe and supported. I have taken early childhood education courses, incorporate Montessori methods, and have worked as an assistant to an after school teacher. I also have experience with children of different ages and needs, including ADHD, high-functioning autism (I’m familiar with IEP accommodations), and food allergies. I’m very mindful of safety and provide healthy meals or snacks. In addition to childcare, I also have experience in elderly care and companionship, which has strengthened my patience, attentiveness, and compassion. I’m dependable, punctual, calm, patient, and I support families with routines, school drop-offs and pick-ups, activities, meal prep, errands, and light housekeeping. I find caregiving to be a rewarding and fulfilling career, and I’m truly honored to be a part of a child’s growth and development.

"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!"
