Booked by 13 families in Atherton, CA

Hi! My name is Yarelli. I’m 31 years old and starting my fifth year working at a middle school on the Peninsula as an Executive Assistant to the Principal. I’m a Redwood City local and currently live in Belmont with my husband and our dog. I’m also a proud SF State alum—Go Gators! I have 10+ years of experience working with children ages 2 months to 15 years old. I’ve worked in preschools, after-school programs, summer camps, as a nanny, and as a mother’s helper. I’m also the oldest of seven girls, including two sets of twins! My youngest sisters are 9-year-old twins. I also have 10+ years of pet care experience, including house sitting, dog sitting, and cat sitting. I grew up around dogs, mostly Pit Bulls, and currently have an 8-year-old rescued Chocolate Lab/Weimaraner, Beau, who I trained myself. I’m CPR and First Aid certified and available evenings, weekends, and occasional days off. Feel free to reach out, I’d love to help! Yarelli

Hi there! My name is Belén and I’m originally from Buenos Aires, Argentina. I’m a fashion designer graduate and I been living here for three year already. I love kids and I’m currently taking care of two girls of 5 and 8. I have experience with kids from 3 months old to 10 years old. I like playing with them, reading books, or do arts and craft. I even teached how to crochet to my kids. I consider myself as an artsy and crafty person and I enjoy sharing that with kids. I’m fluent in english but my native lenguage is spanish. Cheers, Belén (:

“Belen is the best. She cares for our two girls (5,3) and they adore her. She plays fun, creative games with the girls. We could not function without her. Belen is the greatest!!”

Hello! I’m Amina, and I have several years of babysitting experience with kids of all ages. As a caregiver, I would describe myself as nurturing, patient, and kind. Your child’s emotional and physical wellbeing are important to me! You can expect me to be fully engaged with your children. A few activities I might do with them (depending on their age and interests) are reading stories, doing crafts projects, playing board games, making friendship bracelets, or playing with outdoor chalk. My priority is to keep your children happy, healthy, and safe. If you choose to book with me, you can count on me to be dependable and attentive. Thanks for reading and please reach out if you have any questions!

“Amina was a fantastic sitter for my 2 boys. She was friendly, caring, compassionate and playful. Highly recommend!”

Booked by 2 families in Atherton, CA

Hi, I’m Necole! I am an experienced nanny and caregiver with nearly 10 years of professional caretaking background, including ~7 years supporting my last long-term family from infancy through school age. In May 2026, I completed my BA in Child & Adolescent Development with a minor in Special Education. After taking time to be a stay at home mom, finish my degree, and get married, I am excited to step back into my career field! For the time being, I am specifically seeking short-term/temporary roles (available between 9am–5pm, depending on location) that align seamlessly with my daughters school schedule and allow me to preserve our cherished weekday routines. I bring a structured, nurturing, and development-focused approach, and I am available to provide high-quality short-term support, emergency backup, or temporary coverage for your family. I look forward to connecting! • Resume Available Upon Request

“My family needed emergency care for our boys, who are 2 and 4 years old. Necole watched them for several days, and we were so happy with her service that we requested her for the following week. We have not seen our sons adapt so quickly to someone new. She was very attentive to them and their needs. She did an excellent job with food preparation and daily activities for them. We appreciated her extra efforts, playing music, reading them lots of books and doing arts and crafts (currently displayed in our home). She also made sure they got some safe, fun time outside. She is adaptable to change and figures out things on her own- we were comforted to know that our boys were in good hands.”

Booked by 3 families in Atherton, 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! ”
