Hi, I’m Nancy! I’m a Bay Area native and a full-time first-grade teacher who truly loves working with kids of all ages. With over five years of classroom experience, many years of babysitting, and a Master’s in Education, I bring patience, creativity, and a nurturing approach to every family I work with. I’m a credentialed public school teacher and have cared for infants, toddlers, and school-aged children—from feedings and nap times to homework help and fun activities. Being bilingual in Spanish and English helps me connect with families from diverse backgrounds, and I’m CPR & First Aid certified so you can feel confident your little ones are safe with me. Families describe me as dependable, warm, and easy to communicate with. Whether you need an extra set of hands during a busy week or a trustworthy sitter for a night out, I’d love to support your family and give your kids a safe, engaging, and fun experience.

Booked by 3 families in Half Moon Bay, CA

Hello! My name is Lori, and I’m an experienced, caring, and dependable caregiver who genuinely enjoys spending time with children. After 15 wonderful years in my professional career, I recently stepped away to embrace a more balanced lifestyle. I’m now looking for a few babysitting opportunities each week where I can do something I truly enjoy—caring for and connecting with children. Being a daycare provider help me financially through college. I’m a mom of two children and raised them as a single parent, so I understand how important it is for parents to have someone they can trust and feel completely comfortable leaving their children with. I was also the primary caregiver for my father before he passed away, which further strengthened my patience, compassion, and sense of responsibility. I have experience caring for infants, toddlers, and young children. I currently babysit a 2½-year-old on a consistent basis and have been part of his life since he was a baby. I’ve also volunteered at Stanford Children’s Hospital in the Newborn Hearing Screening Unit, an experience that gave me additional exposure to newborns and families. I’m nurturing, patient, attentive, and responsible, and I enjoy creating a safe, positive, and engaging environment for children. I’m happy to follow your family’s routines and preferences and understand the importance of keeping parents informed and comfortable while they’re away. I would love the opportunity to meet your family and learn more about your childcare needs. Please feel free to reach out with any questions—I’d be happy to tell you more about myself and my experience!

Booked by 1 family in Half Moon Bay, CA

My name is Victoria, and I am offering child care, senior care, and household services. Growing up in a big family with 7 siblings and 21 nephews and nieces, caring for others has always come naturally to me. I have years of hands-on experience with children of all ages. With so many little ones in my own family, I am comfortable with the joys and challenges that come with every stage of childhood. Whether it's helping with homework, organizing activities, or simply being a warm and reliable presence, I love being a helping hand. I am also happy to assist with household tasks such as cooking, cleaning, and running errands, making daily life a little easier for the families I work with. When it comes to senior care, my big family has taught me the value of looking after those who need extra support. I am patient, attentive, and always ready to help with meals, appointments, or simply good company. If your family could use an extra pair of loving, capable hands, I'd love to connect!

Booked by 3 families in Half Moon Bay, 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! ”
