Kelly Oliveros $30 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in San Bruno, 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!

Pamela 2 reviews
$30 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 4 families in San Bruno, CA

Hi! My name is Pamela, and I am currently a student at City College of San Francisco (CCSF) studying Child Development. I am a friendly, bubbly, and caring person who loves working with children, helping families, and creating positive experiences for those around me. I have hands-on experience working with children as a Teacher Aide at a preschool, where I assist with classroom activities, supervise children, support their social and emotional development, and help create a safe, fun, and engaging learning environment. I also have volunteer experience working with children through summer programs, organizing activities such as arts and crafts, cooking projects, games, outdoor adventures, and field trips. Watching children learn, grow, and have fun is something I truly enjoy. In addition to my childcare experience, I have over five years of customer service experience, which has helped me develop strong communication skills, patience, reliability, and the ability to adapt quickly to different situations. I am comfortable interacting with people of all ages and pride myself on being dependable, organized, and trustworthy. I am available to provide childcare services, including babysitting, homework help, playtime activities, meal preparation, bedtime routines, and creating a safe and nurturing environment for children. I understand that every child is unique, and I strive to meet each family's individual needs. I also offer pet care services. As a cat owner myself, I understand the importance of ensuring pets feel comfortable, loved, and cared for while their families are away. Whether it's feeding, playtime, companionship, cleaning litter boxes, walks, or general pet care, I am happy to help keep your furry family members happy and safe. In addition, I provide household services to help busy families manage their daily routines. These services can include light housekeeping, tidying up play areas, organizing, laundry, meal preparation, washing dishes, running errands, and helping maintain a clean and comfortable home environment. My goal is to provide families with peace of mind by being a reliable, caring, and responsible helping hand. Whether you need childcare, pet care, or household assistance, I am committed to creating a positive experience and supporting your family's needs. I look forward to connecting with you and helping however I can!

“Thank you! Pamela is punctual and friendly! Would definitely love to work with Pamela again! :)”
