Meet college nannies and sitters from Foothill College

Hello, my name is Cagla. I hold a master’s degree and have been working with children and families since 2013. My experience includes working as an au pair in the U.S. as well as supporting families through after-school educational programs and family-focused care services. I understand the different needs of children at various developmental stages and adapt my approach accordingly, and I consistently receive positive feedback from families for my professionalism, responsiveness, and ability to build trust.

Hi there! My name is Yvonne and I am a Preschool Teacher. I speak both English and Spanish. I've worked with kids between the ages of 6 months-18 years old. *I am CPR/First Aid Certified through 08/2028 I like to spend my days reading, cross-stitching, and hanging out with my family. I love spending time outdoors playing all types of sports, coloring, painting, and other creative (and messy) activities! I'm very empathetic and caring, especially with those I love. My current aspiration is to continue to teach children how to be the best versions of themselves and foster their creativity!

Hello! My name is Jessica and I have 7+ years of experience working with children. My accumulation of experience is based off of both nannying (one time/part-time/long term) as well as having been a teaching assistant. My favorite part about child care is creating memorable experiences both for and with families as well as being able to be a reliable source of support and assistance. What I’d say makes me a stand out is that my approach with children is gentle and patient - I am big on reinforcing good behavioral traits and re-shaping those that can use improvement to be a source of empowerment and positive self esteem. In 2022 I became a Foothill College graduate, of which took part in my knowledge of engaging with kids. During my time at Foothill, I took several child development courses and took a grand interest in interacting with them/learning about them. Prior to this, I had worked for a program called STK under the Foothill Deanza Community College District Family Engagement Institute for over 4 years. Essentially, I worked as both and intern and mentor in that program, working with and leading nearly over 20+ children in classrooms per day and training interns on how to interact with children, teach children and engaging with children. Currently, I am attaining my bachelors degree and am enrolled as a full time student. Aside from taking care of children, I have experience with pet sitting! Whether it’s coming to your residence or bringing the pet with me for the time necessary, I could do either or. The majority of my skill set is centered around dogs and cats. If you wish to know anything else about me, please feel free to reach out. Otherwise, thank you for your time.

Dear Parents, I am a Bay Area native with 16 years of combined experience as a preschool teacher and a nanny/private early childhood educator. I have cared for and taught children in both San Francisco and Paris, France over the years, and each experience has been very rewarding. I am trilingual (English/Spanish/French), and my educational background is in music (classical voice). I love engaging children of all ages in fun and educational activities - especially singing and art projects! If you'd like to know more about my experience, I'd be very happy to hear from you!

Hello parents! My name is Lea. I have 12 years of childcare experience! I enjoy being a kid at heart :) I am currently in medical school and go back and forth from California to Boise Idaho. I am very active and love spending my time outdoors or exploring new places. Working with kids has always been something that I loved doing. I was an RBT therapist for 5 years and enjoyed every moment of teaching children.

Hello families! My name is Vanessa, and I currently live in Cupertino, California. I have experience caring for children of different ages, from newborns and infants to toddlers, school-age children, and teenagers. My approach is warm, patient, and respectful. I enjoy creating a safe, loving, and engaging environment where children feel comfortable, supported, and encouraged to learn. I have experience with daily routines such as feeding, diaper changes, naps, playtime, reading, outdoor activities, bedtime, and age appropriate learning activities. I also like to support children’s independence, curiosity, emotional development, and confidence through gentle guidance and Montessori inspired activities. I speak both Spanish and English, which allows me to communicate with families from different backgrounds and also support children in a bilingual environment. I am fully vaccinated, a non-smoker, and I have a clean driving record. I am also happy to help with light household tasks related to the children, simple meal preparation, transportation, and keeping their spaces organized. In addition to childcare, I have experience supporting elderly family members, including helping with meals, transportation to appointments, companionship, and daily routines. This experience has helped me become even more responsible, patient, attentive, and compassionate in the way I care for others. I also volunteer at my local church in Palo Alto, where I help with childcare during events and services. In my free time, I enjoy exercising, yoga, listen podcasts, Pilates, and continuing to learn about child development and personal growth. I truly enjoy working with children and building relationships based on trust, respect, kindness, and communication. I would love the opportunity to support your family and contribute to your child’s well-being, development, and happiness.

Note: if your child is sick or anyone in your household, please let me know, so we can discuss the risk. I don’t offer cleaning or cooking services.
