Meet college nannies and sitters from San Jose State University

Hello! My name is Kassandra, however, I prefer to go by Kassie. (I apologize that video in my profile is old, I will update it when I can). I am a student who works as a waitress as it is accommodating. I am currently enrolled at SJSU as a Psychology major with a double minor in Child Development and Sociology. I’m looking down a career pathway of becoming a Child Psychologist, therapist/counselor, school counselor, behaviorist therapist or something along that path. I love working with children and I want to make a career out of it. I have received AAs in Psychology, Allied Health, Natural Science and Health Education. I love to help others. I’ve always wanted to follow in my grandma’s footsteps with saving lives and making a difference by working in the medical field. I am COVID-19 vaccinated and boosted as well as flu vaccinated. I have also received all my other vaccines. My experience with children goes back to when I first started babysitting at the age of 12. I have worked at day cares where I have experience with children from infancy to 15 years of age. I am comfortable with all age groups. I do not smoke. I love animals as well so pets are never an issue! I have experience house sitting/petsitting as well. I have been house sitting/petsitting since I was 13 years old. It first started out with watching my neighbor’s house and cats while they were gone and progressed to dog sitting/cat sitting at other people’s houses. I am very responsible and respectful of other people's homes. I clean up after myself and make sure the house looks like it did when I arrived.

Hi- My name is Susana, I have been around children my whole life since my mom did a lot of babysitting when I was younger. I had the opportunity to learn a lot of things from her such as supervising children, practicing good hygiene, and organizing age-appropriate activities. Over the last past three years, I have had the opportunity to care for children under the company name Jovie/ Bright Horizon. Working with multiple families throughout my babysitting experience has deepened my passion for understanding child development. Seeing children grow and reach their milestones has been incredibly rewarding, inspiring me to continue making a positive impact on their lives.

Hi My name is Ngan Nguyen( nickname is Holiday), and I love working with young children. I grew up with my big family and appreciate the teaching from family, school and community. Besides, I believe children deserve get a good support to develop their full ability and potential in them. I had working in Child Development for 6 years as assistant teacher and floater teacher in different school. I earned an Associate of Science (A.S.) in Early Childhood Education from De Anza College and a Bachelor of Science (B.S.) in Child and Adolescent Development (Teaching Preparation) from San José State University. I am currently continuing my education by pursuing my Multiple Subject Teaching Credential, Vietnamese Bilingual Authorization, and a Master’s degree. As a student, I value making the most of my time. I enjoy working whenever I am available because it allows me to continue developing my teaching skills while doing something I genuinely love—supporting families and helping children learn and grow. I am available to work weekdays from 3:00 p.m. to midnight and have full availability on weekends.

Hi families! My name is Chloe and I am 28 years old with about a decade of experience providing childcare and household services for multiple families. I can assure you I will provide the best care for your child/children. I have worked with my primary family for over 5 years, but due to both of the kids now being in school my hours have been reduced and I am looking to pick up extra hours! When it comes to childcare, my goal is to create a safe, warm, and nurturing space for children and I always tailor my approach to meet each family’s individual needs. Growing up with two younger sisters played a big role in shaping who I am today. It encouraged me to be playful, patient, and imaginative, all of which I bring into childcare. I have had the joy of working with infants, babies, toddlers, and children ages 0–12. My responsibilities have included school pick-ups and transportation, meal prep and bottle feeding, bathing, bedtime routines and creating fun, engaging activities that support developmental milestones. I’m happy to help with household tasks such as laundry, dishes, light tidying, and running errands. Thank you for considering me and I look forward to connecting with you! Fun facts about me: • I graduated SJSU with a degree in Psychology • I am a big San Jose Sharks fan • I love arts and crafts and used to sell stickers on Etsy *For scheduling clarity, I do ask that if I am booked for a specific time period and that time ends earlier than planned, I am still paid for the full number of hours reserved. I appreciate your understanding, as this allows me to reliably manage my schedule.

CA Trustline Certified. ECE certificate, Indiana University. I have 24 years of experience in working with infants, toddlers, adolescents, adults, seniors, and pets. I enjoy caring for others and find this type of work rewarding. I am also a very quick learner and like my reviews to come from your kids! I am CPR/AED certified. I hold an MA in Peacebuilding and a BA in Sociology of family. I have a cleared current background check and a clean driving record available upon request. I am COVID & TB negative, Flu shot current and immunized! I am also available for Pet Sitting, House Sitting, Household Errands, and Transportation jobs. I respond within the hour.

Hello! My name is Kelly, and I have experience with kids and pets! :) Please message me for additional availability as I work full time (11 AM - 8 PM) with semi flexible hours and am a fur mom. I can try to accommodate if noticed in advance. ***Note: I am only looking for occasional jobs*** PET CARE: I currently have 2 puppies and a cat at home (11 month old maltipoo, 11 month old domestic shorthair, and 6 month old mini aussie). All three are extremely sociable and friendly towards other animals. We currently live in an apartment, but do our best to make up for the lack of a backyard by taking them to the dog park, on drives, play dates, and giving them enrichment toys! CHILDCARE: I have mostly worked with ages 4-12 prior to COVID-19. However, I have worked with younger ages and am comfortable with them. In all 4 years of my high school career, I taught children from 2nd grade to 11th grade, so I am also able to help with any homework necessary! With that being said, I have experience in breaking the ice with children slowly to gain their trust, as well as yours as a parent. As a person, I am extremely cautious and aware of my surroundings, so I will always assure that your child(ren)’s safety comes first. I look forward to meeting you and your family and to also help you in anyway that I can!

Hi- My name is Jala and I just graduated with my Bachelor’s from San Jose State. I am now offering childcare and household services. I love working with kids because it gives me the opportunity to celebrate the little things everyday, whether it's a simple advancement in their learning journey or just watching them smile and play. I first began working with kids when I was 14 at a summer camp, and from there, I began working with multiple families outside of the camp. I have 3-5 years of experience with infants, toddlers and kids (even twins) but for the past 18 months, I have been focusing my care on infants (those under 1). In my spare time, I like to listen to music, spend time with my family and friends and hangout with my dog!

Hi, I’m Roxanne and I have 10+ years of babysitting experience with infants, toddlers, and children. I’m a mom to an active 4-year-old, so I understand children’s needs firsthand. I care for newborns, toddlers, and children at a church nursery. Background in child development coursework and continuing education. Safety & professionalism: • CPR & First Aid certified • Non-smoker, clean record, fine with pets • Bachelor’s Degree in Sociology • Bilingual: English & Spanish Availability: • Friday, Saturday, Sunday 📩 Send me a message if you’d like to connect! I’d love to help care for your little one and give you peace of mind ❤️

Hi! I’m Sydney :) the kind of sitter kids adore and parents trust. I’ve babysat for over 50 families and nannied for 5, from snuggly newborns to too-cool teens (and everything in between). Whether your child is shy, energetic, sensitive, or strong-willed…I meet them where they’re at and we always click. I’m big on fun, but even bigger on safety. I know how to soothe a baby, handle meltdowns like a pro, and keep older kids engaged (yes, even without screens!). I also have experience with special needs, including autism. I show up on time, I communicate clearly, and I’ve been asked back by almost every family I’ve worked with. Most even skip the app and text me directly now! Looking forward to meeting your family and bringing some extra joy (and calm!) to your day. — Sydney 💛
