Meet college nannies and sitters from San Jose State University

Hi Im Nazila :-) I’m from the Bay Area but just moved to Reno! I love working with kids because it brings me so much joy and it keeps me in touch with my inner child. Their creativity, energy, and excitement for life remind me to see the world with fresh eyes. I have always had a passion for helping others and enjoy creating a safe, fun, and engaging environment for those I care for. Over the years, I’ve worked with children of various ages, from infants to pre-teens, helping with homework, organizing activities, and ensuring their daily routines run smoothly. With my attention to detail, strong communication skills, and adaptability, I’m confident in managing household tasks such as light cleaning, meal prep, and organization. My dedication to providing a safe and nurturing environment for everyone makes me a reliable and trustworthy caregiver.

I am a Child Development graduate from SJSU with 5 years of experience as an after-school teacher. I have 1 year of professional nanny experience, and a couple years of non-professional babysitting for family and friends. I have experience designing and implementing developmentally appropriate activities for infants, toddlers, and school-age children, including art, math, and English/literacy-based learning. I also enjoy building strong relationships with children and families while supporting learning, creativity, and emotional growth. I am calm, nurturing, and reliable, and I take pride in creating a positive and supportive environment. I also value open communication and consistency in daily routines. Looking forward to connecting with families in the future!

Hi, my name is Lauren. I have three years of experience working with children (both formal and informal). I have done pickup/drop off for grade school kids, taken them to the library, park, and extra curricular activities. I prioritize creating fun, engaging, and playful environments while taking care of children. I’m currently working full time, during the school year, as a Behavior Technician at Los Altos School District; I have worked in ABA therapy and alongside children with ASD for a little over three years now. I graduated from SJSU in May 2025 with my B.A. in Behavioral Science. If you’d like to see if I have availability that isn’t listed on my calendar, please feel free to reach out and ask! Also open to date night hours/weekends. Look forward to meeting you & your kiddos! :)

Hi! I’m a full-time college student completing my undergraduate degree for law school and a full-time daycare teacher with over 8 years of experience working with children through daycare, babysitting, volunteer work, and children’s ministry. For the past two years, I’ve worked at the YMCA, where I’ve received certifications in youth development, behavior management, safety, and CPR. I regularly lead groups of 30–50 children, create engaging activities, and support other staff to help ensure a safe, positive environment for every child. In addition to daycare, I have experience babysitting for families by preparing meals, helping with homework, transporting children to school and activities, maintaining routines, and creating fun, age-appropriate activities. I also teach Sunday School, where I plan lessons and activities for children. My top priority is creating a safe, caring environment where children feel supported and parents feel confident leaving their little ones in my care. Outside of work, I enjoy singing on my church’s worship team, practicing French (I’m bilingual in English and Spanish!), playing soccer and tennis, and getting creative with arts and crafts.

I have over 10 years of experience working with children ranging from infants to 9 years old. I earned my Bachelor’s degree in Child and Adolescent Developmental Psychology from San José State University and am fluent in both English and Spanish. I am creative, energetic, and passionate about creating a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment for children to learn and grow. I love supporting families and helping children reach important developmental milestones while making everyday activities fun and meaningful.
