Meet college nannies and sitters from San Jose State University

About Me I have 5 years of experience working with children, including after-school programs where I supported students with activities, learning, and development. I am bilingual in English and Spanish and very patient when helping children or families learn new skills. I have built great relationships with the families I’ve worked with and always strive to create a safe, fun, and supportive environment for children. Outside of work, I love to dance, work out, ride my bike, bake, cook, and take walks with my dog.

Hello! I am excited to work for Urbansitter to support with caregiving services! When I first learned about this opportunity, I immediately knew that I would be the one for the job! As an Early Childhood Education Associate Degree Graduate, current Bachelor of Psychology Major, former Home Based Preschool Owner, Director and Teacher, working in the field in various programs in the Santa Clara County for over 15 years, I am well versed in working with children and families with varied needs. Upon reflecting on ways that I have actively networked to increase accessibility and capacity while attending school full-time, I was inspired to sign up. Much can be achieved through careful, collaborative, culturally proficient and early innovative measures. Individuals that possess unique qualities such as compassion, flexibility as well as attention to the immediate needs of children and families, is what I have sought in caregiving. There are many reasons that I qualify as an Urbansitter caregiver beyond what can be included in this introduction however the two assets that are most important to me are passion and purpose. Passion describes what I hold in my core as everything that drives my motivation for working with children and families. My purpose aligns with the duties of this position as I have centered my life’s work in expanding belief systems, stepping in to support areas of gaps, bridging relationships, creating alternative pathways and continuing to make strides where there seems to be little resolve. Upon consideration for caregiving support through Urbansitter, I vow to support families by utilizing the tools that I have acquired as well as obtain new ones by exercising personal growth and continuing my education. I look forward to working together! Sincerely, Micaela

Hi families! I'm Taylor. I’ve been caring for kids since I was 16, and after 12 years of experience, I’ve developed a true passion for working with children. I have a bachelor's degree in Child Development and am currently in law school, but spending time with kids is still one of my favorite things to do! Over the years, I’ve worked as a nanny and in after-school programs, and I have some wonderful references who can vouch for my skills and dedication. Fun-fact: I’ve worked as a nanny through three trusted nanny agencies nationwide, and I’ve built strong relationships that reflect in my great recommendations. One of my jobs sent me to Finland for a year for newborn care. I'm also CPR certified, have reliable transportation, and always aim to create a fun, safe, and positive environment for the little ones in my care. I'm currently in graduate school and continue to babysit part time and I can wait to add more families! Experience: Newborns: 8 years 1-13: 10 years Looking forward to connecting with you and your family soon!

Hello! My name is Ruth and I am a retired children's librarian and a former lead teacher in an after-school program in West Seattle. I am looking for occasional work providing babysitting or cat sitting services or a nanny position. Is your regular nanny ill? Babysitter cancelled? I can fulfill last-minute requests, too. Highly creative, I have a master's degree in library and information science, specializing in children's services. As a librarian, I provided children's story times and created both craft and STEM programs. I enjoy being with kids and exploring books, art and nature. I have two cats, Susan and Linda, who are litter mates. They began life as feral, abandoned kittens who were terrified of people. They're now four years old and both are big lap cats. I also occasionally care for the cats of two households in West Seattle. I usually spend about a half an hour in the home, talking and playing with the cat, feeding, and cleaning the litter box. I grew up with dogs, and love them, too, so working with a family with dogs is A-okay with me! A licensed driver with clean record, I rely on public transportation to get around. I look forward to meeting you and your family.
