Meet college nannies and sitters from Santa Clara University

I am a recent graduate of Santa Clara University, where I earned a Bachelor of Science in Psychology. I have experience working with children of various ages and backgrounds through my roles as a Youth Program Leader with the Boys & Girls Club and as a Registered Behavior Technician (RBT) supporting children with special needs, specifically autism. These experiences have strengthened my skills in behavior support, supervision, communication, and creating safe, engaging environments where children can learn and thrive. In August, I will be pursuing a Master of Science in Human Factors Engineering here in the Bay Area and am seeking a full-time/part-time caregiver position while completing my graduate studies. I am dependable, patient, and attentive, and I enjoy building positive relationships with children and families. I am passionate about supporting children's growth, development, and well-being and look forward to providing compassionate and reliable care.

Hi! My name is Emma. I’m a graduate student at Santa Clara university pursing a masters in counseling psychology. My experience with children ages 2-18+ began in 2020 as a freshman in college where I worked in the academic counseling office at my community college. From there I worked with 2nd graders in a school setting, supported teachers, was an intern at a head start school, I transitioned to work in the hospital supporting kids ages 5-9 years old with bereavement. Throughout the years my experience has extended from various settings and I look forward to providing a safe and fun environment for your children! I love to do arts & crafts and enjoy crafting some activities for children all ages! At my current internship at a school site (k-6th grade) I’ve had the greatest opportunity use my creativeness and make multiple items for my students! I truly enjoy doing these items and love to be outside! I have my own form of transportation, I know how to make simple meals, I can clean, and I’m a Spanish speaker! Aside from this, I enjoy being outside and going on walks! Note: while I do live in Newark I am very used to commuting and don’t mind driving to different locations!

Hello, my name is Sydney, I am 22 years old and am a recent graduate from Santa Clara University with a degree in Child Studies and Public Health. I grew up in South Pasadena, and am back home and attending graduate school in the fall for occupational therapy. While I was at Santa Clara, I worked at a daycare/preschool on campus working mainly on the daycare side (8 months-2.5 years old). I also have experience in working with children with autism and other developmental delays.

I'm a medical assistant at a pediatric and OBGYN clinic, currently applying to PA school and looking to babysit on the side. Kids have always been my passion! I'm CPR/First Aid & EMT certified with 3–5 years of hands-on experience. Whether you need a reliable date night sitter or just an extra set of caring hands, I'd love to be part of your village :)

Childcare has always been part of my life- being 1 of 5 kids, I would often care for my younger siblings and their friends, as well as our household pets. I then went on to hold summer babysitting roles between college summers, was a long term tutor, co-ran a city summer city, and for the past 4 years was a High School JV Women's Soccer Coach. I love supporting families and making a positive impact on young people's lives. I am patient, calm, creative, and always ready to engage through sports, games or crafts. I hold a college degree and maintain current CPR training. I'm comfortable caring for up to three children (negotiable for more) across all age groups and am happy to assist with meal preparation, carpooling, homework help, and light housekeeping. I prioritize clear communication and will follow your lead regarding household rules. I look forward to connecting and chatting more!

I have multiple years of experience as a substitute teacher. I am currently in the process of applying for my teaching credentials. I enjoy working with children and I am also bilingual in Spanish.
