Joovana 1 review
$35 per hour for 1 child

Hi Bay Area families,🌉 I’m Joovana, I’m a mom, a mother’s helper, and someone who genuinely loves taking care of kids and helping families.🤍 I’ve been caring for children for over 20 years and have had the opportunity to help more than 100 families through Care and Nextdoor, I have caring for everyone from newborns to teenagers. I was a Sunday school teacher for 8 years as well. I’m the kind of person who likes to jump in and help wherever I’m needed. Need someone to pick up the kids, run to the grocery store, help with potty training, change diapers, clean bottles, do laundry, fold and put clothes away, tidy up, or even make dinner? I’m happy to help. Being a parent is already hard, while juggling with work, life and family, let me help you! And if your kids just want someone to hang out and play with them, I’m there for that too! I love reading, playing, getting outside, doing activities, and just being present with kids. I’m not on my phone while I’m caring for them, and I’m happy to follow your family’s preferences when it comes to screen time and routines. I’m also a mom to 5 great kids, my oldest is 21 and youngest is 3, so I understand how much an extra set of reliable hands can mean! I have a clean driving record, I love organizing and helping manage a home, and most importantly, I really love kids. Oh, and I’m CPR certified! Whether you need a mother’s helper, house manager, part-time help, date-night care, or simply someone to come in and make your day a little easier, that’s exactly what I’m here for. You’ll find someone reliable, friendly, caring, and ready to help wherever you need me. ❤️ I live in San Mateo, and willing to drive up to 15 miles to help you.🤍

“Joovana has worked with our family for more than a year, caring for our son from when he was about 9 months old until he recently started school. She has been a wonderful caregiver and is genuinely loving, patient, and caring with children. Our son is usually very cautious around people he meets for the first time and normally takes a while to warm up. We were very impressed that Joovana was able to make him feel comfortable enough to nap with her on the very first day they met. From the beginning, she built a very special and trusting relationship with him. Joovana has been great to work with, and we always felt that our son was in caring and capable hands. Even now that he is in school and doesn’t see her regularly, he still sometimes says Joovana’s name at home, which says a lot about how much he likes and remembers her. We are very grateful for the care and love Joovana has given our son over the past year and would happily recommend her to other families looking for a kind and dependable caregiver.”

Booked by 5 families in San Carlos, CA

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!

Booked by 7 families in San Carlos, CA

I’m a 26-year-old nanny with over two years of experience as an au pair and several years working with families throughout the Bay Area. I have experience caring for children of all ages, from newborns to school-aged kids and I’m currently getting certified as a postpartum doula. I studied law in Brazil and occasionally help my mom with her law firm, which has strengthened my organization, responsibility and communication skills. I’m fluent in Portuguese and English, speak basic Spanish and I used to play soccer in Brazil, which helps me bring fun, energy and active play into my caregiving. I’m caring, reliable, and dedicated to creating a safe, nurturing and engaging environment where children can thrive.

“Dominick arrived on time, and my 7yo and 9yo boys had lots of fun with her! When my husband arrived home, they were flying paper airplanes together. We would love to have her back!”

Booked by 1 family in San Carlos, CA

With over seven years of childcare experience in the United States, I am dedicated to providing a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment for children. In addition to my experience as a nanny, I worked as a teacher in Brazil, where I taught Portuguese as a second language in a multicultural school for children of diplomats. I also have a background as a Brazilian lawyer, which strengthened my organization, responsibility, and problem-solving skills. I am passionate about supporting children’s development, creating structured routines, and fostering a positive and caring environment. I would love the opportunity to contribute to your family.

“Arrived on time, responsive and very professional. Kids like her too.”

Angelina $30 per hour for 1 child

I truly enjoy spending time with children and creating a safe, caring, and fun environment where they can learn, play, and feel comfortable. Over the years I have gained experience working with kids of different ages. I worked for two years as a children’s activity animator in a tourist village with children ages 5–12. I also spent two years as an au pair in California, one year as an au pair in Belgium, and one year as a nanny in Austria. Currently I study psychology and child development, which helps me better understand children’s emotions and development. In the past few months I have also been babysitting part-time for several families. Through my experience as an au pair, I am comfortable cooking, helping with light housekeeping, organizing the home, and supporting families with daily routines. I can speak four languages fluently, and I also have some knowledge of Spanish. I can drive, i am responsible, patient, and attentive, and I value positive and supportive environment. Thank you!

"Johanna is AMAZING! My two boys love her - she does everything from amazing arts & crafts, to helping with homework, to getting them playing outside! She also drives them and does everything involved with after school activities: packing snacks, getting the right gear, etc."

"When we hired Amani, we felt like we hit the jackpot. We were very lucky to find her on UrbanSitter at the beginning of school year. She was picking up kids from school, taking them to afternoon activities, helping them with assignments. She prepped food for them, helped organize their closets and keep their spaces neat and orderly. We would hire her again in a heartbeat."

"Caitlin has been such a lifesaver for our family. We hired Caitlin to help with the after school routine. The kids took to her instantly. She does it all - school pick ups, dinners, baths, lunch making, clean up, etc. She has really helped make a busy time so much easier for us."
