Jada

Booked by 1 family in San Jose, CA

Hi! I'm Jada, and caring for children has been one of the greatest joys of my life. I love creating safe, encouraging, and fun environments where kids can learn, grow, and simply enjoy being kids. Whether we're reading books, playing outside, doing crafts, or helping with homework, my goal is to make every child feel valued, supported, and cared for. I earned my Bachelor of Science in English and recently completed my MBA from Liberty University. My education, combined with years of hands-on experience, has strengthened my communication, organization, and problem-solving skills. For the past five years, I've spent time every week serving in lower-income housing communities, working with children from 6 months to 18 years old. I led lessons, organized activities, mentored children, and built meaningful relationships with families. My goal was always to be a positive influence while making life a little easier for parents. I've also worked as a nanny throughout college and have continued nannying over the past year. I've cared for infants, toddlers, school-aged children, and teenagers, and I'm comfortable preparing meals, helping with homework, creating fun activities, maintaining routines, and transporting children to and from school or activities. I have a clean driving record, so families can feel confident knowing their children are in safe hands. In addition to childcare, I've spent several years mentoring students through leadership roles as a Resident Assistant and Commuter Coordinator. These experiences strengthened my ability to remain calm under pressure, communicate effectively, and build trusting relationships with both children and parents. Outside of work, I enjoy reading, traveling, planning events, spending time outdoors, and being with family and friends. I'm dependable, patient, organized, and genuinely love building lasting relationships with the families I serve. Whether you're looking for an occasional babysitter, a long-term nanny, or after-school care, I'd love the opportunity to support your family and provide a safe, fun, and nurturing environment for your children!

"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."
