Jhennifer $25 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Alameda, CA

Hi! My name is Jhennifer, I’m Brazilian, and I'm currently living in San Francisco, California. I am offering child care services. I have more than 12 years of experience caring for children of different ages, from babies to teenagers. In Brazil, I worked at a preschool as an assistant teacher and cared for several children across different age groups. Currently, in San Francisco, I work as a caregiver for an 8-month-old baby and his siblings (4 and 5 years old), handling routines like feeding, baths, bedtime, and engaging activities. I’m responsible, patient, and truly enjoy creating fun, age-and-development-appropriate activities. I also love cooking and keeping kids safe and entertained. I speak Portuguese natively and am currently improving my English. I am excited to help local families who need a reliable and experienced babysitter!
