Hi My name is Ngan Nguyen( nickname is Holiday), and I love working with young children. I grew up with my big family and appreciate the teaching from family, school and community. Besides, I believe children deserve get a good support to develop their full ability and potential in them. I had working in Child Development for 6 years as assistant teacher and floater teacher in different school. I earned an Associate of Science (A.S.) in Early Childhood Education from De Anza College and a Bachelor of Science (B.S.) in Child and Adolescent Development (Teaching Preparation) from San José State University. I am currently continuing my education by pursuing my Multiple Subject Teaching Credential, Vietnamese Bilingual Authorization, and a Master’s degree. As a student, I value making the most of my time. I enjoy working whenever I am available because it allows me to continue developing my teaching skills while doing something I genuinely love—supporting families and helping children learn and grow. I am available to work weekdays from 3:00 p.m. to midnight and have full availability on weekends.

Hi! My name is Jennifer, and I’m currently working as a veterinary assistant for a veterinary cardiologist. I’ve been caring for kids since I was about 12 years old—starting with my younger sister, then helping out family and friends. Over the years, I’ve gained experience with children of all ages, and it’s something I truly enjoy. Outside of my passion for caring for animals. Most recently, I worked as a nanny and house manager for a wonderful family over the course of three years. I love creating a fun, safe, and engaging environment for kids, and I take pride in being reliable and proactive in helping households run smoothly. Looking forward to connecting with you! Cancellation Policy: Full payment is required for cancellations made within 5 hours of the scheduled time. Thanks for understanding!

“Great sitter, would definitely use again!”

Hi! I’m taking time off from studying behavioral and cognitive neuroscience at UCSD and looking for occasional work. I started volunteering at a daycare that my high school had and fell in love with it. I found kids energy, excitement for life, curiosity, and imagination to be contagious. I am a caring, compassionate, patient person which makes it easy for me to interact with kids. After babysitting for over 5 years and working with different families I have gained experience with kids of all ages. I have CPR training, am fully vaccinated and also had my booster shot.

“Great service, she took good care of both of our kids. Very professional and would highly recommend.”
