Booked by 8 families in Hayward, CA
Hello! My name is Jenna and I recently graduated from CSU East Bay. I am offering childcare and pet care services. Over the years I have babysat numerous times for neighbors or family friends from children ages 1-10. Previously I worked at a petting zoo and managed groups of children from ages 3-14. I can also help with homework, especially in the science area as I have a bachelors in biology. In my free time I enjoy reading, drawing, painting, and crocheting. I have around 7 years of experience working with various types of farm animals and I am comfortable taking care of any animal! Upon request I’d be happy to give references.

Booked by 5 families in Hayward, CA
My name is Fernanda, and I am from Colombia. I am university trained and licensed as a teacher in Colombia where I taught children ages 4 years to 14 years old. I am fluent in English and Spanish and for the past 2 years have been employed as a nanny caring for children ages 6 months to 3 years old. I am a very patient, responsible, and dependable person who is about promoting the well-being and overall development of children.
“Maria (she goes by Fernanda) was great with my two year old. She got here right as I was in the middle of my daughter having just had an accident. Fernanda took over and handled it without complaint and helped change her. My toddler warmed up to her immediately and Fernanda took great care of her. Would definitely have her back!”
