Hello parents! I am a mom of a Kindergartener. I am also an accountant, but currently taking a break from working in the industry. I have availability in the late mornings and afternoons during the week and would love to help out with childcare, school pick ups, and after school activities. I am also pet-friendly as we have a family dog and available to take your pup on walks. I love spending time with kids, helping them learn and grow, sparking their curiosity and creativity, and supporting them as they are developing confidence and independence. I will keep your child engaged and entertained by playing games together, doing arts projects, reading books, building with Legos, staying active, or going to the park/playground. I like being active, and as a parent, I have been going with my son on hikes, skating together at the ice rink, swimming at the pool, doing yoga, and most recently roller blading. I am First Aid and CPR certified, current on vaccinations, and recently cleared by SJUSD to volunteer at the elementary school. I have been very involved as a parent since my son's birth, and feel comfortable taking care of children ranging from toddlers to elementary school age. Please reach out and I would love to connect with you and your family.
Hello, Families! My name is Alice and I am an experienced Nanny and House Helper located in San Jose, who currently works for a loving family with 3 little ones! My current employers will be out on vacation, so I'm available to work with families that may be in need of a temporary extra help this summer! My skills include: 🩺 First aid and CPR trained; 🍼 Experience with newborns and infants; 🧸 Experience with toddlers and big kids; 🧹 Can do light housework and choirs; 🍳 Can cook complete and healthy meals for babies, toddlers and adults; 🗣 Fluent in English, Portuguese and able to communicate in Spanish.
Hi! My name is Claudia and I'm a patient, warm, and dedicated nanny who truly loves working with children and supporting their growth every single day. 🌟 Originally from Colombia, I bring over 2 years of hands-on experience caring for babies from 5 months old up to toddlers. My experience includes diaper changes, tummy time, introducing solid foods, and supporting key developmental milestones such as rolling over and transitioning from bassinet to crib. I've also helped establish healthy nap and feeding routines, engaged children in age-appropriate activities, and taken them on outdoor walks — creating a calm, loving, and structured environment where little ones can truly thrive. I'm currently based in downtown San Jose and I'm available from 6:00 AM to 2:00 PM, making me a great fit for morning and early afternoon care. I'm comfortable with pets and I'm a non-smoker. Beyond childcare, I'm a driven and responsible person — I'm currently preparing for my IELTS exam as I get ready to pursue my Master's in Statistics next year. I believe my analytical mindset helps me be attentive, observant, and proactive when it comes to a child's development and routine. I'm also an active person who loves the outdoors — I've recently taken up bouldering climbing and enjoy staying active, which means I bring plenty of energy and enthusiasm to playtime! 🧗♀️ I'm genuinely looking for a long-term connection with a family, not just a short-term arrangement. Watching children grow, learn, and reach new milestones is something I'm truly passionate about, and I would love to bring that dedication and positive energy to your home every day. I'm happy to provide references from previous families upon request. I look forward to meeting you! 😊
Hello! My name is Valentina. I have over 5 years of experience working with children, including 2 years here in the U.S. I’ve taken care of newborns as young as 3 months old, as well as toddlers, preschoolers, and kids up to 10 years old and beyond. I have a degree in Business Administration, and I’m naturally organized, patient, and proactive. I truly enjoy creating a safe, fun, and loving environment where children can grow and feel supported. I’m also CPR certified through an agency-approved course, so your child’s safety is always my top priority. I love animals, so I’m happy to be in homes with pets, and I’m comfortable helping out with light housekeeping, laundry, tidying up toys, and preparing simple meals for the kids. I speak both English and Spanish fluently, and I love using songs, games, and reading time to help kids learn and have fun — especially if they’re learning a second language. Families often describe me as responsible, warm, and easy to communicate with. I take pride in being punctual, reliable, and treating every home with care and respect. I look forward to supporting your family and building a great connection with your little ones!
Hi! I’m Jordan, a Master’s student at San José State University with years of hands-on experience caring for children of all ages. I’ve been working with kids since I was 17, starting with sports camps for toddlers and elementary students, where I learned how to keep little ones active, engaged, and safe in high-energy environments. I currently serve on the kids team at my church, caring for children from infancy through age 11+. This includes creating fun, structured activities, supervising playtime, helping with routines, and making sure each child feels seen and supported. I’m patient, responsible, and naturally energetic—I love building genuine connections with the families I work with. In addition to childcare, I’m open to pet care and senior care, and I’m happy to assist with household tasks like light cleaning, meal prep, organizing, laundry, and running errands. I understand how valuable dependable help is, and I aim to make life easier for the families I serve. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, attentive, and proactive, I’d love to connect and see how I can support your family!
