“Maria cared for our daughter from the time she was just three months old until she started school. During those years, she proved to be exceptionally reliable, professional, and caring. She always arrived on time, communicated clearly, and showed genuine love and attention to my daughter needs. Maria was attentive to every detail, from feeding and diaper changes to engaging our daughter in age appropriate developmental activities that helped her grow and thrive. Her calm and nurturing personality created a safe, happy environment that gave us complete peace of mind. Maria treated our home and family with the utmost respect, and we always knew our daughter was in excellent hands. We were truly sad to see her go when our little one began school. I highly recommend Maria to any family looking for a trustworthy, experienced, and loving caregiver. Jessica M.”

I’m a responsible, energetic, and caring babysitter with experience working with children of all ages. I previously worked with Busy Bees Babysitting in Phoenix, Arizona, where I babysat part-time during the off-season while playing collegiate basketball at Grand Canyon University for three years. This experience helped me develop strong skills in childcare, safety, and keeping kids engaged in fun, age-appropriate activities. I recently moved to San Jose to finish my final year of basketball at San José State University, and my athletic background has strengthened my discipline, leadership, and time management skills. I genuinely enjoy working with kids, as a come from a big family, and creating a positive, safe, and fun environment for them. I’m patient, dependable, and great at building connections with children and families. I’m also happy to help with light household tasks, homework, and daily routines. I look forward to meeting your family!
“Sara is great! My daughter loves her!”
