Booked by 6 families in Mountain View, CA

Hi wonderful families! My name is Sophia & I am 23 years old. I graduated with my Associates degree in Science/Health Care. I grew up as an only child for 21 years until my mom recently had a second child which is my baby brother who i adore so much and has taught me so much on how to take care of young infants/toddlers. He is my world. He’s 2 years old. I do occasional jobs on here and if the family likes me (which they usually do! Hehe) they give me a call or text whenever they need me to come back! Experience: I was a nanny to a 1 year old boy for a couple of months until the family had to move. I love being a sitter, i have always babysat my little cousins starting at 16 years old. I have also volunteered at a preschool watching infants as young as five months and as old as five years old. I am also CPR certified and can show proof of my certification. I am okay with dogs or cats in the home. Please let me know if you have any questions, I will be happy to hear back from you!

Sophia was friendly and on time. My 2 year old had a great time with her!

Booked by 4 families in Mountain View, CA

I am a responsible and passionate childcare provider with over 8 years of experience, committed to creating a nurturing environment where children feel safe, valued, and engaged. Currently pursuing a psychology degree focusing on early childhood education, I prioritize both emotional and academic support for children's growth. Compassionate, empathetic, and a great listener, I build meaningful connections with children and families, ensuring trust and dependability. My multitasking skills and adaptability allow me to handle various tasks, from homework assistance to meal preparation. As a preschool teacher for the past two years, I've gained hands-on experience guiding children through educational activities and daily routines. I've also worked with California State for Choices for Children, adhering to state regulations, and my Trustline background check guarantees safety. If you're looking for a caring, responsible, and experienced childcare provider, I'd love the opportunity!

Jaylysa was available on short notice and was engaging with the kids. She took my 2 kids to the park, fed them and put them to sleep. She communicated well, too. I would hire her again!
