Booked by 18 families in Newark, CA

Hi families! My name is Chloe and I am 28 years old with about a decade of experience providing childcare and household services for multiple families. I can assure you I will provide the best care for your child/children. I have worked with my primary family for over 5 years, but due to both of the kids now being in school my hours have been reduced and I am looking to pick up extra hours! When it comes to childcare, my goal is to create a safe, warm, and nurturing space for children and I always tailor my approach to meet each family’s individual needs. Growing up with two younger sisters played a big role in shaping who I am today. It encouraged me to be playful, patient, and imaginative, all of which I bring into childcare. I have had the joy of working with infants, babies, toddlers, and children ages 0–12. My responsibilities have included school pick-ups and transportation, meal prep and bottle feeding, bathing, bedtime routines and creating fun, engaging activities that support developmental milestones. I’m happy to help with household tasks such as laundry, dishes, light tidying, and running errands. Thank you for considering me and I look forward to connecting with you! Fun facts about me: • I graduated SJSU with a degree in Psychology • I am a big San Jose Sharks fan • I love arts and crafts and used to sell stickers on Etsy *For scheduling clarity, I do ask that if I am booked for a specific time period and that time ends earlier than planned, I am still paid for the full number of hours reserved. I appreciate your understanding, as this allows me to reliably manage my schedule.

Hello 😊! My name is Daniela, I am a 2nd year college student, focusing my studies on Child Development, Psychology, & Sociology. I am extremely passionate about the route I am taking, in terms of my education & the work I do within the elementary school I work in & the wonderful families I provide babysitting/nanny services to 🥰! I have over seven years of experience, both professional and personal, working with children, ranging from infants to teenagers. I’ve worked in school settings, nannied for multiple families, provided casual babysitting for date nights, and have also helped as a mother’s helper. My responsibilities have included supervising activities, helping with homework, preparing meals, engaging in crafts, supporting routines, and driving children to and from school or activities. In addition to childcare, I’m happy to help with light cleaning, meal prep, organizing, and running errands. I am CPR/First Aide certified, have a valid driver’s license, and have my own reliable vehicle; all of which allow me to be prepared in case of any emergencies or any general errands at hand. I truly enjoy working with children and supporting families in any way I can. I’d love to speak more about how I can best help you and your family!
