I am also CPR and First Aid certified, and I am actively studying Child Development to continue growing in my passion for working with children. I am: • Very patient, joyful, and loving • Highly experienced with behavior strategies, routines, and sensory needs • Comfortable working with children of all abilities • A very active and hands-on nanny who loves engaging with kids • Bilingual – I communicate fluently in both English and Spanish I love animals and have no allergies, so I’m happy to work in homes with pets. 🕒 Availability: • Saturdays – available all day 📍 I have my own car, a valid driver’s license, and I serve families across San José and nearby cities (Campbell, Santa Clara, Sunnyvale, Cupertino, Saratoga, Los Gatos, Milpitas, etc.).

I’m a caring, dependable, and compassionate person with over 9 years of hands-on caregiving experience. I started caring for my younger siblings at age 10, and over the years, families began trusting me to care for their children as well. I’m comfortable caring for children of all ages and love keeping them entertained, safe, and comfortable. I also enjoy doing kids’ hair and helping with their everyday routines. I’m a true animal lover and have cared for animals my entire life. I’ve had three dogs of my own and currently have two cats, so I’m comfortable caring for pets as well. I’ve also helped older adults with household cleaning, errands, technology, and companionship. I’m patient, a good listener, and genuinely enjoy being someone others can rely on.

Hi! I am a responsible, compassionate, and experienced sitter who genuinely enjoys spending time with children and creating a safe environment for learning and fun. I understand every child is unique, and it is important to learn their routines, needs, and interests. I am a recent graduate with a Master of Science in Geography, and have had experience teaching (and caring for) kids from elementary school age to freshman year of college. I am passionate about childhood education and helping kids develop their interpersonal skills. I find it almost magical watching children discover, learn, and apply new things to their everyday life! Although my experience hasn’t followed one continuous timeline, children have been ever-present in my life through a variety of professional and familial settings. I am able to provide tutoring, care, and driving services with a very flexible schedule. I prioritize safety, enrichment, and fun to give parents peace of mind while they’re away. I’d love the opportunity to get to know your family!

"UrbanSitter is my go-to for quality sitters! I can book weeks ahead of time or easily find a same-day sitter when in a bind. I even hired a part-time nanny during a daycare transition. Customer service is helpful and babysitters respond in a timely manner."
