Kylie $25 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Kylie, and I’m 22 years old. I’m currently a student at West Valley College with a passion for working with children of all ages and abilities. I have over 12 years of babysitting experience, along with professional childcare experience at The Club at Los Gatos, where I worked with children ranging from 6 months to 12 years old. Growing up with four younger sisters (now ages 9, 15, 16, and 21) has also given me a lifetime of hands-on experience caring for kids. I am certified in CPR, First Aid, and AED through the American Red Cross. I’m happy to help with homework, enjoy planning creative art activities, and always strive to create a safe, fun, and supportive environment where children feel comfortable being themselves. One of my greatest passions is supporting children with special needs and neurodivergent children. I have several years of experience working with children with diverse needs, and one of the most meaningful experiences of my life was caring for an incredible young girl with autism. She inspired my love for working with children and helped shape the career path I hope to pursue. Looking ahead, my dream is to advocate for children's mental health and help improve mental health education and support within schools. Until then, I’m grateful for every opportunity to make a positive difference in the lives of the children and families I work with. I would love the opportunity to care for your little one(s), provide them with a safe, engaging, and nurturing environment, and help make your day just a little easier. I look forward to meeting your family!

I’m a caring, responsible, and energetic caregiver with experience working with children of all ages, from babies and toddlers to school-age children and teenagers. I also have experience as a teacher, which has helped me become patient, creative, organized, and comfortable adapting to each child’s personality and needs. I truly enjoy spending time with kids, planning fun activities, helping with routines, meals, homework, transportation, and keeping their environment safe and organized. I also absolutely love animals and feel very comfortable caring for pets, including feeding, walking, playing, and pet sitting.

Booked by 20 families in San Martin, CA

Hi my name is Shobha, living in san jose for the past 26 years I have one beautiful daughter who is 24 years graduated with bio major from UCLA last year. I worked for a large family day care center for a year worked with all age groups like infants to toddlers and I also worked as a Nanny for nine months took care of a baby when he was 7 months old now he is 16 months strong and handsome toddler. Besides this I also offer my services for pick up and drop offs as I have 23 years of excellent driving experience with clean record. I also offer my services for date nights as well as elder care. I am very loving and caring and very committed to my profession.

We had the absolute pleasure of having Shobha Aunty care for our daughter, and I cannot recommend her highly enough. From the moment she walked in, it was clear that she brings not only experience and skill, but also a genuine warmth and compassion that is incredibly rare to find. She kept our daughter happily engaged the entire time by reading books, singing rhymes, preparing meals, feeding her, and thoughtfully involving her in every activity. Her ability to connect so quickly was remarkable; in just a single visit, our daughter completely fell in love with spending time with her. What truly sets Shobha apart is the sincerity of her care. Everything she does comes straight from the heart. She is patient, attentive, and deeply invested in a child’s comfort and happiness. It’s evident that she takes great pride in her work, and her nurturing nature shines through in every interaction. She is an absolute gem, and any family would be incredibly lucky to have her.
