Update: July schedule is full. I may be able to accept few requests based on openings but it is always best to reach out. Thank you for your interest. Hello! My name is Soo. I have a passion for life of faith in Jesus, food and soccer. I have years of experiences working with children in different age groups in personal and professional settings as a babysitter, camp leader, after school program teacher, paraprofessional and substitute teacher/support school staff around the Bay Area in grades of TK to 5th. Working with children isn’t a smooth sailing but I actually really enjoy working with children, the cutie pies. I provide a place for your child to thrive in a play-based environment. I am not only present just for the sake of keeping a watch, but I strive to provide an environment and supervision where I foster and curate the day based children’s interests and minister to their emotional and educational growth as I learn to understand your child. Instead of harsh language and facial expressions, I seek connection through patience, understanding and empathy, knowing that they are still learning. I was crazy kid myself. As I grew older, I noticed how I was always surrounded by children, and I think I was a pretty popular playmate. I love many memories where we picked figs from the backyard, bake peach pies or just spend time in a competitive game of Tic Tac To, being this older sister I always wanted to have. I am an expert park-ranger and from the fancy skills of pushing two children on the swings, or making the greatest sand art, I make sure they have an awesome time with me. I’ve played collegiate level sports, and also have spent years to train as an artist. I am physically active with children. Parents have shown appreciation for the activities I‘ve provided, and I don’t leave work of cleaning up afterwards. I would love an opportunity to fill in as you step out to do what you need to do that day. They need good food, laughter and exercise. That is my priority. During our booking, I am not on the phone for personal use or entertainment. I use it as a tool to communicate or share updates with you. I am open to feedbacks and I appreciate transparency in our communication. If your child is SICK, please do let me know beforehand and be courteous. I’m looking forward to meeting with your family. It is a challenging time to raise children. Go mom & dad !!!

Soo was great! We are happy to work with her for the summer and highly recommend her.

Milpitas
$28 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 14 families in Sunnyvale, 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.

We've had Chloe come baby sit my 9.5yr old and she is professional, engaging and fun! My son enjoys his time with her. I appreciate her sincerely and professionalism as she is not the kind who will cancel on you last min etc. She keeps her commitment and thats super important to me.
