Maria Los Gatos
$28 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Maria Paula, and I’m a caring, dependable person who truly enjoys spending time with children. I love creating a safe, fun, and nurturing environment where kids feel comfortable being themselves while learning and growing, and I enjoy to be around kids. I’m patient, attentive, and enjoy engaging children in activities like reading, crafts, outdoor play, and helping with routines that keep their day positive and structured. Building trusting relationships with both children and parents is very important to me, and I always strive to support each family’s unique needs and values. I’ve been working with the same family for the past four years, where I currently care for their 4-year-old and 8-year-old. During that time, I’ve gained a lot of experience managing daily routines, planning fun activities, playing with my kids and making sure the children feel happy and supported throughout the day. I’m currently looking for a full-time position with a family where I can provide consistent, loving care and become a positive part of your child’s daily life. I look forward to connecting and learning more about your family!

Hello! My name is Jordan. I am currently a student at UC Santa Cruz and I am offering childcare and household services. I love being a baby sitter. I’ve been watching infants, toddlers and kids since I was 11 years old! My responsibility range from driving to/from all activities, arts and crafts, cleaning and homework help. I can also work as household assistance and help clean, cook and run errands! I have no problem with families with pets. So if pet sitting is needed as well I will step up to the job!
