My name is Finn and I’m from Sacramento CA. I have been involved in childcare for over a year working at least 10 hours a week as a gymnastics/tumbling instructor for toddlers up. I have also been part time nannying for a family here in Marina for about 10 hours a week! I am studying at CSUMB and double majoring in Environmental and Marine Sciences with an ultimate goal of becoming a teacher. While I am living on campus, I have my own vehicle, a valid CA drivers license, and will always have reliable transportation. I’m open to flexible hours and rates depending on family needs and I am open to doing meal prep and light cleaning as well! I’d love to become a part of your support system, please reach out with any questions!

Hi, my name is Adriana, and I've lived in San Jose my whole life. I am currently a Student at West Valley College studying Child Growth & Development and French. I am also a competitive swimmer, and I did musical theatre when I was younger. I can help with both childcare and pet care. I am a certified lifeguard through the American Red Cross.

I have my own car as well as a license & insurance, and can help run errands. I enjoy cooking and can help with meal preparation as well. I have a lot of experience with both dog and cat care. Animals of all sizes and fur types are okay with me. I can take dogs on walks, to the dog park, drive them to appointments, and play with them.

Hi there! My name is Yesenia, and I’m so excited to offer child care this summer to support your family. With over 10 years of experience working with children from 6 months to 12 years old, I bring a warm heart, a creative mind, and a lot of energy to everything I do. I’ve worked as a babysitter, in daycares, after-school programs, and summer camps, and I’ve even performed in children’s shows at California’s Great America—so keeping kids smiling and engaged is second nature to me! I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Social Science (Preparation for Teaching) from San Jose State University and a Master’s degree in Teaching from Santa Clara University. I’ve also taught in bilingual classrooms for students in TK through 6th grade. Education is a huge passion of mine, and I love helping children grow, explore, and learn in fun and meaningful ways. I am passionate about working with kids because they keep me young at heart! I’m constantly inspired by their natural curiosity, joy, and honesty. From DIY art projects to story time to nature scavenger hunts, I believe in keeping kids busy in ways that continue to spark curiosity and creativity. Through it all, I lead with patience, positivity, and consistency. I believe children learn best by example, and I aim to show them how to be kind, respectful, curious, and confident in themselves. I’m caring, dependable, communicative, and always ensure I create a safe, supportive space where kids can be themselves. Outside of work, I love arts and crafts, reading, hiking, beach days, and staying active—especially with my dog and bearded dragon by my side. If you’re looking for a sitter who is responsible, nurturing, and genuinely passionate about working with kids, I’d love to be a part of your family’s summer!

Entering into my senior year as a student-athlete at San Jose State, I'm excited to spend my summer providing exceptional childcare. My positive experiences in previous babysitting roles, coupled with being a middle child, have instilled in me a genuine love for kids. I have three years of experience caring for children of all ages and am comfortable with up to two children at a time. I'm patient, creative, friendly, and very comfortable enforcing household rules. I enjoy playing outdoor sports, board games, and even some technology-based games with children. I prioritize open communication with parents, using verbal updates at pickup or your preferred method. I'm happy to help with cooking, crafts, carpooling, and swimming supervision. I'm eager to bring my energy and enthusiasm to your family this summer and create a fun, nurturing environment for your children.
