Dedicated and reliable professional with experience in childcare for over 15 years , customer service, cooking, and housekeeping. Currently working as a Paraeducator, assisting teachers and supporting students’ learning and development. Skilled in providing high-quality care for children, preparing meals, maintaining clean and organized environments, and supporting families with daily routines. Known for being responsible, hardworking, and friendly, with a strong commitment to teamwork and excellent service.

Maria cared for our daughter from the time she was just three months old until she started school. During those years, she proved to be exceptionally reliable, professional, and caring. She always arrived on time, communicated clearly, and showed genuine love and attention to my daughter needs. Maria was attentive to every detail, from feeding and diaper changes to engaging our daughter in age appropriate developmental activities that helped her grow and thrive. Her calm and nurturing personality created a safe, happy environment that gave us complete peace of mind. Maria treated our home and family with the utmost respect, and we always knew our daughter was in excellent hands. We were truly sad to see her go when our little one began school. I highly recommend Maria to any family looking for a trustworthy, experienced, and loving caregiver. Jessica M.

I’m a responsible, energetic, and caring babysitter with experience working with children of all ages. I previously worked with Busy Bees Babysitting in Phoenix, Arizona, where I babysat part-time during the off-season while playing collegiate basketball at Grand Canyon University for three years. This experience helped me develop strong skills in childcare, safety, and keeping kids engaged in fun, age-appropriate activities. I recently moved to San Jose to finish my final year of basketball at San José State University, and my athletic background has strengthened my discipline, leadership, and time management skills. I genuinely enjoy working with kids, as a come from a big family, and creating a positive, safe, and fun environment for them. I’m patient, dependable, and great at building connections with children and families. I’m also happy to help with light household tasks, homework, and daily routines. I look forward to meeting your family!

Sara is great! My daughter loves her!

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!

Hi! My name is Cynthia & I’m 22 years old. I am offering child care, senior care and pet care, yay! I love being around kids, I grew up around kids my entire life. My mom owned a daycare for 10 years so I got the opportunity to help her and gain experience. My responsibilities have included picking kids up from school/ taking them to the park & occasionally cooking for them if requested by parent. As well as helping with homework. I currently work at an elementary school and have knowledge on special education as well! I am open to all :) I am also happy to work with dogs and or cats.
