Booked by 9 families in Campbell, CA

Hello families! My name is Vanessa, and I currently live in San Jose (Playa del Rey) - California. I have experience caring for children of different ages, from newborns and infants to toddlers, school-age children, and teenagers. My approach is warm, patient, and respectful. I enjoy creating a safe, loving, and engaging environment where children feel comfortable, supported, and encouraged to learn. I have experience with daily routines such as feeding, diaper changes, naps, playtime, reading, outdoor activities, bedtime, and age appropriate learning activities. I also like to support children’s independence, curiosity, emotional development, and confidence through gentle guidance and Montessori inspired activities. I speak both Spanish and English, which allows me to communicate with families from different backgrounds and also support children in a bilingual environment. I am fully vaccinated, a non-smoker, and I have a clean driving record. I am also happy to help with light household tasks related to the children, simple meal preparation, transportation, and keeping their spaces organized. In addition to childcare, I have experience supporting elderly family members, including helping with meals, transportation to appointments, companionship, and daily routines. This experience has helped me become even more responsible, patient, attentive, and compassionate in the way I care for others. I also volunteer at my local church, where I help with childcare during events and services. In my free time, I enjoy exercising, yoga, listen podcasts, Pilates, and continuing to learn about child development and personal growth. I truly enjoy working with children and building relationships based on trust, respect, kindness, and communication. I would love the opportunity to support your family and contribute to your child’s well-being, development, and happiness.

“Vanessa cared for my daughter Aaliyah (2½) this summer while she was off from preschool. She sat for us first on July 2 and 3, 2026 from 8:00 a.m. to 12:30 p.m., and then again on August 7, 10, 11, 12, 13, and 14 from 9:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. She was wonderful every single day. Vanessa didn't just supervise. She played with my daughter and filled her days. She took Aaliyah swimming at the big pool and splashed around with her in the backyard baby pool, took her to the park more than once, played dress-up, danced with her to music, and colored with sidewalk chalk on the patio. I work from home and when I got off work, Aaliyah was happy, worn out in the best way, and asking when Miss Vanessa was coming back. What stood out most was her patience. Toddlers are unpredictable, and Vanessa never lost her warmth. She is endlessly sweet, calm, and attentive. My daughter adores her. She was also a wonderful presence with my extended family. My elderly parents were often around during her shifts and joined in on outings with her and Aaliyah, and they love her too. Vanessa is respectful, easy to communicate with, and completely reliable. She showed up on time, was flexible when plans shifted, and always kept me in the loop about how the day went. Vanessa is thoughtful, dependable, and genuinely kind, and she treated my daughter like family. Any family would be lucky to have her. I will keep asking her to babysit on preschool vacation days, and I'd recommend her to anyone.”

I have excellent references. Update: September 30th 2026. Currently looking for a job position on Saturdays and occasional on Sundays. Could be also Friday nights.

“If you're looking for a babysitter you can trust completely, Katia is the one! She has cared for our twins since they were 6 months old, and they absolutely adore her. She treats children like her own, with warmth, patience, and endless energy. Katia is always on time and 100% reliable, so you can head out for date night or a weekend plan with total peace of mind. She keeps parents in the loop with photos and video updates, so you never have to wonder how things are going. She follows your routines and rules, handles behavior with a gentle but consistent touch, and makes sure the kids are happy and well fed. She is fluent in Spanish and helped our twins become bilingual, a wonderful bonus for any family. Her English is excellent, and she communicates clearly and kindly. Kids love her, parents trust her, and she makes every visit fun and safe. We can't recommend Katia highly enough!”

"We were incredibly grateful that Maya was able to help us out with a last-minute childcare emergency. She matched our 9-year-old's energy with arts & crafts, some quiet reading, and a walk around the neighborhood. We'd have Maya back in a heartbeat!"
