Hello! My name is Jenna and I recently graduated from CSU East Bay. I am offering childcare and pet care services. Over the years I have babysat numerous times for neighbors or family friends from children ages 1-10. Previously I worked at a petting zoo and managed groups of children from ages 3-14. I can also help with homework, especially in the science area as I have a bachelors in biology. In my free time I enjoy reading, drawing, painting, and crocheting. I have around 7 years of experience working with various types of farm animals and I am comfortable taking care of any animal! Upon request I’d be happy to give references.

Hello, If you are looking for experience you’ve found it! Ive worked in a hospital O.R. The reason I share that is because I do not panic and have seen it ALL. Safety being my number one priority for your child. I am en educated Early Childhood caregiver with all of the CA required Units to teach preschool and fully Red Cross CPR/First aid certified. I was a private Nanny full time for a local family for several years, caring for their 2 children from infancy. Those children are school age now. The last 2 years Ive been providing back up care for business, serving families in the Bay area providing care in their homes. Im a big proponent of play and the important role it plays in a child's development. I especially enjoy outside time. I studied horticulture and am hugely passionate about plants. My life has always been caregiving either of people or plants. Trust is important to me. I am the one you can entrust with your most precious child! It’s a privilege to be trusted by you and to provide your family with excellence. I am a married Mom of 2 girls ages 22 and 19. I look forward to chatting with you about your childcare need.

Booked by 6 families in Pleasanton, CA

My name is Fernanda, and I am from Colombia. I am university trained and licensed as a teacher in Colombia where I taught children ages 4 years to 14 years old. I am fluent in English and Spanish and for the past 2 years have been employed as a nanny caring for children ages 6 months to 3 years old. I am a very patient, responsible, and dependable person who is about promoting the well-being and overall development of children.

“Maria (she goes by Fernanda) was great with my two year old. She got here right as I was in the middle of my daughter having just had an accident. Fernanda took over and handled it without complaint and helped change her. My toddler warmed up to her immediately and Fernanda took great care of her. Would definitely have her back!”

"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!"
