Hi! My name is Katherine and I am based in San Jose. I am a preschool teacher for 10 years. I also have a degree in Management and Fine Arts. I love drawing, singing, and playing with kids.
Hi! I’m taking time off from studying behavioral and cognitive neuroscience at UCSD and looking for occasional work. I started volunteering at a daycare that my high school had and fell in love with it. I found kids energy, excitement for life, curiosity, and imagination to be contagious. I am a caring, compassionate, patient person which makes it easy for me to interact with kids. After babysitting for over 5 years and working with different families I have gained experience with kids of all ages. I have CPR training, am fully vaccinated and also had my booster shot.
“Great service, she took good care of both of our kids. Very professional and would highly recommend.”
My name is Camila, I am 31 years old. I am from Brazil. I’m an energetic and affectionate person, responsible, kind, and respectful. I love spending time outdoors, but I can also make any day indoors fun and joyful. I have experience caring for multiples, infants, toddlers, and children of all ages. In addition to my experience as a nanny, I worked for 9 years as a dance teacher in a daycare/preschool, spent 5 years as a summer camp leader, and also entertained children at birthday parties. I am fully vaccinated and CPR/First Aid certified. I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Biotechnology, a degree in Educational Psychology, and have experience as a teacher’s assistant with a strong background in child development. I’m also an actress and ballerina with a passion for the arts, and I hold a valid California driver’s license.
I recently graduated San Jose State University this past May 💙 I'm originally from Southern California! I have a variety of experience for ages 6 months to 12 years. I was a nanny for 2 girls for 3 years throughout college, and do many occasional jobs with multiple families. My style of childcare is hands on, such as doing arts and crafts, playing games, going to the playground. As well as helping out with homework, reading books and more. I enjoy getting to know the children personally and prefer no screen time. Throughout high school, I've gained experience working with children mainly through local church organizations. I'm a former overnight camp counselor for kids. I also grew up with two younger siblings which I took care of almost every day. I love working with kids of all ages, especially younger ones. I have a husky at home, so I am very comfortable with pets! I am fully vaccinated with a booster shot as well. I look forward to meeting you!
Hello! My name is Stephanie, and I have 8 years of experience caring for children of all ages. I’ve worked with multiple private families and successfully managed a nanny share, starting with babies at just 2–3 months old and staying with them until toddlerhood. I also run my own residential cleaning business, giving me flexibility to take on babysitting opportunities. I’m passionate about nurturing children, creating a safe and fun environment, and supporting their growth with patience and care. • CPR & First Aid Certified • Excellent references available upon request 😊

"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!"
Hillary S., parent
"We used Tania for a last minute emergency. She responded very quickly. My daughter seemed to enjoy herself. My son napped most of the time. I enjoyed how she kept me updated by text."
